Folding Pie and Milestones!!

[hertz9753]

When I started folding I think had an Intel Q9450 and a BFG 8800gt. I think sold the 8800 to@ion and he put a huge battle axe cooler on with zip ties

Woot Woot eating up that pie on a daily basis
and close to already hitting 3mill

O you just wait till I get all mine going. Right now busy adjusting to college classes and getting all the parts for the rebuild of the folder rig. Just nab some more radiators and another res/pump combo.

I know, I got bad addiction to parts. Now if I can get my hands on a 980Ti.

 

[PP Mguire]

I can't wait until Pascal. If all goes well I should have 3 of those bad boys folding away, plus the Titans and Quadro cards.

 

[Ithanul]

Mmmm, I really hope Pascal stands up to all the hype on it. I hope big Pascal won't take to long to show up.

 

[hertz9753]

I think it will be another year before people see the Ti version of the big Pascal.

 

[DarthBaggins]

Well hoping it does better than the weak HBM on the Fury's since they aren't generating the high PPD I was expecting (glad I didn't buy one) but of course I haven't had a go w/ one in Linux either

 

[Ithanul]

Well, that gives me more time to save up and for my sign up bonus to show up. Plus, want to get me one of those 10C/20T monsters when they show up and finish the mods on the main rig. Still got to smack that 915F onto my Haf X. Need moar cooling!!

They better release the Titan version this March or I'll be an AMD customer. Seriously, Titan X is good, but the performance is pretty underwhelming to me.

 

[hertz9753]

Maybe AMD will have a Fury XI rev. 2 by then... I'm going to stick with my ATI Rage 128 Fury.

Yeah, after they announced that card was gimped in compute area. I stayed away from the Xs. It no true Titan. Pascal though is suppose to have compute brought back. So hope the next one is a beast of a card like my OG Titans where when they came out. They old, but they can still kick butt at certain tasks.

Yea when I got the Titans I got them because they were full Maxwell. I was hoping 3 overclocked would be enough for 4k but it's not really. I'm just glad I didn't have spend full price for them all. Pascal is supposed to be FP16 oriented though.

 

[DarthBaggins]

Yeah needing 3+ just for 4K was a turn off for me on the Titan X's since last I remember the Titan is supposed to be the top o the line for Nvidia Gaming, but can't wait for Pascal then I might look further into 4K since I'm currently happy with 1080P (144hz)

Really in most cases it's fine, I just don't like to turn down settings. At 1440p I was consistently in the 120fps range with any game maxed but the instant I jump to 4k with this setup I can sometimes see drops in the 30s which to me isn't acceptable. Some games I forgive the cards because it's the game and not the hardware, but most others it's just a lack of power. Maxwell was definitely not Nvidia's answer to 4k and it's apparent.

 

[DarthBaggins]

Yeah kind of why my 970 has been a good card for 1080p (75-125fps), but haven't even upped to 1440p yet either (just need to find a good deal on a pair o' monitors and to offload my current set)

 

[PP Mguire]

In my case I owed my gf a new TV so was an excuse to buy a 4k.

 

[DarthBaggins]

Yeah I'm in need of a bigger TV, sold my 47" Vizio last year, so time to up to a 50" 4K lol

 

[Ithanul]

If I had the room I test my old Titans on my huge Dell 1600p Ultrasharp. Though it got a bit of a odd ratio, which is the major reason I never really gamed on it.

 

[hertz9753]

I had to resize the screen on my 55" Samsung TV to play games on it. My computer monitor is an ASUS 24" 1080P

 

[DarthBaggins]

yeah do like my dual 23.6" IPS's, and gaming on anything over 32" is actually over-kill (but still cool)

I prefer it honestly. I started monitor gaming with an overclocked Samsung 40" 1080p and when I moved bought myself an ROG Swift. I sold the Swift because I prefer playing on the TVs.

 

[Ithanul]

I never been much for gaming on big screens. Hard for me track across them. I tend to stop at 30 inch. My fav was my 19 inch TV that I use to game on with my consoles. Current is my 24 inch IPS LG Flatron I been rocking for many years.

 

[PP Mguire]

Tomorrow I'm setting up my laptop for Steam streaming to play Rocket League on my projector. Idk, I just like my field of vision being filled or else I get distracted now.

 

[PP Mguire]

Where's the pie at?

 

[mstenholm]

^This one?

Milestones Today
Ithanul passes 2,000,000 Part time folder so not bad at all
msgclb passes 85,000,000 Full throttle and his way to 100 M PPD

The snow is melting in Denmark so AMDs are off again. It seems like I'm beaten by better/more HW
