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: 779,059 to 15,058,942 PPD
Net change over 12 weeks: +1,263,396 PPDTrend up
Latest weekly average: 4,717,933 PPD

12 WEEK AVG PPD CHANGE VS. WORK UNITS AVAILABLE - Radeon RX 6800(XT)/6900XT

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 - Radeon RX 6800(XT)/6900XT

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.

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 Radeon RX 6800(XT)/6900XT using community samples collected through the LAR.SYSTEMS V8 Web Client.
