Treat yourself and replace the lot :D :laugh: ;)

I would say not to really base it on how long jobs take so much.. Some jobs I've had can take an hour, others take 6 hours on my 1080 Ti.... I think it's very much luck of the draw with them :( :) That also said, what would you use a GPU for in another rig? Would it be for just folding or would there be gaming or as you've mentioned decoding involved? :) If you're going to get something to replace something, then make sure it does it well and some again.
My advise is never skimp on it and you'll end up saving money even when things do cost a little more. Ironic to say it costing more but my way of thinking is very much like this. Will this card do whatever I ask of it right now? Yes? Ok, what's the next step up and how much faster is it.. If it's worth the extra and jump in performance, then I'd say go for it.

I went form a GTX 1070 to two 1080 Ti's, I've never looked back (one would have done but things happen :laugh:) You pay the price for the sheer grunt and such for buying a more expensive card make no mistake... But if I had wanted a jump in performance just like I did from my 1070 to a 1080 Ti, then the only real step forward is two 2080 Ti's which would cost double again what my 1080's cost... I'm not really able to spend that kind of cash at the moment, but if I could? Nope. It's not a big enough jump in performance for me from the cost...
Even with decoding as well, a faster GPU works wonders compared to a slower one.... :) (I base that on a blu ray ripping program I use.. The 1080 Ti compared to my 5960X @ 4.20GHz, takes less than half the time to encode in comparison... 2.5 hours for the CPU, about 30 to 40 minutes for the GPU :)
The 6 hour job I used in my calculations was just an example. I only wanted to see how efficient these different GPUs are. I mean, it's cool that my GT 610 only needs 29 Watts, but it needs that for hardly getting any work done. :laugh: The GT 1030 also needs 30 Watts, but seems to be similarly efficient as the 1660 Ti that I have in my main rig (I mean, the work that gets done per every Watt consumed is similar, which can't be said about the poor GT 610).

I like your attitude that "skimping costs more in the long run". :) I share it in general, that's why I invested in the best quality components (in their class) for my main rig, but this HTPC is different. It's been a "2nd hand project" of mine (I only used extremely cheap, randomly found or unwanted second hand components to build it), but the 4K 60 Hz signal output via HDMI and H.265 decoding are something I've wanted for a while. The thing is, £80 on a graphics card that I only use for watching films every now and then sounds a bit too much, not to mention, it breaks the second hand nature of the build. But you're right, I have more than one purpose that I need the card for, so I've got the 1030 on order now. :D Besides its HTPC purposes, if I can use it to fold 24/7 without getting huge electricity bills, it's gonna be great! :cool:

I've been folding with my new rig for a few days now and I'm not happy with CPU temps of 89°c when running at 100%.
(Room temp is 24°c and the CPU at idle is 42-48°c)
So I think I'll move the Folding Power slider to "Light" (=7 CPUs) and 83°c until I get new thermal paste. I think I may have messed it up when trying to mount my cooler... the clips and levers were a bit fiddly and I am pretty sure that I lifted the cooler up off the CPU at one point.

From what I read on the official F&H forum 7 CPUs is a bad idea. Try 6 and have a look at the forum for further explanation of why.

Can you fold with multiple GPUs at the same time? I have my GT 1030 sitting on the desk doing nothing, and it'd be great to run it in tandem with my GTX 1060 6GB to complete the work more efficiently. Although I'm not sure how exactly the workload gets delegated to each card, whether they get separate jobs or instead a single job gets split between them.

I think the client app sets it to 6 as soon as you get a work unit anyway.
@BlackSun59: I'd rather get a new cooler if I were you. A fresh thermal paste can get you maybe 5 °C down, but that's still pretty hot.

I think you can, though I'd be pretty curious to see if it works with different GPUs. I'm not sure if the driver can handle them at the same time, but if it can, I'm sure you'll get separate jobs for each card.
What I know for sure is that you can fold on multiple computers with the same account.

You can fold with multiple GPUs, the client will acquire a work unit for each GPU in the system.

Yes it will but you have to add the second GPU (Configure/Slots, add GPU, save)

As I've said many times before, folding and crunching aren't about max speed, they are about efficiency and power saving :) If you run the CPU/GPU at stock,I bet you'd be able to find a way of making it still run at stock speeds but with less volts and such, so that the temps run lower and you use less power :) I'll have to find the pics I took when I was mining with my 6 RX480's in the rig... The tweaked and non tweaked power draws will put water in your eyes....

What an awesome day everyone :D :D Massive congrats on the results, really great to see everyone joining in!! :D :D Hopefully tomorrow will be as good as always :D :D

Right best get on with it and do todays update hadn't I?? :D :D

Five GPUs getting cold. They are are stuck on downloads, just a head up to others. I got tired of pause/fold and went the alternative route with a complete PC restart on three of the fours rigs. That lead to actual start of downloads that eventually get stuck and fails. Tomorrow morning will be a cold one.

It does certainly seem to be hit and miss whether or not you can get something or not... Yesterday I had one GPU working and another not.. Then the other and then not the other one... Very frustrating but meh :D As long as they are going elsewhere and not being wasted....

Well another great load of milestones hit today!! :D :D I see some new faces showing up that actually have accounts here at TPU so that's great to see !! :D :D

Another brilliant day folding by the looks of it as well, man we are flying!! :D :D Massive thanks to everyone and congrats to anyone contributing.. As a post or two above, there's still seems an odd few dry patches which are a shame but if you're having issues getting the work units please do let us know :) It's just a little help for the rest of the members if they are having issues as well :)

My GT 1030 arrived yesterday! :cool:

I ran some quick tests to see if it's going to be happy to fold in my HTPC, but they weren't very successful. Everything was fine under light load (3DMark 05-06), but under heavy load (3DMark 11, Superposition), the screen went black every couple seconds. I popped the 1030 into my main rig, and all the issues were gone. I have no idea what might be wrong. :confused:

Well guys and gals, I would normally be posting up some stats but since Free-DC hasn't loaded them correctly, I'm taking tonight off for the FAH Pie :D :laugh:

Hopefully tomorrow, I will be able to update with some actual results :) Apologies guys!

EDIT - !! Well I guess I shouldn't have pressed that F5 button for refreshing stats else I wouldn't be doing this.... :laugh: Here's some numbers from the 6th May 2020....
