Thanks! Looking at the log file, as I guessed earlier, you can see the following: - Given that you have a rather low-end GPU and a fairly fast workstation CPU the run is *very* GPU-bound: the CPU spends 16.4 + 54.2 = 70.6% waiting for the GPU (see lines 628 and 630) - this means that the default

Your run is probably GPU-bound because you have a rather slow GPU and as per new mdrun defaults both PME and nonbondeds are offloaded which may not be ideal for your case. Try the different offload modes to see which one is best on your hardware. Additionally, you still have not provided the *mdru
