The production numbers by our top producers are impressive, but it's the midrange figures that truly blow me away. For instance.. Over 5,000 members producing over 50k ppd, and nearly 6,400 producing over 100k ppd. Mental!! 

 

I'm definitely in that 100k+ category if I stay well fed.  Apparently that lands me squarely in the <9k rank ballpark as well.

I dunno what it is about V56/V64s.  My 5700XT has been churning happily for nearly a week with zero input from me, the 7970 is slow but methodical (and it's an OC card), but the V56 AirBoost is being an AirBitch.  Something is messed up with it too, because Radeon settings no longer lets me change core clock.  Every time I change it and click "apply" it resets the value.  Memory, power target, fan control, I can adjust all those.

Use overdriventool

you can edit soft power play tables with it to make changes apply until you reinstall the driver, done via registry editing, so that each boot it runs at the settings you set. You can also edit away the limits for power if you want to say set a 200% power target or something. I don't touch Wattma/Radeon settings at all, I only use this for both my 580 and my 56. I'm using it with the current drivers just fine. I've got different profiles for different uses, folding, gaming, low power gaming, max power gaming, silent, loud, whatever.

Nice, 784. I started this very slowly, struggling to get any tasks assigned at all, but whatever the problem was it seems to be fixed, and my GPU is now getting a constant stream of WUs. I had a really good day, jumping from 1173. Got my production up to the dizzying heights of around 1M PPD. Not record breaking by any means but decent on the hardware I'm using I guess!

OKKKK its 4am now BUT MY NEW. RMA GPU is in, OCed an running. Hopefully I can gain back some places on the chart. This event stared at the wrong time for me

[Macaw2000]

I tried to really flex yesterday but still got beaten out by someone. Who is that someone? Show yourself!

[Jeremiah.Schorn]

@Metallus97 and @Shigeru  thanks for the guide and info for G.oogle cloud Folding.  Took me about 45 minutes to setup as i was having Nvidia issues.

MBP 13 2018 folding full power. This is WITH Cryonaut TIM applied (gives about 150-200MHz but the CPU is still thermally limited)

well i now have my real time ~10-15 minute update intervals online http://folding.compson.me/summary.html

Well that's an extraordinarily useful tool!  Thanks, I'll definitely have something to play with tomorrow, if I can get teh V56 stable with advanced WUs that would be awesome because it keeps all the machines fed 100% of the time.

Feels good being in that upper range, been in the lower for way too long. Only issue I have been having the past 2 days is getting WU's consistently, usually end up waiting about an hour or more in between WU's.

Yeah, it's a pretty awesome tool and very stable.

Anyone running a GTX 1080 for folding? I want to know what are some other people's ppd is for this card. I'm currently at ~801,198 ppd.

Can we view the individual users in those break downs? I'm curious where I'm falling into?

I'm happy my machines are stable enough to put me in the 1M+ category, the last time I tried folding (like...  6-7 years ago?  May have been longer, I think it was before college) II don't think I could touch 10k/day.  I think I could touch 2M a day if everything ran 24/7 and was stable.

I know the feeling... I've recently upgraded my card, which should be netting me double my previous output, but due to the inconsistent supply of WU's my output hasn't really changed.

Sorta.  You could go to the users list in LTT and sort by daily numbers.  I don't think there's a more direct way.

^Just search for your folding name in the user search box, and your detailed stats will be there.

Gah I've fallen out of the top 500

 

I dont think ill be able to catch back up

[QazTheWsx]

A little late to the party but was always looking at the FAH project. This just gives me a reason to go ahead and start up. Got a 1080TI running full tilt right now and will have 7 1070s that is OCed hopefully by the end of Friday. The 1070s are from an old mining rig I bought off a guy when Ethereum dropped out that I have been using for rendering and other off the wall projects.

it looks like I'm in the ~500,000 PPD area when it's all working consistently. I've been having some stability issues I'm dialing in after a BIOS reset.

yeah if you look at my history on F@H it annoys me how long it took and how hot my bedroom was younger lol (2007-2008 Era) lol i had a xps 700 (converted to a 710 as part of a Nvidia chipset issue on the 700 series and a faulty power button design) 

it had:

Red Plastics

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800 @ 3.2 GHz OC  (if i recall correctly)

8 GB of DDR2 800MHZ Dominator ram(i still have 2 of the sticks Neither work but i paid too much for them to toss em lol)

DUAL ATI Radeon X 1950 XTX with EXTERNAL Crossfire cable this is when you had to buy an A and B card. 

4x 80 GB 10k HDDS in raid 10 - WD Raptors!!!

1KW PSU

RGB before it was everywhere

took 2-3 years for this beast to do what it did on all these teams:

Spoiler

it took me 3-4 days to equal that with my current setup.

I dont even remember the external crossfire cable and A and B cards.. I do remember those XPS systems though and I remember xfire being weird

My first windows machine was a Compaq (are they even still around?  Lol.) though after HP had bought them.  I haven't a clue what the mobo was anymore, but I recall it was an Athlon XP 2400+, and originally I think it was a ATI Radeon X1650 Pro.  I remember I managed to get a Radeon HD 3850 in AGP format in there lol.

 

Basically all of the WUs not on the LTT team were from whenever I did it before, and honestly it may have been on the family macs instead...  Which would have made it the half-sphere iMac G4, or mayyyyybe the old multi-color iMac G3s.  That's definitely too far back for me to be sure.  I think I folded 10 or so WUs on team 0 before switching recently.

 

So the original stuff would have been about 8,400/WU, now I can do 29,325/WU.  That's a... 3.5x increase?  Lol
