@windwhirl I wanted a plain RTX 2060, but they have disappeared. I got a EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 Super SC Ultra Gaming for a decent price. Even so, I had to pay $60 (US) over list. With my "vin ordinaire" 1070 I got 900 - 1000K PPD. F@H and HFM say I'm going to get 2 million+. We shall see.

Still seems like quite the upgrade for a potentially insignificant power increase (175 vs 150 W TDP), if you ask me.

I am running my Titan X Pascal with MSi Afterburner with sliders all the way to the left, to minimize heat and noise output. It's running in a small case.
And I am now considering replacing it with a GTX 1080, and the Titan X going into a flightsim rig.
Now I'm stuck on what card to install, Founder's Edition or Palit with dual fan.
This case only has one 92 mm fan to expel hot air.
What would be the quietest option?

NastyHabits · Nov 15, 2020

Here's the first day results of my RTX 2060 Super vs my GTS 1070. The dips are from days I wasn't home and shut things down.

Jacky_BEL · Nov 15, 2020

That's a giant leap in terms of performance-per-watt.

@Jacky_BEL My post was the result of one day with no change in settings. At those settings the 2060 Super used 70 more watts than my 1070 which I ran with reduced settings to keep it quiet. I've since reduced the settings on the 2060 to keep the watts low and have in run at advertised speeds. It now is running at just 35 watts greater than my 1070 and still giving me 2,000,000 PPD. Even at the non-reduced settings the 2060 was quiet.

I would go for the Founder Edition if I were limited to one 92 mm fan. The Palit will run with 100% fan speed so the difference in sound pressure will not be great but there is only one way to know for sure. Do you have both cards?

Jacky_BEL · Nov 15, 2020

Yes, I have both.
The Palit was supposed to go in the flightsim rig, and then i picked up the Titan X at a bargain price.
I decided to test it first with folding, but running it 24/7 at stock is getting me tropical room temperatures.
And I have another 1080 FE in my collection as a spare.

This PC i was using for testing, was my PC for daily use.
But folding on it gives me headaches. My browsers keeps jumping pages back and forth.
So I now am using a really old 3rd PC as daily driver.

Yep, I checked the F@H ppd database list and it is ranked quite high.

Jacky_BEL · Nov 17, 2020

I just started a test with the Palit dual and an Asus aero GTX 1080 in similar small cases to see the difference.
Limited the power setting at first, because they are running unattended.
Is there an easy way to get statistics per running machine?

Found it, thanks to an old post from @mstenholm :

It will only show you the last job. To get the whole story you need to install HFM.net

Jacky_BEL · Nov 18, 2020

Aargh , don't you just want to kick some microsoft guys in the nuts sometimes ...
I went to check up on the folding PC's, and one had a restart pending for updates.
So I let the workunit finish, quit folding, let updates install, restart and ... black screen and beeping.

I have to look into it later.

NastyHabits · Nov 24, 2020

Blasted Internet! :banghead:

My dedicated folder, cruncher, HTPC machine lost connection to the internet AND my home network for an entire day. Grrr! Shutdown/Restart fixed it, but since the Pandemic hit, it's getting worse, and worse. I'll be running HFM on my daily driver PC full-time now.

Jacky_BEL · Nov 25, 2020

I have 1 machine idling , waiting on a new assignment.
Error messages
"WorkServer connection failed on port 8080 trying 80"
"Failed to connect to 129.213.157.105"
Restarting the PC didn't help.

I noticed the Covid moonshot was nearing 100% completion, maybe somehow related ?

Same here as well, one down and attempting to get another WU. The other is still folding but the logs show that error about an hour ago (log time 22:42)

Looks like Stanford's starting the holiday early.

My cards are getting cold, better turn up the heating now.

Folding@home Server Stats page
On the server stats page, last contact was at "2020-11-25T00:22:29Z"
Only 7 servers had contact later than that moment, the last one being at 2020-11-25T00:22:35Z .

I just refreshed Server Stats page and stats seem better now.
Yep, better dial the heating back down.

Nordic · Nov 25, 2020

It looks like I haven't been folding since 2016 according to my stats. https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=user&proj=fah&name=james88850711

Today I begin again, with a 1060ti 3gb. Now I need to learn how to configure this properly again.

The more, the merrier

I've noticed that free-dc stats are not always accurate.
According to F@h stats, it hasn't been that long ago, you can check it out yourself here: Folding@home stats report

I do not remember folding in 2019.

In taskmanager you can select CUDA to show in a graph, but after closing and reopening it is reset to the default graphs.
Does anyone know how to make the changes in graphs permanent?

It's hardcoded that way, from what I learned a while ago, so there's no way to perma-change it.

Made a little gaming rig (out of the Folding GTX970) for a friend hence the drop in PPD.
hoping to upgrade my entire rig in a few months but for later(installing OS) i still have a Radeon R9 280x to start Folding no idea what the PPD on it is but i see that later

And trying to get that R7 Folding as well :peace:

/Reports back(EDIT) that is one broken GPU... return to sender

The amount of faulty 280X's I had years ago I gave up with them and just skipped the series... I've only recently bought a 290X and I'm very lucky and grateful, that hasn't been the same when I've tested it... I don't think that the 280X's would be that great to fold on, lots of power and not masses of performance

Which GPU had died??

None of mine could keep the default clock either, some had to be downclocked, some just died. Not AMDs finest serie :ohwell:

Nordic · Nov 27, 2020

I installed FAH incorrectly the first time and had to reinstall. It looks like I didn't set a team the second time around. This has been corrected. I should be producing just under 500,000ppd for the team now.

I just got rid of them, never kept them in the system very long as every single one just articfacted when I'd run at stock... They went right back to the seller ...

@Nordic thank you for the great support!!
