Howdy y'all. I am always running Folding@Home, and since Guru3D doesn't have a F@H team, I got to thinking about whether it would work ok if I were to run both UD an F@H on the same machine...AMD that is. I know that both these programs are very similar in that they use whatever CPU cycles you aren't using, but what would be the outcome of both of them doing so? I have looked for info over at Grid.org, yet I couldn't find the information I was looking for. Maybe I missed it, I don't know, but could anyone tell me what I could expect by running both on the same AMD system? If one needed priority over the other, I know I could run F@H at a lower percentage of CPU cycles, but would this be feasible? Let me know, thanks.
Enter the extra late reply... If both are set to run at the same priority, then each should use 50% of the CPU. Also, if you set one to higher priority than the other, then I think that only one will do anything, although I'm not positive on that.
yup, this is another very late reply I have just tried it out, setting one to a higher priority stops the other in its tracks the other will generaly get 1-2% CPU time the other higher priority will get the rest.
