I have a new pc and want to find out what my preferences should be set to for optimum number crunching? The PC is: CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz [Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 9] Number of processors 8 Coprocessors NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (3072MB) driver: 388.13 OpenCL: 1.2 INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (6494MB) OpenCL: 2.1 Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Core x64 Edition, (10.00.16299.00) BOINC version 7.8.3 Memory 15.87 GB Cache 256 KB Swap space 18.75 GB Total disk space 111.19 GB Free Disk Space 65.9 GB Measured floating point speed 4.59 billion ops/sec Measured integer speed 18.28 billion ops/sec Average upload rate 64.03 KB/sec Average download rate 214.99 KB/sec Average turnaround time 0 days |

If you don't want to run the stock apps and wait for the scheduler to send you all possible apps to try, I would suggest installing the latest Lunatics Installer version 0.45 Beta-06 and manually configuring the AVX app for the cpu for both MB and AP tasks. And for the gpu I would suggest selecting the OpenCL AP app and the OpenCL SoG app for MB tasks. That way you get the highest performing apps immediately without going through all the lesser apps the installer will try out on your system before finally selecting what IT thinks is the best app. That often does not work correctly though it seems. Best to leave the choice up to you in your hands in my opinion. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |
