[13:08:16] <Runaway1956> Ouch. Production is diving. I have either a power or a temperature problem with the main machine.
[13:08:32] <Runaway1956> My folding ain't gonna be what it has been . . .
[13:09:10] <chromas> I should try folding when I get the new box up
[13:09:13] <Runaway1956> It may be time for a new machine, can't even remember what year we bought that machine.
[13:09:17] <chromas> amd gpu though, so it may not work so well
[13:09:28] <chromas> do it
[13:09:55] <Runaway1956> AMD makes some good GPUs - though I've not kept up with which are good, and which are not so good
[13:10:16] <Runaway1956> their numbering and naming conventions are more confusing than Nvidia
[13:11:44] <chromas> Right now they're on 6000 series and 7000 is about to cum
[13:11:48] <chromas> (out)
[13:12:15] <chromas> 6900 was the best. I assumed 6950 was better but the one I saw was a bit cheaper than the 6900 so maybe not
[13:12:28] <Runaway1956> I'm thinking that maybe I should get a new machine for the wife - she drives that main machine all the time, I seldom get on it.
[13:12:41] <chromas> They're only just now starting to catch up to nvidia again
[13:13:30] <chromas> They appear about caught up with the 7000s as long as you're not interested in real-time raytracing
[13:13:54] <chromas> For non-graphical computations, I haven't seen how they compare
[13:13:54] <Runaway1956> One problem with a new machine will be deciding what OS to put on it - she is likely to insist on re-installing Win7
[13:14:16] <chromas> If you go with 10 or 11, there's open shell and some other stuff to fix the start menu
[13:17:05] <Runaway1956> https://forum.foldingathome.org
[13:17:45] <Runaway1956> somewhere there is a page that shows how all the GPUs compare, strictly based on production, no indication of power consumption or anything
[13:19:51] <chromas> I guess nobody's tried any of the newer cards
[13:20:06] <chromas> I see an RX 6000, which I've never heard of
[13:20:39] <chromas> PPD half-way between the nvidia 3070 and 3080
[13:22:34] <Runaway1956> this post is 3 years old - - https://foldingforum.org
[13:23:02] <Runaway1956> Something halfway between a 3070 and 3080 will blow me out of the water, lol
[13:23:16] <chromas> spreadsheet hasn't been updated in a couple years either
[13:23:51] <Runaway1956> The sun is up - I suppose I should carry my arse out the door soon
[13:26:09] * Bytram looks at his main computer ( Dell Latitude E6410 that he bought at Goodwill years ago for $25
[13:26:27] * Bytram looks at his main computer (Dell Latitude E6410) that he bought at Goodwill years ago for $25
[13:26:47] <Bytram> pardon the typo!
[13:27:11] <Runaway1956> You could try it Bytram - it may produce 100,000 ppd
[13:27:24] <Runaway1956> or even 50,000
[13:27:54] <Runaway1956> Monitor it for heat problems, remove FAH if you discover problems
[13:28:31] <chromas> It's a laptop so it'll probably fly out the window when the fan spins up
[13:29:06] <Bytram> yup, also
[13:29:56] <Bytram> I use my cell phone to get online
[13:37:20] <Bytram> I max out at about 25 GB per month, so I would be really limited :(
[14:18:54] <Runaway1956> Oh, you won't use much bandwidth for FAH
[14:19:26] <Runaway1956> the largest work units I ever get are ~25 mb to download, typically somewhat smaller to upload
[14:19:38] <Runaway1956> Those are the very biggest
[14:20:11] <Runaway1956> Unless you have a honking powerful GPU in that laptop, you won't be pulling in work units that large
[14:21:05] <Runaway1956> Most likely, you would pull in a 5 mb work unit, spend two days crunching it, then upload about 5 mb
[14:21:41] <Runaway1956> The only way to know for sure what your laptop would do, is to try it out!
