I have found a new Project to use my Vega 56 on...Prime Grid GFN-16 tasks as they literally ZOOM thru them in about 9 to 11 SECONDS for each task and yes they are validating!! For comparison my 3060 is doing them in 1 min 13 seconds each!!

After the end of the Prime Grid TDP challenge this month I will bring it back to either Einstein or SRBase to do tasks, although I'm guessing it may scream thru the Milky Way and Moo tasks as well. I may even try Amicable Numbers as well just to see what happens. The ratio is FP64 = 1/16 FP32 so it's alot better than a 3060Ti which is at FP64 = 1/64 FP32.

mikey, I took a look through your tasks. and you've actually come to the wrong conclusion here.

all of your tasks that run for 10-20 seconds are "proof" tasks. you are only validating that a previously found prime is real. these are very short, and get a tiny amount of credit. your 3060 is doing the proof tasks in like 3 seconds.

if you look at your non-proof tasks, or "main" tasks. you can see that your Vega is actually running about half the speed of your 3060. so the Vega isn't better than the 3060 here either. your Vega is taking about 2.5 minutes on main tasks.

Details Details I hate details sometimes!! Yes of course you are correct and I jumped to conclusions AGAIN!! Thanks for setting things straight!!
