Rough payout for EVGA bucks folding?

[Keudn]

I have an old Pentium 4 3.0GHz rig sitting around and I am wondering how many EVGA bucks per month I could make with this. I doubt it is very many but it might be worth trying.

 

I also have a Core 2 Duo T7200 rig, would that make a noticeable amount more?

Youll probs spend more on electricity costs than earning from the fold.

[Juanse]

You'll probably spend more in electricity

Lets say I don't have to pay for electricity, are we talking about EVGA cents per month?

If you go to the promo part of their site for folding it says it here... (EVGA Folding Link)

Okay, but I have no idea how many points my extra rig will pull, I haven't done folding before

Unfortunately, you are NOT getting the required points for the promo. You need either GPUs or newer CPUs in order to have any chance at reaching the milestones needed.

 

 

Which isn't to say that you shouldn't use the hardware for distributed computing, it's just that you are not getting EVGA bucks out of it.

With the way folding and mining are progressing I'm guessing you need a fairly beefy CPU/GPU to reach those milestones huh

Why doesn't Linus do this with the F@H team, Linus bucks

 

And when you get enough you get to pick an old piece of "crap" from the warehouse to take home. (if you know what I mean)

Not really. Getting, say, a Gtx 970 would yeld you around 300~350k ppd. 5 days and you'd reach the maximum quote already. You could do with much lower end GPUs and still confortably get your 10 bucks every month. CPUs are much slower, though, so you'd need a beefy processor running for long periods of time. Unlike GPUs, low end CPUs (like yours) are not going to cut it.

So if I wanted to reach the monthly goal I should just let my SLI 770s run for a few days each month instead of find a GPU that will work in those PCs

Exactly. If running straight, I'd expect a 770 SLI to get to the 1.5M points mark in 1 week. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less, not sure.

Alright, I usually find it hard to leave my computer running all the time because my room becomes a sauna but I probably can work a schedule that will get 1.5M points

If I could get two server computers both with quad core Xeons running at 2.3GHz and 2.0GHz would I make the quota?

I just started running my Xeon at 4GHz with the EVGA Bucks.

Not sure. Running at such low speed is going to be really slow. The majority of the points in F@H come from the QRB, so even if you are running A LOT of tasks at once, it`s not going to generate much if they take long to finish.

My WU's on f@h take about 3 hours on my xeon so I think his will be about 4.5 to 5 hours for one WU
