Hello, i am a littlebit angry !

Because of this.

My power consumption on the GTX 670 is very higher than
on my GT 640. And what do i see, getting only 675 Points
on crunshing current Betas. The joke is i am getting
4500 !!! points when i am crushing with my low power
GT 640. Is that fair ?

Greets :)

Hi Rantaplan,

There are two different systems running now on beta queue. The first one is quite large -complex protein and ligand- (4500 credits) whereas the second type is much smaller and contains only the ligand (670). What probably happened to you is that by random choice you got all the systems type 2 with your GTX670, and the systems type 1 with your GT640.
Just keep crushing and at some point you'll get 4500 with the GTX670 and the other way around!

Noelia.

And to be fair: the larger WUs also run longer, so more credits are certainly justified. They may not be perfectly balanced yet, but they're still beta.
