Folding@home Quick Install Guide - How to Start Folding

[WYP]

Setting the GPU to performance instead of quality doesn't change anything in terms of utilisation.
Setting it to OC Mode in ASUS' software is also not doing anything
//EDIT: LOL, ASUS' software is reporting 94-98% utilisation, while Task-Manager still says 20-22%!

Task manager isn't a great way at looking at GPU utilisation. You are best looking at something like GPU-Z.

As nice as it is for Windows 10 to feature a GPU utilisation feature in the task manager, it is only good when something is rendering in 3D.

Anyway to schedule the client to work only between 00h30 - 6h30 am ? Electric is cheaper at nightime here in France

The "Finish up, then stop" feature is not really working, is it? Mine just keeps folding...

I don't think there's a way to schedule it like that. You can probably use Windows Task Scheduler to run the process on your schedule though. But I've never tried it.

Finish means it will try to finish the current work unit. After that, it will pause work until you resume.

Nope, it starts folding the next WU as if I never clicked anything.

It has done the same to me, can confirm.

It also doesn't matter if the CPU or GPU finishes. I was hoping that the GPU pauses after it finishes, until the CPU is done as well, but both keep on working.


How long is the client released already? 2-3 years or even longer?:huh:

//EDIT: Whoooops, gotta roll back on that one! My CPU just paused after finishing its current WU. I think this might have to do with the web control going to sleep after some time, if you don't move your mouse over the browser tab for some time...
The GPU just finished, but continues.
So CPU pauses, but GPU continues.

This eliminates the whole purpose of the feature, imho:huh:



//EDIT²: WTF, my CPU just started on its own again after the GPU started What the hell is going on there...

Weird, I use Finish all the time and it always stops after completing a WU.

Are you using the web control or the Advanced control in the system tray?

Web Control, but I'll try the tray one and edit.


//EDIT: Advanced Control from Tray works!
