Folding Pie and Milestones!!

[[Ion]]

I'm coming for ya, Ion/iFX. Well, at least in a few weeks, that is.

I may be picking up an 8800GS and a 780i board from Buck Nasty in exchange for the Zotac Geforce 9300 ITX, and if I did I would have closer to 8k PPD, maybe 11k if I can trade my Sugo SG05/FSP 300w for another 8800GS. He said he's looking to downsize the farm due to the power bill, but still wants to keep the PPD within TPU's community.

I'm confused... are you saying if you folded all day and didn't have problems i would have 25k ppd? Also i haven't been folding full force again yet. I shut 1 of my rigs off when i'm at school and i have had 2 of the GT's underclocked because it was too hot for me. But next week i am on break from school so i will leave all of them run and open my window when i get hot

probably, if not even more.
the gt220 and the 9500gt run 24/7,EUE free till now
i still havent figured out, which card errors me out, i suppose it is the evga. the evga is a shader monster. the bfg seems to be a core monster, i just cant really test it atm, because the evga, will only clock till 750. both have not craponda memory luckily. the BFG uses Hynix 1.0ns chips (specced for 1000mhz by hynix, here is the datasheet
Hynix HY5RS123235BFP GDDR3
i believe the evga to use Samsungs, the next best Hynix is specced for 1200, and the evga errors at least at 1150 mhz mem.
we should not worry,pos

Tonight's numbers are a little less lopsided, and therefore a little less frightening. They've still crested 1 million points and in turn beaten us by 160 thousand or so though. The lead we have is shrinking, but we're currently doing our best to match their output. They probably think they've got this one in the bag, so we'd best start by foiling those plans.


Pie!

Muah hahaha second place pie again.

Tonight's post sneaks by those of our members looking to earn milestones, and postpones the festivities of milestones for another night. Its not a worry as many still made impressive progress towards equally impressive milestones today, there simply is less evidence to actively show that tonight.

Keep up the good show guys, we've got some Canucks to disappoint.

As sad as it makes me to say this, unless HCF looses deadthings again, I don't think we have any chance. We were doing a bit more than they did without deadthings, but unless we can find another Buck Nasty I'm not sure what we can do.

I'll be adding another PC and three more cards within the coming month. It's the most I can do in the near future.

Come on bro have faith. I have some stuff cooking as we speak so when it takes effect I'll be clearing well over 120K-130K's PPD again

Well, then unless a sack of money just happens to fall in front of me, I guess I won't be catching up. Good luck with the new acquisition.

 

[El Fiendo]

Not very much has changed tonight, other than HWC's projected overtake of us. They've narrowed it down to 2 weeks and we are still looking at a fluctuating number that'll be heading up. We're counting down our remaining days, in which we continually see fewer each update.

Of course, in the midst of the doom and gloom, we still see our true folding power and the true achievements we can reach. Tonight we hand in our 200 millionth point as a team and, no matter the outcome of our race with HWC, that's the one thing that will stick with us. Don't lose sight that we've still had an amazing advancement in team position, and that if HWC ever did pass us there is nothing to say that it'd be permanent.

Pie!

Tonight's festivities start off with Wile_E claiming his 250k milestone on his long trek to 1 million. Not to be outdone, msgclb throws down his 7 millionth point in the F@H project. As the ground stops trembling from both of these milestones hitting with concussive force, Team TPU drops the aforementioned 200 millionth point that earns us our collective milestone tonight. Everyone should be getting a pat on the back tonight.

Grats to Msgclb for another mil.

Thanks and congrats to TPU and our collective.
I have this sneaking feeling that HWC will be our nemesis either from behind or in front of us for a long time but I'd rather leave a trail for them to follow.

Not that I'm pissed (more like annoyed) but from the looks of it, they need outside or divine intervention from a folder (from another team) just to even get close So much for home-grown folders I guess and that's what make us different from those guys.......:endrant:

Well said. Meanwhile, I'm back to plotting to add more acres to my farm.

My feelings exactly. The irony for them is if they do pass us, it isn't really their victory because of the external influences. I take pride in knowing that this team pulls it's own weight.

Your #3 ppd folder is Canadian, your #4 ppd and #8 ppd folder started with HCF. How is that home grown? So how does that make you different from them?

Yes external influences like having hertz9753 and dhoshaw from HCF come over and start folding for TPU. Sure sounds like a team that pulls it's own weight alright.

 

[hertz9753]

@bluetinge. Sorry guy, that's the first time that I have used the nut kick, but I think you needed one. How about thanking me for the 2 million+ points that I folded for HWC.

 

[bluetinge]

@ hertz9753, good childish response instead of answering the questions that I posed to your two top folders false statements.

Can I add you to my friends list?

 

[hertz9753]

Congrats, msgclb on your milestone.

 

[NastyHabits]

Now, now children. Let's keep this a friendly rivalry.

Besides, we can always send El Fiendo to take care of any trouble makers. He'll bury them in witty repartee, innuendo, and just plain threats.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

@ hertz9753, good childish response instead of answering the questions that I posed to your two top folders false statements.

Thanks for joining the forum. Our members(regardless of origin) have been with Techpowerup for several months or more. I was referring to team jumpers(as of recent). The term "false statement(s)" might be a bit vague and requires clarification.

Bluetinge, are you from the UK?

 

[bluetinge]

Thanks for the welcome.

For the first false statement, it comes from Bogmali:

Not that I'm pissed (more like annoyed) but from the looks of it, they need outside or divine intervention from a folder (from another team) just to even get close So much for home-grown folders I guess and that's what make us different from those guys.......:endrant:

He states that the Canucks need outside intervention from a folder (from another team) and that's what makes TPU different from Canucks when obviously TPU got outside intervention from hertz9753 and dhoshaw who started with HCF and are not "home-grown" for TPU.


For your statment, Buck:

My feelings exactly. The irony for them is if they do pass us, it isn't really their victory because of the external influences. I take pride in knowing that this team pulls it's own weight.

TPU also just had a folding contest and so got points from people who don't usually fold which is the same case as Dead Things when he folds for contest points for HCF. So that is the same scenario so if TPU pulls it's own weight even though it gets help during contests, how is that different from HCF when it gets help during contests also?

 

[bogmali]

BlueTinge, let me quote Mr. Webster on the "true" meaning of the word home-grown:

"home-grown (comparative more home-grown, superlative most home-grown)
Positive
home-grown
Comparative; more home-grown, Superlative; most home-grown

1. Having been produced locally. "

I do believe that you're right by saying El Fiendo is Canadian (nobody is disputing that) however I am almost positive that he started folding for team TPU and still does. So I think that would qualify him as a "home-grown" folder. As far as Hertz and doshaw(sp) goes, they voluntarily left HWC and no one from team TPU recruited them out of team HWC. I am going to leave this discussion alone by saying,:shadedshu Please get your facts straight before you start accusing people here of lying

TPU also just had a folding contest and so got points from people who don't usually fold which is the same case as Dead Things when he folds for contest points for HCF. So that is the same scenario so if TPU pulls it's own weight even though it gets help during contests, how is that different from HCF when it gets help during contests also?

I would normally argue this statement and compare but like I've said I will leave it be

 

[msgclb]

I did a little cut & paste to create this image.

As of this update from xcpus our nemesis has only a 249 point advantage for today. I believe that there is one more update so maybe we will overtake them.

Keep up the good work guys.
