Is it just me or is everyone noticing their PPD average decreasing over the last few days ? I was consistently getting between 10K and 14K per day, then all of a sudden the PPD nose dive and that's despite me adding an extra GPU (lowly Quadro NVS 290) ... 06.20.09 - 5,068 06.19.09 - 4,756 06.18.09 - 9,714 06.17.09 - 9,894 06.16.09 - 11,801 06.15.09 - 10,354 06.14.09 - 10,655 06.13.09 - 14,853 Only change I made was to convert two PCs to Windows 7 ?

I Have been folding with a 295 and Windows 7 RC very disappointed with the PPD but you will also find that if you get the dreaded 511 pointers they drag your PPD down no end. Not sure if mthere are some optimisation issues for the clients in W7RC no Guru Like the eye candy element of W7RC but the performance is nowhere as good as XP Pro IMHO Things seem so much easier to set up in XP and its no where near as resource hungry.
Almost certainly the change in OS is the main source of your decreased production; almost everything involved, drivers, clients etc. have not been optimised for Window 7 yet. Although 511 point projects do score low, I have been getting a good mix of WUs over the past day.
Thats all ive had is the dreaded 511 pointers past few days its killing my ppd :-( i just thought I had major problems @1st
Most peoples PPD will go up and down depending on projects downloaded. If I get 511 projects on all my GPU's which happens a few times a week then FahMon drops 10k ppd! What does your daily average ppd as thats the one to go by day to day
511 pointers ... Hmm okay back to 10,250 yesterday so must have been a couple of days of only getting 511 point WU ... Just picked up a fully working dual core DELL Precision Workstation (£67) and a 9800GT (£60)for 24/7 folding so hopefully 15K PPD soon!
What I cant understand is that my fahmon say's I should be putting out at least 18k yet I look @my stats and its shows a crappy score of 13,952k . I thought I could have had the team no wrong on one of them but they all seem ok so I am @ loss to whats happening .Is fahmon wrong in the info thats it's showing
As has been Posted under a seperate thread Fahmon basis your PPD on the current work units you are processing it will vary greatly due to the different work units you fold. Dont panic
Stats lag, sometimes by more than 24 hours. You make a change on your machine, which Fahmon will react to quickly, but then the machine has to finish the unit, Stanford servers have to process the completed unit, which takes time because of the queue of returned results, then Stanford Stats only update every 3 hours, and EO stats only update from the Stanford Stats every 3 hours. There are probably other processes going on. Don't panic.
No wonder I had some low points bloody peer guardian was blocking some of my units one had 7 waiting 2 upload maybey i should have taken more notice .....
