You can turn the clock speed down if the temp bothers you

i decided to run FaH on one of my networked workstations. Why is GPU usage so low? Is it dependent on the current work unit, and if it is aren't i supposed to get 2 different units that can leverage the GPU and CPU? I ran BOINC for years but it's my first time using FaH.

Each is doing a different WU, the project code is different on the CPU and GPU.

versed pelican Feb 8, 2019, 1:08 AM

#

so is it normal that the GPU use is so low?

proven marlin Feb 8, 2019, 2:24 AM

not sure about windows task manager

#

I mostly use msi afterburner to track GPU usage

versed pelican Feb 8, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

thanks for the tip. I'll check the NV control panel to see if it's clock stepping. windows task manager is pretty decent for showing 3D, compute, video encoding and memory but maybe the WU uses something else. In BOINC compute or 3D would show 90+% usage

@versed pelican task manager does not report correct usage when folding

#

If you are on the high folding setting it sound be running at 100%

Shouldn’t use task manager really for hardware monitoring anyways

Do we have any ideas why the Radeon VII out performs the vega 64 so much in folding?

pseudo abyss Apr 22, 2019, 10:37 PM

How much?

rich depot Apr 23, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

It is almost twice as fast in folding while having 4 less CUs than the vega 64 @pseudo abyss

#

my thinking is it has something to do with the memory bandwidth, as we found stupid high mem OCs seem to benefit F@H despite the fact the folding projects are actually held in system memory

Also, @rich depot , set dates for the BOINC Pent are out. May 5th - 19th
