Recent Work Unit Performance - GeForce MX450

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 MX450.

No work unit data recorded for the GeForce MX450 in the past 12 weeks.

Data is provided in legacy mode until new work units are folded using our web client.

Recent Work Unit Performance Clusters - GeForce MX450

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 MX450.

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

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.
