I'm looking to be breaking into the top 500 in the world in a few days, nice!

my PPD for my 2070 been stuck around 1-1.1m for 2 days now... it was first pushing ~1.3m.

 

Currently on a 14220 WU

i blame 14180!!!

I blame brexit! Them 14180s coming here taking our CUDA cores and being lazy... wait... wrong forum.

@justpoet Check your mirrors

I threw a little bit more distance between us, but just because a longer running WU landed.  Your production looks to be about double mine, so go get 'em!…but I'm still gonna make you put the hammer down to make the pass.  

[justpoet]

I'm honestly surprised to still be top 500 with just a few spare old Xeon cores and a Ryzen 5.  Maybe I'll survive one more day there if I'm lucky…but holding top 500 for a week on CPU is a win in my book.  If I'm lucky, I'll be back into the overall team's top 2000 again by the end of the event.

We are producing more folding atm per week than we usually do in a month

Yeah my systems are at full throttle, pedal to the floor

I think so as well, I'm running CPU & GPU so the overtake is expected, but you keep on going.

Maybe we should give a badge to the most points on CPU alone?

[GOTSpectrum]

I can't stop looking at RTX cards on ebay for a deal....
I think I have a problem

1. we aint allowed any more badges

 

2. it would be far to hard to verify

I just checked my power ussage for the last few days of full folding.

 

It is 23kWh pr day.. ough

and with a price of arround 0.34USD pr kWh, it's gonna be an expensive month, together with the fact that i folded the whole month of september too, although only a gtx 1080, so that was a total of 368kWh for september,.....

 

It is all for the good cause!

Oh god.

also 0.34 is expensive

so have I lol

 

i saw a 1080 ti local to me for £250 but it was dodgy as he pinched a photo from another ad on gumtree

I made a another modification and added another GTX 680. I just don't know if I should SLI them.

Don't think SLI make any difference for folding

That was my thinking as well. That's why I did not do it in one of my basement rigs.

SLI is not required nor recommended, as the cards are often doing different projects, and to the best of my knowledge cannot be configured to work together to fold the same protein.

 

On that note, I wonder how an R9 295x2 would fold, since it has 2 GPU's on the same PCB. Would that show up as two different GPU's? Would they too have their own work units assigned to each core? Would the heat output accelerate global warming by 57%?

Ack, lost 10th place..

 

Time to dig into my literal pile of old hardware...

 

<One hour later...>

 

 

Hmm, didnt think I could get both running in the same system..

But HEY!, more points. 

Ah the competition is getting intense. I like this.

This is huge. Actually out producing Curecoin is the craziest thing I could possibly imagine.

I'm GPU folding (doing work on my laptop, but my GPU would otherwise be idle).

This is on a mobile GTX 1050, I'm only getting ~4000 PPD  

 

According to this list, the GTX 1050 (normal, but mobile shouldn't be too far off) should get around 130K PPD: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vcVoSVtamcoGj5sFfvKF_XlvuviWWveJIg_iZ8U2bf0/pub?output=html

 

Ah, I see. I was probably being over dramatic in hindsight  Now that I am at 1.28% it's already gone down to 18 hours and 120K PPD.

Make sure you activate your bonus by entering your passkey.

Ah British problems and how little the rest of the world cares. And by rest of the world I mean US. lol

i'd probably get another card, BUT i really ought to start saving up for a decent monitor, as well as i have some more creatively minded projects i'd like to do. might later this month though

 

Edit: on the other hand... maybe i could find something that i could borrow from people i know

I also have 2 GTX 580s, but if i add them to the third slot, I think I would loose PPD. My MBs are not that high end.

[Metallus97]

My servers are kicking in! I expect to get to 4mPPD in the next 48h. BUT wont be able to stay there for long... renting M60s, V100s and GTX1080 aint cheap

Don’t think EK will be making blocks for a 1660Ti, same as they didn’t do for the 2070 (havent looked in a while)

A lot of the 2080 EK blocks will fit on 2070s as they share the same board designs as 2080s but are usually just missing Vcore phases.

Luckily here in Canada we are now allowed to grow marijuana personally and that is the only reason I’m sure I haven’t yet had a visit from law enforcement based on my power bill.  Currently I’m running about 3kW/h Folding or $0.39/hr

 

I keep getting emails from my power company telling me how much worse my power consumption is that my neighbours. The funny part is until I started folding we were much lower than the neigbors as we’ve all LED lights and invested in Energy-Star appliances and limit the electric clothes dryer to off-peak hours.

 

Ive gone from the grumpy old man complaining about the kids leaving lights on (OMG I’ve become my father) to dammit why can’t I get my 2080 above 200W on these WUs.

I’m running a GTX 1060 in the chipset PCIe x16 (PCIe2 x4 electrically) slot on a mATX b450 and I’m not seeing any loss in performance. Mind you this is under Linux so it might handle the bus arbitration better than Windows.

I have two Titan Z (dual GPU) cards folding, and yup, each GPU shows as it's own slot and folds their own WUs. The heat output is insane as well, pretty sure they alone have melted an iceberg or two.
