The 6700k is only ~10-15% stronger than the 4770k, and yet it receives 10x more credit on YAFU only. Any idea what the problem could be here? ID: 1024 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The project uses the standard Boinc out of the box "creditNew" credit system because YAFU is a test project to test newest Boinc server versions. This "creditNew" needs some time to adjust.

The original code name was "we hate you so we're going to make your life miserable" but since that was too long, David changed it to "creditnew". ;-) ID: 1113 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
