LTT Folding Team's Emergency Response to Covid-19

[TheawesomeMCB]

Do you have to have a certain amount of points before entering? Also would I be able to get 500,000 points that fast with a amd ryzen 5 3600 and a gtx 1070 ti? Or would I need something more powerful?

There's no minimum, but it will help a lot if you can complete a few work units before the start of the event in order to get the quick return bonus (you'll need a passkey).
A Ryzen 5 3600 should be able to do 500k points within 10 days, though with the issues around work unit distribution who knows. A mid range GPU from the past few years should be able to knock out 500k points in a single day. What graphics card do you have?

How do I know, how many hours (or days) my PC was active for FAH?

You can look up your username here. It provides a log of hourly (3hrs)/daily/weekly/monthly production.

OK, some questions here. I can't find my name either by searching on the given website (using Team ID, user name, user ID) and on the team list (URL below).

But, I can see my name on the native Folding @ Home website. Why is that?

It takes a little while for the extremeoverclocking website to update with new users. It appears you've only submitted one work unit so far so it's likely that ExtremeOverclocking hasn't updated yet. Check back in a few hours (it updates every 3 hours).

LTL;FTP. Just signed up for F@H, excited to be able to help! I was actually stuck in Wuhan for about a month when this whole thing started, and my partner is still stuck over there. Hoping that this will help at least a little bit, and that this thing will be over soon.

I have a gtx 1070 ti

Would I be good?

@TheawesomeMCB

A GTX 1070 ti is plenty, I am using a GTX 1070 and easily do more than 100k a day if I let it run full time. It estimates 500k a day, but I don't get work units non stop.

1070Ti is a great card for folding. As long as you can get work units you'd be able to get 500k in a single day easily.

[UrbanFreestyle]

Just started folding and still waiting for a WU for either my CPU or GPU... currently errors saying no jobs available

[Dylanc1500]

Hey @Spotty (since everyone else is asking) for giggles I just set up a Core2 T7250, how many points a day do you anticipate?
 

It's not for serious use, that said, it claims I should get about 3500 points a day lol.

3500 points per day? It would have to be able to finish a work unit within 24 hours for that to happen

[42thgamer]

Yes, got a WU for my GPU and one for my CPU! Anyone else having any luck?

Lol that was my thought.
 

I've got a couple quad socket rack mounts work is allowing me to use for it, if I can saturate them with work units, which are about as sparse as toilet paper right now.

My 1070 (+90 CC (2000 MHz in reality), +250 MC (4250 MHz in reality)) does around 750k a day, so 1070 Ti should be able to do same or even more.

1750 PP2D

Much better today, turned the PCs on and they both got both CPU and GPU running within 20mins.

Wait, your 1070 is making 750k points a day? My 1650 Super is barely doing 300k 0.o

 

Is a card from 4 years ago really that much more powerful than one from late last year... interesting. That said though, the pricing of the two cards still seems to make the Super to be the better of the two cards from a raw power to dollar view

Me too. Stoped gaming for a bit so my PC can get to work!

Well yeah, I can provide you estimate that I get from the client, but they usually vary between 680k and 850k depending on WU. But I know for fact that I am doing at least 750k on that card as I had it and 1x R9 380 and 1x R380x running together for almost a month, and they were all together getting between 1.1M and 1.5M and I know for a fact that those two R9's cannot pull more than 200k PPD each (even with 0x22 core) and they are basically sitting at max overclock which is really really close to being unstable.

[Daniel_SC]

So quick question. I signed up monday for F@H, and got to work straight away. Since everything was pretty overloaded, I didn't get any passkey until yesterday. When I put in the key, all my points went to 0, and it seemed like I started over, thus loosing around 30.000 points. Is there some way to get those back, or are they just gone? I mean its no big deal or anything, but it would be nice to get the points back if it is at somehow possible.

 

BTW, great job everybody! Especially the mods, for managing this unruly crowd

Yup, 1070 seems to be about 30% faster according to videocardbenchmark.net

1650s is newer but much lower end

2080S WU finished and it can't get another one... not the "no WU available" this time, just the server keeps timing out

I used to get up to 900k a day with a 1070ti
