I can't say you will get double the points but you should get more points. There is a time element to this that impacts the awarded points as well.
I edited the post above while you was posting this it seems so I'm going to post that paragraph here as well. If you are looking at the client to determine the estimated PPD that is also very unreliable. Check the points that are awarded after the WU is uploaded. It is often much higher than what the PPD estimate is in the client based on what I have seen.
Thanks for being patient with me while I try to learn all of this. On the checking the points that are awarded, how is this done?
Do you mean like this line:
04:34:09:WU01:FS01:Final credit estimate, 15500.00 points
Or on the site? Because the site appears to be updated once a day or so.
Yep that line you have is what I look at. I have a computer where the line shown in the log is consistently less that half what is shown in the client. They mismatch on the other computers as well but usually not as much. The point is the log will tell you what is actually happening.
Ahh, got you. This explains a lot. And magically the client just updated to show the true timing and increased the PPD to 72k...
I'm not getting how some people have 100k+ with their 7950's though.
You won't know what your average PPD is until you have run for several days at least after you get the card tuned. Remember when someone says they get 100K+ PPD that means points per day. Not points per WU. If you get a few work units that take a long time to complete you will end up with some work that was done but isn't awarded to the next day so-to-speak. You need a few days to a week to let it all average out.
Okay, thanks for clarifying things for me! This is completely different from mining; so much so that it's like re-learning everything from the beginning,
.
I'll give it a couple days now that I know what's actually going on and what to expect.
Glad to help. I'm new as well. I've only been folding since a few days after CureCoin launched. I finally got all the computers through a 24 hour period without any hung WU's so that was nice. Ended up having to lower the memory speed significantly on my GPU's. I had already been reducing the core clock speeds which made them more stable but I had to take the core clock speeds down too much to be "normal". After reducing the memory speed things got much more stable. Now it appears I may finally have them dialed in.
You are right. It really is starting from scratch but this is a much more worthy endeavor in my opinion.
