Join Neowin Folding@Home Group


Recommended Posts

I'll definitely join when I get back to college since I would love to leech electricity and leave my laptop on 24/7 for Folding@Home. :shiftyninja:

If you're lugging your desktop rig to college, sure.

If it's your laptop, please reconsider. Especially if your laptop has an onboard Nvidia GPU. :shiftyninja:

Something is wrong with the client on my iMac and it's getting annoying. It will only do a unit to about 5-10% then it starts a new one so I never get any credit for them. This just started happening over the last few days. When i ran it a couple months ago I never had any problems.

Is it just me, or do they update the stats all the time.. "We expect this to take about 45 minutes. "

If they update every hour, and it takes 45 minutes to update... then you have a 15 minute random window to check your status... kinda sucks...

Here.

3rd party site for stats.. Much better also.. more info.

yea it is always this way 45 min every time

and THX for the link

i don't think he'd get quite that much...

my thought was an estimate at best who much he will bring

280 GTX will bring about ~7k gpu client

Q9450 will bring about 1.5k ~ 1.9k smp client

i am not sure cause neither of those parts i own , what i said was an estimate what number peoples pulling

my geforce 88GTS can pull about ~4.5k

my [email protected] can pull 1.5~2k

usually i leave the gpu client i am not leaving smp on most of the time due for being that my main rig

I forgot to mention that once I get everything up and running, I would like to overclock the Q9450 to at least the 3.2ghz-3.6ghz range and overclock the GTX 280 as well.

for a reminder what i told you just an estimations

best way using fahmon once your rig are up and running

it will till you who much PPD you are pulling from each client in your pc , after configuing the app of course

Just FYI I am getting 10635.59 PPD on 2x 9800 GTX cards.

I won't even list the 8 computers it's running on, as they collectively are only putting out like 2500 PPD, and some of them are dual and quad core 2's...

Also BTW, new drivers and some free stuff if you guys didn't see this already.. Physx and Cuda support.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.
    • "performance issues? what performance issues?!"
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
