New to folding, just joined the team :)

[Bretticus]

Hi, I'm new to folding and I just joined the team, I have an i7-3770k @ 4.5GHz and a GTX 580 a 881MHz and my current ppd is 23500, I was just wondering if this number is a little low since I'm fairly new .

Welcome to the team ^_^

firstly, welcome to the team.
secondly, it all depends on the actual work units, the rig in my sig fluctuates between estimates of 30k and 60k ppd (if i left it on 24hrs a day it would anyways) somedays, so i'd say its not far off

welcome to the team

Welcome to the team. The 3770k with the 580 should produce at least 35K.

Welcome to the team
The PPD that you are seeing now is around the same that I get with my 3770k at the same clocks as yours. Mereckons you're just experiencing some bad Work Units - it happens an awful lot.
Also, welcome to the forums - glad to have you here.

Even with bad WU's I still produce around 35k PPD. With the awesome WU's my PPD increases to around 45 - 50k PPD.

You need to fold 10 WU's to get the bonus points though, so that might be why your PPD seems so low. What PPD is the 580 getting on its own?

How am I able to check what my CPU and GPU make separately?

Are you using the v7 client? Just click a slot and it will tell you the individual PPD on the right.

My GPU is making around 20500 PPD however my CPU is only making around 4000, how am I able to fix this?

You just keep folding; Once you get 10 WU's complete with your CPU - then you'll start getting bonus points which will get that number up to around 20-25K on average (sometimes way more if you get lucky)

 

[JohnnyHundo]

Oh yeah - the bonus points are more, the quicker you get the WU's done; And if you for some reason don't complete a WU in the time period allotted you stop getting bonus points for a while.

Basically - if you are folding 24x7x365 you'll get the most bonus points; if you are gaming a lot on your rig, or shutdown for 12 hours a day - you won't get many;

I've managed to fix my problem by completely uninstalling and reinstalling the client, now I am able to make well over 33000 PPD without the bonus from completing 10 WUs

coolio bretticus,
i know my average ppd is quoted on the cpu is 33k ppd and the gpu is 20k, but seeing how i don't fold all day i only actually achieve 50-75% of that, but its all points towards the team
