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: -286,516 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.

24 HOUR WU ALLOCATION

Research	Percent
PLANT LIPID BIOSYNTHESIS MUTANTS	100%

7 DAY WU ALLOCATION

Research	Percent
CANCER	70%
PEPTIDOMIMETIC CD40L BINDING	27.5%
PLANT LIPID BIOSYNTHESIS MUTANTS	2.5%

12 WEEK WU ALLOCATION

Research	Percent
CANCER	60.58%
ENZYME DYNAMICS	18.27%
PEPTIDOMIMETIC CD40L BINDING	15.38%
ALZHEIMERS	4.81%

Recent Work Unit Performance Clusters - GeForce GTX 1660

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 GTX 1660.

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 GTX 1660 kWh POWER CONSUMPTION & COST

Power consumption information for the GeForce GTX 1660 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 GTX 1660 using community samples collected through the LAR.SYSTEMS V8 Web Client.
