I have not made any configuration changes, and tasks are running. AMD Wattman shows the GPU is fully utilized and when I suspend the project, it's not. Any ideas why my host stats have bee dropping steadily since 1/16? https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/host/detail/337157625/charts It's an RX480! -mpyusko AMD FX-8350 @ 4.3GHz AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB @ 1342MHz/2000MHz |

Looks like you hadn't completed any work since then until recently |

I complete a WU about every 1 minutes and 47 seconds. It is not showing any errors on my end. -mpyusko AMD FX-8350 @ 4.3GHz AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB @ 1342MHz/2000MHz |

You have a portion of a CPU core free to help out with the GPU task? I try to always leave a core free for GPU tasks to make sure I get full use. Should be able to do 180k PPD with a RX 480 running 1x WU. May want to run 2 concurrent tasks also if you're not already. |

8 cores free. On this machine I only crunch with the GPU. I was averaging between 150 to 160k/day. -mpyusko AMD FX-8350 @ 4.3GHz AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB @ 1342MHz/2000MHz |

Yeah , not sure what to tell you to look for. Driver may have crashed and GPU not running properly. Try a reboot. Make sure Windows didn't install/update a driver to something else when it did an update. GPU settings. etc. Good luck and hope you get it figured out. |

My guess would be a database connection glitch or error that's putting your host into a 24 hour back-off. That would keep completed work from uploading and keep you from getting new work. I caught this happening on my host a couple days ago. Team USA forum | Team USA page Always crunching / Always recruiting |

I think I found the problem. Razer installed a mining program (to earn credits for Razer gear) on my machine. It's supposed to crunch with the GPU. I DISABLED it, but it still must've been affecting the GPU because my stats kept dropping until I UNINSTALLED it. My stats are climbing again! https://www.dropbox.com/s/kh0g95ktyslp4zd/Screenshot%202019-02-06%2011.10.35.png -mpyusko AMD FX-8350 @ 4.3GHz AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB @ 1342MHz/2000MHz |

It may run alongside it just fine at a project that uses less of your gpu but MilkyWay uses alot of the gpu when crunching their units. |
