I believe @Gorgon said that it is useful for determining relative performance, so a 980ti should be twice as fast as a 780ti.

edit 

 sorry typo.    it is    name=next-unit-percentage v= 99. i should also mention the vale for the percentage can only be set as low as 90%

Tyvm. 980ti it is then.

I'm so used to my PC making a constant load fan hum that it's weird when it goes quiet on me. I'm like, Uhhh, where'd the noise go?

For me I notice it when it starts getting colder in the room. My workstation that's also folding is the only source of heat that I need to heat the entire room. Pulls over 500 Watts from the wall.

I'm imagining you sitting in the middle of a cabin in the woods with good utilities going "c'mon F@H I need some WUs. I'm starting to freeze my butt off in here!" while warming your hands on the case.

I added two fans to my room to help deal with the heat lol

It's not unrealistic at all lol, all of my cases are warm to the touch.

Nope it is up

I did just come home from work and still that site is timeing me out ("ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT").

Atleast Folding own site still works for me  https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/107197

Last night when the weather got nice I ran the bathroom fan (a good one that actually moves air) and opened my bedroom window.  Got it down to 71.5F from the 77F it started at by the time i closed it.  Got nice and cozy-cool in here.

I've been looking around at several different charts like this, and none of the nvidia Quadro line are listed. Ive got the Quadro RTX 8000. Is this not necessairly as good as a 2080ti for folding?

That spreadsheet used to be a lot more useful when you could see all the data and not just the summary so you could see what project and clocks the individual data points were running at.

 

Honestly unless your just plain nostalgic about 980Tis or want to SLI with your current I's not spend any money on Kepler but get a lower-end Turing like the 1660ti. I can vouch that the datapoint on that spreadsheet for the 166Ti at 565kPPD is way off. Mine's been getting 635kPPD to 890kPPD with the average being 780kPPD over the last 7 days.

I think it's just because relatively few people are using Quadros. The Quadro should be faster for these kinds of workloads, at least that's what I think.

Had the same problem this morning... after 100 attemts to get a WU, I was setting back my setting and it worked right away...you can go down up to 90 

 

Does this require a restart after saving?

You might want to exit the client from the icon in Task Manager Then relaunch it from the start menu to make sure. You will revert to the last checkpoint and so lose 5-15m work but not the whole WU.

 

Then it should take but you won't see any change until the next WU.

 

BTW - there are no more BigAdv, that was an older CPU group. Just Beta, Advanced and Default.

In light of recent heated disagreements between myself and @Gorgon, I regretfully announce my resignation from the LTT folding team.

Henceforth, I will be folding for EVGA's team. I will finish up these last WUs for LTT and then switch.

 

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

 

For those interested in the details, you can read my full resignation letter: https://folding.den-fi.com/foldingresignationletter.html

 

THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE. I'm not going anywhere!

I'm moving over to EVGA as well - you're not escaping that easily.

 

Besides they have folding bucks to offset the ridiculous shipping charges to Canada

Oh wow, sorry to see you go. Your make some good points in your letter though. Particularly https://folding.den-fi.com/foldingresignationletter.html#a-decade-worth-of-lies. Thank you for all the contributions though!

Okay that's twice today.....

[steelo]

Can anyone tell me if I set this correctly? I'm wanting it to download the next WU when it is 90% complete with the current one...This is for the GPU slot. Thanks!

Not only am I bored, to death, so is my computer...

keep in mind that it can drastically affect your score if you have WUs for an extended amount of time before you can work on them
