Do each of my clients need to finish 10 WU's now before the bonus kicks in? I think that's gonna be at least a couple of days then before I start to see if this fix does anything.

Nope.  Just 10 WUs completed for that user and passkey.  It could be from one system completing 10 WUs or 10 systems completing 1 WU each.

 

You do need to maintain a high completion rate within the time limits of to keep the bonus.  I believe it is 80% success rate required for the bonus

Woo Hoo I qualified for bronze rank today!

I'd be curious, with linux now having the fully certified Open stack of GPU drivers for the Apple chips, what somebody folding with those GPUs actually gets.  Sadly, I don't have access to an M series chip to try myself.

One of my 3 is an M1 Air, You don't get a lot... You all are smokin me.

well todays update will suck...my 3070m decided to go on strike!!!!  after screaming at computer and powering it back on and flicking it off its folding again...

Well I am dead in the water. The rig holding the 4x4090's has had a PSU failure and it can't be replaced till next weekend at the earliest as the machine isn't local to me.

 

Guess I will throw a 5700XT and 6750XT into the competition for now. It will be quite the drop in production.

Not nice. I have been following you since you steamed past me on rank 800.

It would've been under linux using the GPU, but I thought it was all the Open stuff that was finished (including OpenCL), not just OpenGL.  Right now, I don't believe MacOS anything can use GPU folding, and M series can't do it (yet) under linux either it would seem.  Thus why you're getting creamed...those of us that CPU only fold just can't keep up with a GPU.

Sorry for not giving you regular updates on the data handling, I forgot to eat today so needed to get that sorted. Data is in, validation is underway and blog should be coming within the next hour 

[GOTSpectrum]

@Baha @AdenoidLlama080 I'm going to need you two to slow down... because... uh... speed limits... nothing to do with you overtaking me honest

POint validation complete Spec and i are crying blog may be late

So far all of my hardware is holding up well. I've got 5 cards running at the moment, and I plan to bring a few more online within the next few days. 

 

In other news, I have yet another piece of hardware that has come back from the dead. I have an ASRock X79 Extreme6 motherboard, and last year during folding month it completely died. It wouldn't POST no matter what I tried, even with different memory. I just accepted that it was dead and put it in storage. I got it out a few days ago to sell it for parts, and I decided to test it just to see what it would do. Well, it's working again! So far the only issue I've found is that it won't POST with one particular memory slot occupied, but otherwise it's fine. No clue what changed between last year and now, but I've got another machine to stuff with random GPUs now.

When it died last year I tried all sorts of memory configurations, including configurations with no memory in that one slot. It's got 8 slots, so I tried plenty of things to get it running again, but nothing worked then. It seems stable now with 7 slots full, and I've even been able to OC the memory a bit without crashing. It's not the first time I've had hardware come back to life this year. The RTX 2070 Super that I'm folding on was completely dead until this past January when it randomly started working again.

I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid I can't do that -- I do promise that the dust is at least for a good cause!

Well in that case I think you should speed past me and everyone else, buy yourself some two-slot 4070tis!

SOO ALL my laptops went on strike have yall Linux users seen where Ubuntu with V7 thinks cuda isnt enabled(yes i enabled it and the NVIDIA SMI says its enabled? i ended up loading V8 beta and its happy for the moment...

If they actually sold their cards over here in the states, I might be tempted! Price aside, having something that could do AV1 encoding and actually fits in my server would be neat.

I've had this happen to me before with Ubuntu Server. The only way I ended up fixing it was to completely remove all nvidia driver packages, reboot, reinstall the driver packages, and reboot again.

I've now messaged everyone who has not yet folded... will it make a difference... time will tell 

[GOTSpectrum]

looking at EPYC systems on aliexpress.... 

 

 

okay then...

Maybe it's 5% vegan? 

[leadeater]

Damn this folding month is actually really competitive across all the ranks, can't wait for all the old EPYC ESXi hosts to age out so I can migrate off these old as hell 2690v3 servers which are super not completive anymore
