can someone please tell me the runtime of a gamma ray pulsar search WU on a RTX 3080 Ti with 50% TDP?
impossible to answer this. You’d have to try it for yourself and find out.
part of the issue is not having enough information. Part of the issue is the number of variables that exist in how your run your system.
different models of 3080Ti ship with different stock TDP. EVGA XC3 models ship with a 350W TDP. EVGA FTW3 models ship with a 400W TDP, etc. so what actual TDP value “50%” represents can vary quite a bit, and hence resultant performance will vary. Additionally I don’t think most people are running as such a strict power limit. I run mine at 300W (85% for my card) and I feel that it’s a good balance in performance and power draw.
another variable is how you set up your client in BOINC. If you tell BOINC to run 1 task at a time (default) then the effective speed will be a little less than say if you run 3x tasks at a time (only applicable to LAT3000 series tasks that we are currently crunching, 4000 series do better 1 at a time for Nvidia).
another variable will be the CPU speed. While it really only contributes a small bit to the overall speed, it can still sway the run times by a few percent. A fast processor will finish Gamma Ray GPU tasks faster than the same GPU on a slower Processor.
For what it is worth it looks like a Founders Edition of the Rtx 3080 ti uses significantly less power to do the same processing of gamma ray tasks as the Evga Rtx 3080 ti.
It also has a 50 watt lower power cap than the Evga GPU.
The question is how much production do I loose if I cap the power at 300 watts.
I want more than an 18 hour baseline before I try that out.

discover that E@H had you on near 24 hour back off because of some computation errors.
click on reset the project in the Boinc client after setting no new tasks.
Confirm the project folder for E@H was cleared except for the app_config.xml file.
Enable tasks.
If project doesn't do an update after downloading the initiation sequence files hit a manual update.

What is not clear is if I had done a project reset first would that have cleared the processing slowdown without the NVIDIA uninstall/clearing process?

Did everyone's NVIDIA processing slow to nearly 50% of normal production?

That sounds like a backup boinc folder ànd reinstall the operating system fix then.
Tomorrow maybe morning, maybe after work.

Either a full uninstall with global cleaning Or a project reset seems to have cleared the processing speed issue of the gpus.

I sure hope all that was alot easier than it sounds!!!

It was. In Linux there are things you can do using the command line in a terminal session that "clean out" everything that is "nvidia" related. eg.
sudo apt-get remove *nvidia*
restart system then
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-495
restart system then
