Sethdude’s cheat-sheet for big-time folding on Nvidia GPU cards:

Advanced WUs (bigger PPD per WU):
- open F@H Control Client
- Select "configure"
-select "slots" tab.
- select GPU slot and click "edit"
- under "Name:", type "client-type"
- under "Value:", type "advanced"

You are now set to fold advanced WUs.

The most current Nvidia drivers absolutely cripple your ability to fold. I highly recommend you roll your drivers back to v327.23, available under "older drivers" on Nvidia’s website. This alone will at least quadruple your output. You can always switch back to the updated driver for gaming in less than 2 minutes of either side of a gaming session, but your PPD/watt will be much, much better.

We had a power outage at work so I did no folding all weekend. Got it back up and running, hammering out my usual 2000pts/day, give or take

Holy crap- I just broke 200,000 points in a day, with time still on the clock. I want more of these WUs!

Give it at least 24 hours for the servers to start sending the proper WUs. It seems to take a little time between setting it up and the servers adjusting to it.

We are advancing slower, despite putting up great numbers, but we are going to keep moving up. Top 1100 on the horizon.

I haven’t been completing WUs lately, got it going again so hopefully I start to get a few done.

Edit: It says I’ll be getting 6k ppd, which is about 3x what I was doing. Bumped it to medium, not sure how it went up that much though!

only way to go is up. but hoff has a point and it’s worth repeating. at the 1K mark, big wins are few & far between.
