The reason I ask is I have two Intel based computers, folding 24/7 basic auto settings running Windows 10 display drivers.
1 computer has 2x EVGA RTX 2060 XC Ultra Gaming
the other computer has 2 different gpu's
1x EVGA RTX 2060 XC Ultra Gaming (Pcie 1 slot)
1x Asus ROG-STRIX-RTX2060-O6G (in the 3rd Pcie slot)
The computer with the ROG card consistently shows 200,000 more ppd, in the FAH advanced control...??
Any idea why that would be?
Both computers running Precision and AI Suite 3
Both i7 computers
I eventually will be combining Two ROG cards in the computer that is producing less PPD but I was just curious if anyone had any insight.

All WU are different ... so it is normal to see sometimes large variation
Next is the GPU OC & PCIe bus

Hi Cool Gtx This Rog card is FAT and not in a good way...lol I only bought it because it was $60cdn cheaper when I was buying the EVGA's Didn't realize it was so long.. 3 fans..fat(2.5 slots) Whatever computer it is in it boost the est by 200,000+ I just ordered another ROG Cool Gtx...they are running the same OC auto settings without oem drivers The ROG is in the 3rd Pcie... Mhz gpu settings the same It is is mystery

Have you been monitoring the temps between cards?

yep... All fans set to aggressive with Precision... High 50c or low to mid 60c pci 1 is 60c and pci 2 or 3 is 55ishc sometimes lower never higher Mem gpu identical..6801mhz Gpu Mhz identical..1920-1935mhz

Then it just comes down to luck of which gpu gets which work unit and how fast the upload and download with the servers being wonky right now. I think CoolGTX hit the nail on the head.

 Actually Hybrid will have 3 EVGA 2060 xc Ultra's and Folder will have 2 Rog 2060's Slot and separation distance will dictate Hybrid is a 4 slot WS pro board Folder is a 2 slot Prime Z270 Going down to check their bios settings and have to shut them down for a bit

I HAD planned on buying another EVGA 2060 XC Ultra Gaming, partially with the my Evga bucks, but the Rog is producin... Probably grab a Gold PSU with the Bucks instead My third upcoming build might be based on cheaper cards if I can figure out what makes for a better producer... I saw a mining board with a bunch of pci slots (1x thou) and it was less than $90 cdn but I am a long way from that build for the moment. ProDigit had an open air mining rig in his post but I am one for keeping the dust out...lol Maybe a see through case for dusty environments...hmmm

I have a tempered glass case. I used to run an open bench back in the early days so I could dry ice and water cool / chill. I like seeing what I built, LEDs or not. Dust can be dealt with. As I grow my folding, I'll move back to something open-air.
Do you. There is nothing wrong with admiring your creations!

I am building using Haf Evo's square cases, ease of access is very important to me. Once complete I will be installing them in older LARGE Tower Cases I wasn't using anymore. None of them have viewing doors but they do have lots of fans... Which I guess could be lit up...lol I have just started to experiment with the idea of having a box on display. Sooo..not...not yet but possibly My cable management has been terrible (non existent cause I was lucky to have gotten it connected...lol) I have a HUGH manual dexterity issue  Oh Jayrock I have seen some really great creations so I do agree with you on showing them off

In Bios when you turn on XMP you have some options So on the Ez mode it is a field disabled or profile 1 and then it asks Intel or manual by profile or something like that. If you are in Advanced it has auto manual disabled. I switched on and have Intel control it through the profile... Are there better options for a uninformed and dangerous character that might be lurking with the Big Dogs these days?  I have just read this ... https://www.adata.com/upload/faq/EN-XMP.pdfwasn't allot of help...kinda repeated what I already knew or guessed...lol..

My open air rig has a box fan supplying akrflow, with a hepa filter on the back.
The dust on my rig is minimal after 1 year, and believe it or not, all it takes is unplugging, flushing the board with water and toothbrush (10 minute job), and allow it to dry (hairdryer), and it's ready to go for another year.
I don't keep my rigs for longer than 2 years. Technology catches up, and there's a need to run more efficient hardware.

WoW I always find it hard to get the dust out of all the little crevises so I try and keep it from getting in. Oh here is a update on the difference between the EVGA RTX 2060 XC Ultra and the ROG Strix 2060 OC...the OC has a p and q mode for the fan profile. Performance or Quiet Switch. Now everything I have read says that all it does is increase the fan speed so they don't stop when at idle. Supposed to be "DUAL BIOS" switch for performance and it is supposed to change fan profile. Ok so I switched it to q mode. Changed the bios for XMP on the other computer and changed nothing else on the Hybrid machine. Hybrid's performance went down and matched Folder...no crap...really. I went down at 11:30 and switched it back rebooted. Same settings except fans won't stop and the PPD went back up....LOL I found the difference...

It's pretty safe to say that 200,000 point difference is going to be more about the WU then about anything in your system for a 2060.

This morning Folder is displaying just over 2 mil PPD (2 evga 2060 xc i7 7700K) Hybrid is displaying 2.3 mil PPD (evga 2060 xc + Rog Strix 2060 oc i7 9700K) Hoggle I will agree that ppd being displayed at any one time is based on each WU BUT...Hybrid consistently is in the higher range over 75-90% of the time. Precision is showing identical Mhz etc for each card... I will be replacing the EVGA 2060's in Folder with my Rog's and installing all my (3) EVGA 2060's in Hybrid.The new Rog should be in the end of the week..

I just stopped by to see who's actively folding because our team (EVGA) is folding at a much lower rate than some tech youtuber social media who mobilized his entire legion of followers (and pockets to build 6X Quadro folders). Just want to say thank you to those on this thread for actively folding, and constantly looking for ways to improve your PPD.

Just want to say thank you to those on this thread for actively folding, and constantly looking for ways to improve your PPD. Me as well  We have had some growth, as seen in the pic. I have a feeling that after the current pandemic subsides, so will the active participants of many teams. I do wish that we had a public message to share as I believe those folks who join now would probably stick around afterwards due to the eVGA folding family  I remember someone was making some incredible desktop art for eVGA, perhaps he can be persuaded to draw up a folding recruitment page we can all share on other sites. ? If anyone else has that artistic ability , I for one would share the hell out of it.

You can get those on fleabay dirt cheap. I have a few with drawer slides for the mobo, psu and cpu cooler. Paid in the range of 12.50 to 25 bucks brand new in box but on auction.

Yeah. PD has been nice enough to talk to me about open racks via PM. I hadn't seen the thread. Gonna wait to see how bad my heat issues are as I go, even though $36 for that rack might just be worth the tinkering fun. Apparently I'd have to rig up a way to hold up any non-ref card.

First link is entire Post and the second link is in the first paragraph ...$35 mining rack under his parts he listed...it's $89 now

Yeah, that rack has been standing idle in my balcony for over a year. It's not very good. Not enough cooling capability for the GPUs, they're too close together, plus like mentioned, those mining racks work with reference cards. Any other GPUs, and you'll have to add support beams to support the tail, and not make the GPUs hang just on 2 screws. The rack supports 1 Mobo only. I suggested to go with a cheap shoerack instead. IMHO Works best: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KO3FTKY/ You can mount your GPUs with simple wood screws, nails, zip ties, steel wire, or plain rope, just anywhere on the rack. Rack above supports up to 3 mining rigs. If PSU is on the right, mobo in the center, you can fit about 5 GPUs per shelf. Plus, a Box fan is about the width of the center piece (between the feet), and still cools the top shelf. I have the 4 tier rack, but a 3 tier is more than enough.
