Hey all I just rebooted my pc and my frame rate went from 13s/frames
to 1h26m/frames.
Is this normal,will this speed up?

    Is it a different WU? Maybe the first one corrupted? I don't know much, I just wanted to say something.

    Someone smarter will be along shorter to solve your mystery.

    The estimated and actual times for work unit completion and for frames completion will vary depending on the work unit being processed and on the activity of your computer. On my laptop, just a simple screen saver running high resolution photographs will double the time for completing a frame. When I leave work in the evenings, I set the screen saver to run a very simple OpenGL screenie that uses very little system resources.

    I actually use EnditAll to end all unnecessary processes, and have no screen saver. I am back to the stone age when you had to actually shut your monitor off. Not sure how much it helps though.

    My monitor is set to shut off after 10 or 15 mins. mainly to save on a little electricity.

    During the day when I'm at work and at night, I turn off all the monitors at home to save on the electric bill. But I blew that savings as soon as I built this dual Presshot rig and started running it 24/7. :hair:

    ;D

    Yes she had a GREAT one. Maybe to great she had to spend the night, But all had fun.
    That reboot costed me 4 hrs.
    So now I always shut down at nite,But have been leaving it on 24/7
    This is something I don't know will it hurt the pc leaving it on 24/7
    I was understanding you need to shut down at lease once a day to keep
    it running smooth.

    Windows 95 and 98 were often that way, but that was six years ago. As long as your computer is fairly clean from dust and lent, continual running will not hurt it. There is an argument that the expansion-contraction cycle of hardware parts, due to the heating and cooling or the startup-shutdown cycles causes structural fatigue and actually will damage parts faster than continual running.
