How to read this

Values use the same weekly community averages as the detailed chart.

Weekly movement can reflect project mix, available work units, drivers, or operating systems rather than a lasting hardware change.
Use the detailed chart to compare operating systems and work-unit availability across the full period.

12-week range: 21,509,329 to 44,054,242 PPD
Net change over 12 weeks: +114,919 PPDTrend up
Latest weekly average: 23,651,190 PPD

12 WEEK AVG PPD CHANGE VS. WORK UNITS AVAILABLE - GeForce RTX 5080

GPU PPD average changes week to week for a number of reasons such as credit for type of projects/causes available, variance in work unit difficulty, OS/GPU drivers, folding cores, GPU models, clocks, power targets etc.

The chart below serves as a way to see historical week to week performance change as PPD for a GPU is never a constant, as the work units processed are always changing.

Recent Work Unit Performance - GeForce RTX 5080

Average PPD is impacted by the types of research work units being done as they return different amounts of points and take different amounts of time.

Recent Work Unit Performance Clusters - GeForce RTX 5080

The following visualization illustrates the PPD / Credit allocation of work units across different research causes, providing insight into how PPD varies by work unit PPD samples for the GeForce RTX 5080.

This analysis helps better understand the relationship between research causes and PPD/Credit, highlighting any performance trends as clusters or anomalies as outliers.

Power and cost planning

GeForce RTX 5080 kWh POWER CONSUMPTION & COST

Power consumption information for the GeForce RTX 5080 is based on an average wattage taken from vendor information for the lowest and highest power draws for the GPU under Folding@Home compute loads.

Wattage information is only for the GPU and does not include the host computer's power usage.

Reading the averages

Why your PPD may differ

PPD is a guide, not a fixed result. Daily output changes with the work-unit mix, including project, points, atom count, and deadline, as well as system conditions such as OS, drivers, clocks, thermals, and power limits.

Compare the five highest and lowest sampled project averages for GeForce RTX 5080 using community samples collected through the LAR.SYSTEMS V8 Web Client.
