So I was lurking around in the fah forums and saw a thread talking about a new core version of the Gromacs client for NV GPUs.
I read that it doesn't update automatically. The version released today is 1.15. I looked at my fahlog.txt files and found I was on version 1.09
To force the update, stop your GPU client, go to the working directory and rename or delete the existing FahCore_11.exe file.
When you next start the GPU client it will download a new copy of FahCore_11.exe and it will be the version 1.15.
It is too soon to be completely certain, but after ~30 frames, fahmon is reporting a PPD increase of 10% from each of my clents. :thumbsup: (GPU temperatures are not changed in any meaningful way)
GTX+ went from 6083 -> 6689 (same on each of two clients in different PCs.)
GTS (G92) went from 5083 -> 6010 (same on each of two clients in different PCs.)
GTS (NV80) went from 4400 -> 4937
