Have you taken AMD in consideration? 3800X + a X570 board easily fits your budget l.
 
definitely grab a SSD like @TheGlenlivet mentioned

40 mins in, 4 whiskys in, maybe I should hold off on any more till I'm done...

Well guys, the draws have been done, conducted by @palespartan... I guess it's time to start writing the last blog post of folding month 2019! Damn has it been a ride this year. 

Mines like 150% power target, well, not anymore, but was.

You need to grab a couple 980tis!
 
Running 230 watts on mine lol

You need more computers then 

This just breaks my brain ... every. time.

Published by famed GTA creators Rockstar games, the PC version came out yesterday. The game is set at the end of the 19th century and is a prequel to Red Dead Redemption.
 
At least on Ultra settings the game is extremely punishing on current generation GPUs. Admittedly it looks gorgeous, the question is does it looks so good as to justify these performance numbers. We  are used to thinking about the GTX 1060 and RX 570 as 1080p 60fps ultra GPUs. Well not in this title.
 
Both AMD (19.11.1) and Nvidia (441.12) had game ready drivers released on monday which were used for this test.
 

 

 

 
High fps gaming is out of the question at least on ultra settings with current gen GPUs. Await more numbers using more modest settings. Many modern games produce much better framerates on high (rather than ultra) settings with almost no noticable visual downgrades- hopefully that's the case here too. The game supports both DX12 and Vulkan with equivalent framerates, CPU usage is slightly more optimized on vulkan but should not make a difference for most users unless you have an older CPU. For the purpose of the above benchmarking DirectX 12 was used.

Update - 6/11/2019
Guru3d has posted their recommended settings in order to optimize performance with minimal visual loss. Most settings changed to high, texture quality maintained at Ultra, graphics API changed to Vulkan.
 

 

 

 

 
**********
Update - 10/11/2019 - turn on async compute for Vulkan
 
Some users including hardware unboxed had noticed some hitching/stuttering under vulkan. It seems like Rockstar had forgotten to turn async compute on. It needs to be manually enabled in the config files and makes the frametimes smoother. This should help for GCN, RDNA and possibly even Turing.
 
open the below file
Documents\Rockstar games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings\system.xml
look for the below line
<asynComputeEnabled value "false"  />
Change it to true and save
 
 

added now, accidentally posted before it was ready a min ago.

The ranks were added on the second day of the event once we had an idea of how many signed up.

Yeah the ranks have been there from the beginning 

We're only ahead of [H]ARDOCP by 12m, so if 9 people around your position hadn't folded, we wouldn't have beat them - everything helps!

Well, I'll elaborate a bit. So, when you install an Intel stock cooler, each corner of the cooler has this thing called a "push pin" or whatever. Prior to installing the cooler, you lift up the pins and then once the cooler's on the board, you just press down on each pin and then slightly tighten each pin.

I'm hoping to post the final ranks and the prize winners sometime in the next 8-12 hours 

Well that's the CPU Folding stopped and all cards power limited, 20-25% less power for 10% less clocks. Sounds fair to me

V100 at home? Damn those fuckers are expensive 

$175-225 as it isn’t a complete system 

I've tried FAHClient --send-pause, and then FAHClient --send-unpause

Tho guys, in next update (in exactly 2 hours and 52 minutes from the moment of posting this), we will be rank 8 as we are gonna pass [H]ardOCP in around 2 hours. So congratulations everyone!

Yeah that's fine, or should stop once it's done the WU 

Heck No - Now I can tear apart the rigs and re-arrange them. New gaming PC for youngest kidlet and new rig to build for me:

Top 25! Google might have had a slight influence on the last week though.
