tpf is the time per frame. The time it takes to fold 1%


or if you have hfm already installed, there´s a column or it

I believe a reason why they fail to mention it is because some of the guide writers are still using XP and it is not a requirement on it. I had to leave for class before the first frame went in so I dont know how much time elapsed. I will check it when I get back to my computer and not this crappy library one I am at right now. I know that it had run for more that 15 minutes before I left without showing another frame so maybe I have something wrong or my moderately oc'd 920 is to blame.

well there is something wrong because it took 2 and half hours to do 1 percent. I did have to lower my clock down to stock speed because my cooler sucks but it still shouldn't take 2 hours or more. Any ideas fellas?

What command line parameters are you using to run it?  What project is it (look in the log file where it started and it will say Project xxxx (run yy clone zz gen aa)?

Sorry and yes all are GPU completions

Let me know if you guys need anymore info. Also could someone give me a really quick and simple explaination about what everything is. For example what is the difference between the regular SMP and VMWare and bigadv. Also the diffference in FAHMON and HFM. Sorry for the hassle but I sure believe it would help me get a handle on this stuff.

The only thing I see is that you set it to ask before connecting. I don't think that would make it run slow. Is there a reason you want it to ask before connecting to the internet?

Is your CPU getting close to fully loaded on all cores?

Welcome to the team, I still have questions almost a year into folding, don't ever hesitate to ask them.

Nevermind I forgot the task manager has that aspect. DUH!

If you go to the control panel and look at the performance information and tools, under advanced tools there is the Resource Monitor. Open this and while running the client look at the various graphs to see if all cores are getting at least 80-90% load.
 
EDIT: see you got that yourself while I was posting.
 
tank, was going to point him that way once he gets things running right. I find the affinity and priority is more for maximizing output, not a necessity to get things going at first.

Is that on all 8 cores?

Let it go one or two more steps before you get too happy. It was already part way through a step when you started it. Just making sure you don't get set up for a big fall, always be cautious.

Maybe a little hope!

I believe I got HFM.net running by myself for once haha....GPU is going pretty well I believe. As well as a 260 can do i suppose. I average a WU every 2 hours or so.

It is all stock. Is the two hour time bad?
