@james888 can you add in a TL;DR for my sake :laugh:


Edit: I think I found it in the end ;)

I put spoilers around the hard numbers if that is what you were asking about. If it is the first, then I would recommend just waiting for me to talk about the results.
 
We seem to have lost @TeXBill .:(

He's not lost, he just can't be found :laugh: Actually I don't know him, but he's a high roller according to stats :respect: :respect:


As for me, I'll strike up the folding again on the 290s in a few days. I usually run a little while, then stop, then run again; it's more economical that way for me... and the wife :rolleyes:

The 7770 goes nonstop; no rest for that little bad boy!


Edit: guilty pleasure, just kicked the 290s back in gear. They'll probably run through the weekend, and then my power bill will get a break. :oops:

Has anyone seen any infor on ppd for the new Nvidia cards? A pair of those 970s look pretty good. Not gonna upgrade if the points arent there.

Probably haven't even been tested in Folding@Home yet. :p

Anything requiring double precision (DP) will be almost the same as a 680 (both have very low DP GFlops).... anything else should be an improvement

Here some data on 980's from Anandtech's review:

*note- 780/780Ti are much better at DP since they are based on the Titan

We missed you Norton. :laugh:

Look like MStenholm is back in the fray. :toast::toast:

weather getting cooler maybe we will see more.:respect:
I will be on/off for some time in the near future.
 
In crptocoins, like bitcoin, it is getting about 3 times the performance of a 750ti. So I would expect 180,000 ppd but that is a rough estimate based from other compute programs.
 
Once they un-cripple the folding (And other compute) performance of maxwell (or even release big maxwell) I imagine it will be a beast of a card. The 750ti does surprisingly well as-is. The TITAN Ultra or whatever will kick ppd butt if you've got the cash.

I hope maxwell coming out beyond the 750ti will get me more 0x17 work. I could have 70k ppd but instead I have 25k from 0x15 work.
 
I have to post again about this, sorry. My Canadian government are being ignorant dickheads by trying to ban ecigs. They don't get a cut of sales, and our gov likes tax a lot. They are going so far as to say ecigs produce bad things. I started my own eliquid company, I know what is in the liquid as I make it, they are ignorant. Ecigs get heavy smokers off tobacco, and it saves their lives. The government needs to go lick their ...... Such an easy way to prevent cancer in the first place, so we don't have to fold our asses off......
Edit, sorry, 53rd birthday on the 28th, and also my 9th month smoke free due to ecigs. Tell your states rep or what ever to not ban ecigs please!

A GTX 980 folder reported 300k PPD with 9201's on OCN. The GTX 970 is over 200k.
They can fold.

I'm sure that you can

I was just reading the numbers - http://www.overclock.net/t/1514912/gtx-970-folding-numbers
 
$ilent is kind of crazy. He will oc to high and kill hardware or WU's
I'm also a Folding Editor on OCN now. Don't hate me.
 
Oh joy. Just picked up a Core16 WU for the 7950. Duking 5000 PPD on it. X(

Yikes. I had my share of bad luck too - 95 % of a 13000 wet well and then it crashed and couldn't be re-started. I fired up an extra 7970 to make up for the lost points.
 
Core 16 WU's for AMD=Core 15 for Nvidia. You fold them because you are a folder.

Losing a Core 17 13000 at 95% is hard. It takes me half of a day to complete one on a GTX 780.
 
For those of you that might be interested, I listed my WCG rigs for sale in the forum. There's a 4P G34 rig and a Dual Xeon rig available.
 
Anybody else getting empty work servers? My Nvidia cards are idle.

My 290x brought to its knees. Nvidia cards sitting idle. Not a good day.
 
The dreaded 0x15 and 0x16 Wu's. Is there any way we can get 0x17 wu's consistently? It makes a big difference in my ppd and apparently a 290x's also.
