Very nice I've had my 2400g/2600/gtx1080 folding off and on every day.

Superb! I'm running it on 3x computers at home now!
I am also running Rosetta@Home, they have lots of COVID-19 tasks too! More available than F@H

i've been folding@home since before the novel coronavirus, but i switched my folding from cancer to Covid-19. i'm very grateful to all gurus who've joined the effort.

Well, I tried this, but due sudden black screen/ ctd issues had to stop it. I have radeon7.
This program for some reason preffered CPU use, than rad, so it was killing my game experience (while one or two times on gpu was fine, well, until sudden freez).
Maybe that was my software combination too, I use iCUE from corsair, but until folding all was good, so, I had to remove it. Sorry

Adding my 3600 @ 4.2Ghz locked and my 2Ghz 1070 to the mix

Internet is too crappy or I would have joined, also, my machine is a potato, meh.
Great job everybody. 🙂

Does this only occur on GPU? It's not using my CPU?

And here's the error log...
I'm getting this...

That just means there is nothing being asked of your computer as there is no work ie no Work Unit's. I know they are trying hard to make use of all the extra compute but so many have stepped up there is a surplus of compute power. So this is a good thing.

Nothing like crisis to bring more into the folding *pun* intended, I let my GPU fold for about 6~8 hours day. not a much as some people folding with 32 core cpu and titan gpus

This is driving me crazy. I want to fold.....but my GPU gets too hot.... Next card will definitely not use a reference cooler.....

Awesome news! It's great to hear the first protein to help fight this Covid-19 Flu Virus has been found. I'd like to buy toilet paper again! ( J/K trying to lighten the mood!) Most importantly, I would like people to get through this first and foremost! It's been a long time since I posted and have been running Folding @ Home since Hilbert posted! It's good to see this 2950x and 2080 Ti cranking out these numbers! This thing is flying through these workloads. Thanks for the heads up!
We just surpassed the worlds most powerful super computer by two times!? We just made history here!

Stanford appears to be lacking sufficient bandwidth to handle all of the people that have joined F@H the last couple weeks. Apparently Linus from LTT has offered to give Stanford a hand.... Skip ahead to about 8:20 in the video.....

I was wondering why the queue was empty at times... great problem for them to have lol.
Regarding Linus' heat during that demo, while my computer is not chewing through 1000 watts, it does throw some heat. I have it set up in the basement, with wires coming up through the floor into the living room. It keeps the basement warm by itself... not like 80° or anything, but cozy enough for my mom to quilt down there with no other heating (while it's in the 30s outside).
