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: 852,451 to 25,143,986 PPD
Net change over 12 weeks: -5,433,362 PPDTrend down
Latest weekly average: 852,451 PPD

12 WEEK AVG PPD CHANGE VS. WORK UNITS AVAILABLE - GeForce GTX 1660

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 GTX 1660

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.

The following shows the work unit allocation of research causes to better understand changes in PPD over time for the GeForce GTX 1660.

Research	Percent
PEPTIDOMIMETIC CD40L BINDING	53.61%
ENZYME DYNAMICS	23.71%
PLANT LIPID BIOSYNTHESIS MUTANTS	22.68%

7 DAY WU ALLOCATION

Research	Percent
PEPTIDOMIMETIC CD40L BINDING	46.88%
ENZYME DYNAMICS	28.82%
PLANT LIPID BIOSYNTHESIS MUTANTS	24.31%

12 WEEK WU ALLOCATION

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 GTX 1660 using community samples collected through the LAR.SYSTEMS V8 Web Client.
