Ok time to crank up those GPUs and show them how its done. I swapped one over to Linux and gained some PPD. May do the other one tomorrow. Maybe I'll fire up one of the old 2P or 4P systems and see what they can do these days on SMP. I did bump the O/C a little and the Wus were still good, no errors. My thoughts and prayers for you guys down South suffering through this cold snap with no heat and electric. I sure hope things turn around for you guys quickly. Not a good situation at all,hang in there.

Just re-enforcing that we've been around the block a few times. 2001 is a bit ambitious though, I agree.

If they don't show up to the competition in another day or so let me know and we can remove them from your roster and replace their production.

Glad you're ok and welcome aboard! I added a little extra firepower tonight, will see what I can do tomorrow. Cold and snowing here, I can use the extra heat.

Any one have any idea why my RTX2060 is only crunching OpenCL and not cuda? I get this error "error loading cuda module can't find cuda error file not found (301)" I installed 461.09 and 461.40 and Installed the cuda10 tool kit when the new drivers did not work. One was game ready and the other was the studio ver. At least it is folding now, at first it errored/failed every WU. I de.l the drivers and reinstalled them, then it did start folding. At least in OpenCL This system did have an AMD R9-280x in it before the 2060. I uninstalled those drivers. Win10 pro ready to install win10 2004 if I were to let it. x99 EVGA with an i5-1660 V3 CPU 2x8gb G-skill 2400 memory I am using the newest folding client 7.44.2 I believe it was. Just DL it today so it could use cuda Maybe tomorrow I will do a fresh win10 install. It doesn't take that long to do.

Yes, a very wise older fella dressed up as Count Chockula or something offered this, it seemed to help A LOT: "Yeah, the only way to fix it to shut down the system and unplug it from the wall for 24 hours Unplug the modem and router too just to make sure. Then fire it up again. If it still is messed up try it for 48 hours." HOPE THAT HELPS!!

I think part of the problem is someone just told his teammates that it is time to bust out the large sandbags. Just saying.....

I think the cuda toolkit can interfere with cuda dll packaged with Folding@Home core. It's also possible that wu isn't cuda enabled. Not all were tested and verified for Cuda speedup.

I took an old WD raptor drive and installed Ubuntu 18.4. Folding and crunching away nicely. Easy install. It is even running an OC I could not get to work on that win10 install. (Knock on wood) After this challenge and the Tour De Prime os over I'll reinstall win10pro.

Your PPD needs the help [-46%] ...... stop reading & go buy one seriously send a PM to any team member if you have no idea why your PPD is far different than your estimate I'm not online as much as usual, the last several weeks .... life has its challenges & my free time has all but vanished
