About the Pentathlon
The Pentathlon is an annual event for several BOINC teams to compete across five disciplines (five different BOINC projects) to gain points and win medals.  Several teams, but only one team comes out as the winner.  The event last for over two weeks.  If you up to the challenge, come on and join the team in competing in the pentathlon and see if your hardware can handle the heat.

@Rocket25 Woops! He must've missed the BOINC badge. I've added it now
The F@H Event badges get handed out automatically* after the yearly folding events. If you participated in the previous yearly events you would have already received the badge. If you folded in the recent COVID-19 event then that isn't going give a badge unfortunately. It's usually only the big once a year month long contests we do that give the badges and then there's often another "sprint" we normally do around this time of the year that lasts a week or two that doesn't give the badges.
 


(*Not automatic, but we go through the list of everyone who was registered and verify if they've met the requirements and hand out the badges without people needing to request them, so it could take a few days/weeks until we have time to sit down and do it)

My Opinion: with a 6800k or a 3770k I see no problem with a 2070super/2080/1080Ti/2080super being an excellent 1440p120hz+ setup, I use a 1080Ti for 1440p 144hz and I enjoy it very much. you may see some CPU bottlenecking on newer titles that can use Higher core counts reliably... however IMO most games on which high refresh rates are very desirable are often less demanding due to their fast paced competitive nature over astonishing graphics and physics.

i7 6800k is 6 core 12 thread 3.4ghz cpu. With good cooling it can be oc'd to over 4ghz. it is still great cpu. do not get new one.

I think it's more like 14.62% if I look at his spec (Rig 1)

If you upgrade to a 1080TI, you coulg get the FPS you want, without to much bottlenecking. The 1080TI is good for a smooth 1440 gaming experience.

sorry. my fault..   still, he is above 10%, which still is not good.   Cpu upgrade first, THEN gpu

@oeris I am happy to inform you that your badge request method has deemed the highest level of awesomeness by @Spotty who is considering making it the default method of requesting badges (jokingly of course)
 

Hey ! Your GTX 1080TI have better performance than the RTX 2060 or RTX 2070. Just stick to it unless you have the cash to spend on a 2080

Right now on Twitch... A DJ live streaming his set from a huge empty disco. With full camerawork, light effects and equipment. 2 thousand people watching live but still looks sooo weird not seeing any people and this guy jamming there alone LMAO the funny effects of corona
Not gonna link it, don't wanna advertise anything. Wanted to share cuz it's kinda awesome to have stuff like that available at home nowadays (ok boomer^^).
