I'm old timer and I don't accept millions of credits for nothing.
Long run bonus - ok;
special hardware bonus - ok;
High error rate bonus - ok;
Linux vs Windows bonus - ok;
Short term bonus - ok;
We made mistake and credits are high this batch - ok;

But hundrets/thousand time more credits for nothing - not ok.

I think He connects it to other projects, like Einstein@home, where similar GPU can do ~ 6-7 times less credits a day.
I personally started similar topic on Minecraft, where 1 thread of 4600h CPU can produce ~ 800k daily - far from fair to other projects.
We all know that different projects have different approach to credits, but still - there should be borders.
BU was ok as GPU produced fair amount of credits - only ASICs where many times faster. It just exploded statistics :)

Not sure why inaction is the only current decision. Maybe they are not concerned because those bad results don't ever corrupt the science.


But it corrupts our society.
BTW - is there any thread regarding credits given here on GPUGrid? They look insane high comparing to other projects (like Collatz years ago).

May somebody give advice how is it possible that host no2 on top list compute ATMML WU under 500sec?
Additionally it's GPU is listed as 1660S

There is nice OC tool on Linux - GreenWithEnvy. Not powerful like MSI Afterburner on Windows, but still usable. And it has Windows look like apperance.

Try other Boinc Manager. Maybe Your version has some problems.
Personally I use 7.12.1 without any issues.

I have checked that scirpt - it works good for 1 GPU 1080Ti (sorry don't have more to check).

Back to topic.
Is Linux GPU work still not available? I ask because I have changed my system to Linux and it stopped to download any GPU WU (PG is fine).

I had problems with TV as it fought I use it for commercial use. So I have switched to DWService - free to use and access is from any web browser. Win, Linux agents available.

Last time I have changed MOBO and CPU + RAM + system and have installed newest drivers for 1060 3GB. As far as I may observe (different CPU and system) times are equal to drivers version 382,53.
At least here and in PG sieve.

Post:
Obviously more powerful CPU and weaker GPU: SWAN_SYNC gives less.
But in my case...
Few days ago I tried trick and my run times decresed from ~ 20k to ~17,5k seconds (yes I'm aware of different WUs - that's average).
GPU is OC 1080Ti, but CPU is old XEON 1230V2 - 2 WU at once.

I use laptops for crunching for years and only problem I had was damaged fan (1 bearing was noisy).
Ola - I didn't find information if You use cooling pad. If You don't use it - start.
Now I have 1 laptop that crunch with CPU only so it's only raised a 2cm over desk.
Other laptop crunch with CPU and GPU (only 1 heatpipe and 1 fan): it has https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/arctic-nc.html that cooler under.
Additionaly in MSI afterburner I reduced "power limit" as much as it was possible. That keeps GPU at lower frequency and voltage.

Short WU errored after 80sek at 750Ti.

Post:
How about credits? How are they calculated per WU? For now it's 1500 per WU but on XEON 1230V2 + 7950@1100 it gives ~ 160000 daily? Sounds little disappointing cause it takes 8 threads of CPU. Do You plan any adjustment in future or is it final?
