I have a Raspberry Pi to replace my stolen one that may show up sometime in the next two weeks: watch out world!

You’ll probably pass me quickly....I’ve got two PCs running but they don’t seem to be cranking out any decent numbers. Nothing super fast, but both the GTX 1060 and 980 barely run anything.....GPUs just sit there ‘ready’.

If a Raspberry Pi can beat your two PCs, ARM is really ready to take over the world.
As if it hadn’t already.

If a properly configured Raspberry Pi can beat your two PCs....
Like a Miata passing a Mustang at the track....

I tossed in another GPU last night, so now I’m running a 670 in addition to the 1080. Wiring it up proved to be a challenge because the PO included a cable that looked like a Molex-PCIe adapter but wasn’t. Configured F@H to see it. And what are my rewards for adding this extra card, despite multiple restarts? Not a single GPU job. Argh.

Just add another 1059 of those little buggers and you might be on to something!
The next question is whether or not a cluster like that is more or less powerful than a modern GPU...

Try rebooting a few times, it seems to help some.

I miss the good old days when the question to any answer was: can you build a Beowulf cluster out of it?

Well, maybe not yet... You’ve tried rebooting, et cetera, right?

Yeah, I’ve done the usual reboots and restarts. I’ll head downstairs and try it again. On the bright side, dedicating the machine to folding keeps me from frittering away t he day playing games...

I’ve just come downstairs and noticed that the system does have one GPU job at the moment. Because of an issue with the x16 slot on my motherboard only running at x4 speeds, I moved the 1080 to a x8 slot. The 670 went into the slower x16 slot, but it’s now being treated as the primary display and thus it got the job and not the 1080, so I’m now using more power to do less work :/

Everything’s now running. And there’s a lot of heat being pumped out right now.

So do you have the faster card in the faster slot now?

There’s theory and there’s reality. The x16 slot only runs at x4 for some reason but the x8 slot actually runs at x8, so that where the 1080 is installed. The x16 slot is seen as the primary, so that’s the first one that F@H uses even though the better card is in the secondary, theoretically slower, slot.
Are you confused yet? I know I am...
