How's this for a start?

So I decided to start folding last night even with my sub-par graphics cards, and after less than 24 hours I've almost hit 10,000 Points. Now I'm really not sure how this stacks up, but I'm pleased either way to be contributing to a worthy cause. Hopefully once I drop the 7770's for a 980 or one of the new AMD high end cards when they are released I'll be golden on the GPU sides, as I don't think either one of them have completed a WU yet lol.

 

Also, I tried joining the LTT team using the number on the F@H website, but my profile still shows me on the default. Did I screw up somehow?

Hey man! Its awesome that you are contributing :)   Dont worry buddy, you are part of the team. You can use http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/ to check for personal as well as team stats that are updated more regularly than the F@H Stanford site.

Note: Nicknames in FAH are NOT unique, which means that there can be more than one person with same nickname.

So if someone else has your same nickname, both of your (your and his) contributions will be associated to the same name.

Create a passkey to have a unique way to distinguish yourself.

 

PS: I don't know details but it seems against the rules to use the same nickname as someone else, so if by searching your nickname you find results that doesn't belong to you, then change your nickname (you can change it anytime) and then make a passkey with that nickname.

Just to be sure to not mess with other people ^^

Update: After 48 hours of folding I'm almost at 100,000 points (88,755 to be exact) with 78,914 going to the LinusTechTips team! Extremely pleased. Both 7770's finished up their WU's for almost 65,000 points alone. Wonder how it'll be with a REAL graphics card. Exciting stuff.

If you care for folding (and for your money) you should get 2 290xs as opposed to a 980...

 

I get about 180000 PPD with an R9 290 :)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I don't know. I myself am looking at 970's due to lower power consumption and heat output.

For general gaming the 290's are great for the price. But after folding for a couple of month's the higher consumption of those cards will cost more in the longer run.

How about using a 780?

Because he had a hard drive.

Usually the power savings amount to little more than a few pennies. And right now my pc is heating the room no problem, meaning I don't need to pay as much for heat :)

But more to cool when it's warm out :)

True, although I fixed that by leaving the windows open last summer :) I wasn't folding back then though.

If it's something you're already using, then I wouldn't sweat it. The 780 uses a bit less power than a 290. Around 30~70W less.

The 970's gives you a really nice PPD (higher than a 290), with maybe 100 watts lower power consumption.
