TBH, I really want to have a new 24/7 card....  Atm... These maxwell cards are starting to show their age in heat output... 

i feel yeah. with it being at 20c my gtx960 mini would hit about 61c with fan set at 80% and getting 180k ppd
my newish hand me down gtx970 2 fans, with fan at 80% hits about 67c and getting 350k to 400k ppd.

@jakkuh_t I’m guessing Asus came through with the patch you needed.

No more Titan V’s

And no announcement on the WAN Show I think... Right?

I'm going to aim for 1,000,000,000 by myself next year.

Yeah I would like to be there by the end of next year but I don't think that's possible for me. Probably summer in a year and a half since I'll be cutting back to one card when the month is over.

If we can keep up the steam until the end of the month we should be able to take 2nd place for points production for a Team from team EVGA.

 

Keep on Folding!

my newish hand me down gtx970 2 fans, with fan at 80% hits about 67c and getting 350k to 400k ppd. 
 

My EVGA 1060 6GB short board presently in my workstation hits 72C with a 70% fan at 21-25C ambient.

 

My EVGA 1060 6GB SC2 dual Fan which is the lower card in my main folding rig hits 59-62C at 70% fan.

 

Both produce 390-440K depending on the WU

 

I’ve been impressed with the 2070. It’s hitting 58-61C at 70% fan 1.2-1.3M PPD in my test box but it has great better airflow compared to the other two systems.

 

If NVidia comes out with a 2060 it could be a really nice card for efficient folding depending on the price point.  I’m guessing $350-400US given the current pricing trends.

Edited November 27, 2018 by Gorgon
70% fan on 2070 not 50%

[Cereal5]

14124 is officially the new worst WU. Currenty working through one on my MSI 1080 Ti, and it's at 1 million PPD flat. About 250-300k below normal avg.

I know the pain...

[justpoet]

Boom!  Officially top 3000 on the team now!  CPU only baby!  LOL

The progress drastically slowed down once I got above the 3250 mark though.  I was hoping for top 2500 by end of month, but I don't think it is going to happen since not only is there more activity up here, I'm also going to be taking down a system for maintenance.

No problem. Thanks for contributing we appreciate all the help we have received from people participating in the competition and all the others who are helping out as well. We've made some amazing progress this month for the LTT Folding Team and, most importantly, for the researchers who we are lending the excess capacity we have on our systems to.

 

As part of the wrap up for the competition we will be looking at the points contributed overall as well as the breakdown of points contributed by the competition members so we should be able to infer and acknowledge the contribution of the rest of the LTT Folding Team over the month.

 

The competition is mostly about bragging rights and getting a special badge for your profile. Badges are also available for anyone, however, after 21 WUs are completed and after 1, 25, 100 and 500 Million Points are contributed.

 

If we do a lessons learnt after the competition is over I believe it should include:

• Have the Competition announced well in advance via shout-outs on the WAN Show and on the Forums
• Have any give-aways from LTT announced with the Competition
• Have the Sign Up opened a few weeks before the Competition starts for people to work out any bugs and close on the first day of the Competition

I am just happy i can help. I have nearly doubled my points ! Nearly 4M at the point of writing.

I think i will be folding after the month is over, but not at the same level as now. Electricity is not cheap in my country, so this month is going to be a bit expensive. But i will manage.

 

I hope to see more competitions like this in the future. I don't follow forums that much, but i watch the WAN show and nearly all other LTT videos, so a shoutout would get my attention.
