1) Message boards : Number crunching : RTX 2080 Ti vs GTX 1060 3GB (Message 6593) Posted 24 Apr 2020 by [AF>Amis des Lapins] Jean-Luc Post: Thank you very much for your honest answer ! Thank you for the detailed explanations. Like many other people, I don't necessarily want to have absolutely as many points as possible. There's also a kind of curiosity behind it that pushes me to make calculations for different projects, even if they don't bring in many points. And asteroids are very stimulating ! I ask this kind of question about remuneration rather to make sure that my equipment is used to 100% of its potential.

One 2080 is apparently 2 times faster than a 1060, and two of them are about 4 times faster. What did you expect ? If I take Project Collatz as an example : With one GPU NVidia GTX 1060 3GB : 1600 seconds for one task, 2,000,000 points per day. With one NVidia RTX 2080 Ti : 130 seconds for one task, 19,000,000 points per day. 19000000/2000000=9.5 and 1600/130=12.3 For Collatz project, the NVidia RTX 2080 Ti is about 10 times faster than the NVidia GTX 1060. So I'm very surprised that for Asteroids@home, it's only twice as fast ? But maybe it's the numbers for Collatz that are abnormal ! Indeed, the theoretical power of RTX 2080 Ti is 13.45 TFlops and that of GTX 1060 is 4.4 TFlops. 13.45/4.4=3. I really don't understand why there are such differences between BOINC projects ? But I'm not a computer professional !

I have a computer with two GPUs NVidia RTX 2080 Ti, OS Xubuntu. With one GPU NVidia GTX 1060 3GB : 35000 points per day. With two NVidia RTX 2080 Ti : 120000 points per day !!! With one GPU NVidia GTX 1060 3GB : 1300 seconds for one task. With one NVidia RTX 2080 Ti : 680 seconds for one task !!! What is the problem ? Linux ? Are 102.13 (cuda102_linux) exactly the same tasks as 102.00 (cuda55) ? If so, I don't think it's interesting for me to do GPU calculations for Asteroids@home with my two NVidia RTX 2080 Ti.
