Update: AQUA vs AndrOINC credits on 32bit & 64bit rigs

[DrPop]

OK...have finished a few weeks worth of averaging, and these numbers might not hold true for everyone, but here's what I got.

On 32bit Windows OS, AQUA actually beats out AndrOINC by roughly 35%.

On a 64bit Windows OS, AndrOINC beats AQUA by about 16%.

We all know there is a points loss when running AQUA on a 32bit rig vs a 64bit rig, but there is a much LARGER penalty for running AndrOINC on a 32bit rig. These findings could be with my machines only, but I tested both Intel and AMD CPUs on this, and I'm sure it has something to do with each project's code.

So, bottom line for my rigs, at least - AQUA is still the most points per day on 32bit OS. AndrOINC is the new reigning king for 64bit Windows OS.

Hope this info helps some of you on the fence, wanting most points per day.

Thanks DrPop I'm not one to get into that much detail so I'm glad you did the work for me. Switched my main Quad just now. Go team!

[Mike029]

Great work. Thnak you.

Which Aqua WUs were you running, or was it a mix? Because I've heard that there are stark differences in credits among WUs...

[Zytozux]

any chance you can test primegrid's PPS sieve as well? It's gotta be a contender

That's a good question - I don't know how to run any fancy opti-apps or anything on either of these projects, so this is simply a mix of whatever WUs the projects randomly sent me over about a 3 week period.

Basically, my results would be for whoever just simply "attached" to the project with no further tweaking...

Nothing optimized, just picking the subproject from your Preferences on their site. I've heard there is some wonkiness with the ROQS WUs, which is why I was asking.

Ha ha ha ha ha......you said wonkiness.

I think this is only true for windows..... the linux credits in AndrOINC were the suck last time I tried it... not even close to AQUA.

I had the same experience. I wonder if there's been any change since then.
