@BUCK NASTY , are you going to let @Ithanul have all the WC'd GTX 980 Ti fun?
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-1996-KR 6GB HYBRID GAMING

I'm workin on it.

I love hardware. What are you getting? Don't laugh at the emachine this time.

Why would a GTX 960 need two 6 pins for power?

Ithanul · Jan 27, 2016

Been trying to get a peep to play ball at selling a 970 G1 gaming to me. But not willing to take my offer. Must think his card is gold or something.
Offered to buy the darn thing for 270. I think that a pretty darn fair price for a used 970.

Currently trying to nab some server RAM atm. I got that darn itch to build a 2P/4P system. Going to slowly get the parts to build one up.

Hope to get one built before the next BOINC Pentathlon shows up.

hertz9753 · Jan 27, 2016

A GTX 970 should be selling for about $270 or lower but demand is high right now.

PP Mguire · Jan 27, 2016

So yesterday had my machine shut off disaster, and this morning came into an email that seems like I might lose a Z620 and my Z440. PPD bout to go down

There used ones all over the place. You just got dumb nuts willing to pay 300 for used ones. I managed to get a different guy to go down to 275. So I got a 970 G1 Gaming on the way. :cool:

Heck, may as well resell this 970 Turbo since I can't get a full block for it.

Newegg is selling the Asus GTX 970 STRIX for $300 after a $20 MIR AND it comes with Rise of the Tomb Raider, a $60 game. Used 970;s should be under $250. :shadedshu:

Why does any GPU need 2x 6 pin, is what I's like to know, when a single 8 pin will do the same thing.

The third WU I got is a 10494 (10, 6, 37) that makes my system basically unusable. 74K PPD though. Also, this has heated my CPU up about 7-10 degrees. I need to move some things around, again.

Look at the memory usage. I made a post some weeks ago. It steals + 1 GB. And I had the same problem with a slow response. I let them run on my two dedicated rig but I kill any at :love:

0% progress on my daily rig if I'm home. I fold but not at any price.

Edit: Just got one on my 2x970 rig. Starting out low with only 650 MB RAM 2 % in.

6.5GB used! I have WCG set to 75%, and it's currently working on FAAH2, CEP2 and one OET. I'm seeing system utilization spikes to 98%, and an almost constant 89% utilization.

(and then it got quiet)
Transient power event shut down everything. Very rare here. All's good, everything back to work.

OK CEP2 takes up some but the culprit is the 10494 you need + 8 GB RAM doing WGC/Firefox not to notice a slowdown. Stanford don't seems to care but do they ever? Look at my last post there (old 9430 issue, not related just showing how I feel about lack of response to issues, i did bring up the 10494s some time ago as well).

Edit: my 10494 is up to 850 MB now.

Mine cost me $20

thanks to MicroCenter's extended warranty program I had on my HD 7870 lol

It's been released:

BUCK NASTY · Jan 29, 2016

Guy's, don't forget to switch over this weekend to team #37726 if you are joining the Hounds for the Retirement Party/Folding War. It's only a week and we'll be back up to speed before you know it.

When we return, I will have taken @thebluebumblebee 's advice by adding 2816 Water Cooled Cuda Cores to the farm.

:toast:

DarthBaggins · Jan 29, 2016

Watercooling is where it's at, and it's addictive

PP Mguire · Jan 29, 2016

I didn't think ahead. I'm off tomorrow and didn't switch, so I'll be a bit late on the swap.

I'm away for the duration so mine have to stay at TPU. Did you end up with a EVGA?

Going by average PPD Buck gets 825 PPD/3 GTX 970 running Linux (275K). I get 1150 PPD/4 GTX 970 running Win 7 (287.5K). I know that we both had have issues (lost internet) but Linux is not that much better.

DarthBaggins · Jan 29, 2016

But guessing Buck isn't running the Kraken too, also I'm still folding my 5830k alongside the 2 GPU's and still netting 500k PPD and the GPU's are at stock clocks right now (5930k is at 4.4 1.258 and can easily move to 4.6 at 1.312)
I always recommend adding key optimizations
client-type advanced
Next-unit-percentage 100
(On CPU) Max-packet-size small (with running alongside GPU's) big (10T +)

DarthBaggins said:

Correct, no Kraken installed on this rig. I was always under the impression that Kraken only helped CPU folding..... Had it on both the 4P rigs.

I'm going to load Win 7 on a drive and run the 970's over the weekend to see if it increases ppd. :rockout:

hertz9753 · Jan 30, 2016

Linux is about 8 to 10% better in folding. We had contest with 3 GTX 980's folding at 1505 on the core and I was running Win 7, @msgclb was using Win 10 and the other guy was folding with Linux.

I still fold with Win 7 because Linux is a pain to learn and set up and I'm lazy.

DarthBaggins · Jan 30, 2016

Linux + Kraken is why I fold my cpu's since the 5930k gets some good numbers if I go full 12T even my 4790k scared some people w/ 5820k's in OCN Team Competition. It does help w/ the GPU's too from what I've noticed w/ my own rigs (really helped AMD GPU's in Linux)
