I'm not going to be setting alarms to get one, but I will more than likely end up with one. How long it'll take to get to Alaska and how much testing(if any) I'll be able to do before I go back to work has yet to be seen. 

I'm thinking if money works out I may get one to do some videos of folding with it on YouTube or something.

So I get home tonight. I’ll be back in streams. 
That being said, they come out the 12th? I fly back to work the 19th. So I’d have to have it and have a couple days to play with it by the 18th. 
Here’s to hoping. I really don’t need a card, I don’t have a good system to run it in. My main computer is tapped out. 
Folding computer has all its PCIE slots filled and doesn’t like to boot when I shut it off. 
Nas has the two quadros that could be replaced, but it’d have to be 600k ppd either more efficient or more than 600k ppd to be worth it. That PSU is out of PCIE cables. I wonder if Corsair cables and MSI share a pin out. 
There’s rumors they do. My multi meter is down in Arizona though. Might spend some time looking really closely at them. Or just getting a cheap meter to be sure.

Feel free to ship it to me instead, I will get all the testing out of it lmfao 

 

Nice to hear you will be back in streams

Your NAS has dual Quadro M4000s, correct? I recently picked up a $200 Quadro P4000 from eBay, and that card gets over 900K PPD by itself while drawing less power than the M4000. I've got it in an old X58 system with my M4000 right now, and combined they get roughly 1.3m PPD on average.

What power draw you seeing?

It fluctuates (right now the P4000 is drawing slightly more power than the M4000), but the P4000 is usually right around the 100W mark. I've seen the M4000 all over the place. Right now it's at 90W with 52W being drawn by the chip itself. Usually the M4000 is slightly higher than the P4000. 

 

It's definitely not as much as the 3080 I've been folding on for the past couple weeks!

Yeah I am. I haven’t messed with anything in a couple months. Had company in July and then August. Living room was getting too toasty so I shut my main rig down. 
That P4000 sounds interesting. 
I really need to get it running and then start playing with voltage limits and all that. I’ve been running everything stock.

I run most of my cards at stock settings, but I'd also like to start tuning some stuff. The P4000 is a pretty interesting card. It's GP104 based (GP104-850-A1), and they aren't too expensive. I got mine for $200, but they usually sell between $250 and $300 on eBay. Single slot like the M4000, still has 8GB of memory, quad DP outputs, etc. I like it so far.

crap i got work to do...

[BondiBlue]

Less than 200 million points away from that shiny Platinum badge! Also, I'm somehow ranked 3,630 out of everyone running Folding@home. Wow, just wow. 

 

It's crazy for me to think that when I first started folding it took me roughly a year to get to my first million points. Now I regularly get several million points per day, and all with hardware that has continued to get cheaper and cheaper over time. I enjoy the friendly competition, and my furnace sure doesn't get much use in the winter. 

 

In case anyone is wondering, the points for the r/mac_Folding_Team shown above were almost all earned from a couple older Macs that run Folding@home. That was for a folding team on a Discord server I'm a member of, but it never went anywhere.

Only a handful of data samples but one of you guys has a RTX 4090 logging work units.

 

Not surprising the PPD looks nuts, and the power usage as well.

Now we wait and see to what this normalizes out to over a couple days of data.

The best comparison currently is Alzheimer's p18601, a nice large atom WU with good point allocation, which shows slightly more than double over a 3090ti. Impressive but based on der8auer's tests I'm more interested in seeing what it can do at reduced power targets or clocks where it would be much more efficient. Interesting too that Ada seems to have reduced sharpness of the transients per GamersNexus.

Excuse me, is anyone else having issues getting here? I am receiving a DNS probe error every time. https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/ I am asking of course because I tend to use that site for monitoring my point production over time.

It's not down for me.

Works for me. Here's your page in case you wanted it.

I've been noticing a lot of extremely slow DNS resolves as of late.  If you're not using your own caching DNS server on a router or similar, seeing occasional issues like that wouldn't surprise me.  However, I'm also not having issues resolving and reaching it.  I'm using 1.1.1.2 (safer version of 1.1.1.1, which will black hole a bunch of stuff) for DNS. 

 

You could try temporarily switching DNS servers, though if you're using defaults, FireFox will be doing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for you to a different DNS provider already.  Maybe there's issues with that.

 

If you want more details on DNS timing, at least when not hitting exceptional slow responses (unless they continue happening), then check out GRC's DNS Bench.  https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

I've had the same issue on my old network. Your IP may have been blacklisted by their firewall.

Three possible solutions if that's the case:

1. Contact them (there should be an email somewhere and fix can take up to a month but usually happens within a week)

2. Use VPN

3. Use different network

I finally got things fixed, yes I was blacklisted but comcast rotated the IP I was coming from and it updated so things are back to working for me. An annoying like 6 days.

(If you haven't already) Would you be interested in starting a thread with all the information like PPD, power draw, PPD/Watt, etc. you've collected about Folding on your GPUs? There is quite a lot of it and I feel like it should be more readily accessible, and we could just link it to conversations whenever someone asks about efficiency....
