Just rubbing it in my face

But no, that's awesome!

Not at all @manofthem . I cant believe it. It was jumping from 870k to 910k tho. Just wondering how much Pascal can do.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Just thought I would share.

Are you aware chrome (the browser) has a remote desktop app that's free and very good I use it to remote monitor my pc atm and can't recommend it enough, I can even reboot and login etc though you do need to jump through a few minor login detail hoops the first time.

I did try it once, and it worked well. I've been used to TeamViewer so I've been using that, but the Chrome remote desktop it solid.

Yep, I'm liking the P9206. Currently producing 869K PPD @ 1455mhz core. Water cooling helps keep the 980ti @ 44c.

 

[mx500torid]

Looks like the Ti decided to take a vacation and Im 100 miles away. Ill be down for a few days enjoying the cabin.

Alright guys, had to put folding on hold while this WCG Challenge rages; need all available threads. As soon as it's over, I'll resume and push forward.

 

[mx500torid]

Im back home. Internet went down. Thats why no points for me. Back up now gonna try to make up some of those points. 980Ti was downclocking like crazy on Win 10. Everytime I would open a web page, start a game, or even open control panel I would get message Nvidia driver has stopped working and reset. Core would be at 405. I would have to reboot comp. I found what looks like the cure. 12 hours and doing well at 1350 core.

Well I thought I put it on hold but apparently it's been folding. I deleted the gpu slot and it looked like it stopped.

But just checked because things didn't look right, and it somehow added back in the gpu and cpu slots, while I set it to crunch on the full 8 threads

Very strange. Just deleted cpu and after current wu finishes, I'm going to stop it through the Challenge. Just very surprised that this happened.

If you re-start the program and it sees empty slots it will add both CPU and GPU.

Hey guys, game giveaway going during the WCG Challenge. All ya'll folders are welcomed to jump in too!

So the new GTX 1080 is not a monster folder - http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/772537-Torin3-s-GTX-1080-Folding-thread/page3
At stock (forced 85 % fan on a FE) it does 750-850k PPD. Considering it runs at 1860 MHz that is not great numbers but far better than the old king at stock. We still have to see how it does on the "good" WUs (9135, 10490 and so on) where GTX 980 Ti OC'ed numbers are available - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vcVoSVtamcoGj5sFfvKF_XlvuviWWveJIg_iZ8U2bf0/pub?gid=0 .

Waiting for GTX 980Ti prices to drop and I'll pick up another. Gotta admit, I'm impressed at what Nvidia did with the 1080.

Sure 95 % calculated consumption on a 8 wire supply and 850k PPD is good. I think that my 260 (14k PPD) took up the same amount of juice.

Wish I could pull this off all day everyday...

I picked up 2, new looking, Asus GTX 970 STRIX for $300 (for both) from CL! They, unfortunately, will not be for F@H. Others are on there for $210-240 and not moving. And then there's this: EVGA GTX 980 Hydro Copper - $300 GTX 980 Ti's for $400!

That really is an awesome score! I checked my CL yesterday and it was fairly lame! No amazing deals like you found.

Pretty much the same story here. Never anything worth a crap.

Seattle and Portland area has some smoking deals a lot of times. Good score as Manofthem stated @thebluebumblebee

I take WTB requests. Ask @BUCK NASTY . I found those 970's because I was looking for a 970/980 for one of my son's friends. Tell me how much you're willing to spend on what GPU and I'll keep an eye out for it, with the consideration of my time, distance to the CL listing, and shipping costs. If I can't directly help F@H, maybe I can help indirectly.

We have Intel in this area and Seattle has Microsoft. We need someone in the Seattle area to "harvest" some of the low hanging fruit for the team.

Hmm, I actually have a couple of cousins in the Seattle area. I should check with the one as he has liquid cash. He has worked for Boing for 20 some years and is about to retire. He could grab some of these "smoking" deals.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

smoking

Smoking's okay, hot is not. I try as hard as I can to make sure that the items that I buy from CL are not stolen. I see lots of suspicious listing near the I-5 corridor. It is known that stolen items are transported up and down I-5. I watch CL so closely that sometimes I think that I can pick out an individual criminal seller. Someone who's parting out too many systems for instance. The "I'm leaving the area in a few days." or an out of area phone number are all red flags to me. No original boxes, misspelling part numbers, or saying something that just doesn't make sense (socket 1155 E5-2687W? Riiiiiiight) causes me to look elsewhere.

Now that we have new gpu's coming in from both camps it may be time to pick up some nice folding cards at good prices from last generation.

What are the best value cards to pick up for folding? Are the GTX 7 series cards still decent for folding?

Also wondering how well the GTX 1070/1080 and Radeon RX 480 cards will do?

Thoughts?

GTX 980 Ti-$400
GTX 980-$300
GTX 970-$200
GTX 960 and 950-$100

The GTX 680 and 770 are pretty much the same cards and they put up numbers less than a 950. The GTX 780 is a little better than a 960 and the 780 Ti is around a 970 for PPD

The early points for the 1070 and 1080 are good but they are always cherry picked for PPD. I have seen 600k for the 1070 and that would put it around a 980 Ti and over 1 million for the 1080.

I didn't see any number for the 1070 but the 1080 with an OC does 750k and above. As hertz said 1M is possible with the right WU.
