  1. I mean specs wise, there wasn't really much of an uplift in...anything. Marginal memory speed increase from 22.5Gbps to 23Gbps, and only 5% additional cores. All worked out, means marginal uplift probably closer to the 2-3% range which is well within margin of error. Really all this release is, is a 4080 at $999 MSRP because for whatever reason Nvidia didn't want to just officially price-cut the existing model as probably some marketing tactic. Which is weird since they did the 4070, but what do I know. Edit: I'll be honest, a couple week ago I thought maybe the performance would scale up a bit better, but frankly the 4070 Ti Super launch last week dashed that idea. So I think this is pretty expected for the 4080 Super. Funny because I'd say $999 is still too much.
  2. That was a lot of fun and really my first time really folding. Look forward to next year!
  3. I dropped my 3080 Ti FE to 85% power which dropped it from 350W stock to 290-300W and only lost 11k points on a large WU (projecting 864k instead of the 875k at 100%).
  4. I've seen this occasionally over the last couple months. A refresh solved it for me most times, so I never really thought anything of it.
  5. Well, tried running at 50% power (about 150w) overnight and room still hotboxed and @damricadded another million between us. Back to full bore now, but not home so just hoping nothing crashed as I try to catch up. Hoping to gett some more 500-900k WUs to close the gap But based on last night will have to just shut down for the night again like I was before.
  6. Lost about 1.3ish Million points yesterday in a random Windows update/reboot killing a 90% done 850k WU and another crash that I didn't notice for 2 hours. But got things running again today and starting to rack up some points. Nothing like a lot of you guys, but happy to be getting some points in.
  7. CST is just UTC-6 so basically go back 6 hours from UTC end time and that is your end time. Mine is UTC-7.
  8. Basically what I have now. An Interstate battery from Costco. But I think they reduced their warranty on it, so not as nice a deal as it was back then. Yeah that was the issue I ran into last week. It was -24F with wind chill and car was like nope, meanwhile everyone else in the complex seemed to be able to start their cars. So thinking mine is just too old at this point.
  9. I don't know why but this image makes me think of the Bitconnect guy if you remember him from a few years back. Now just gotta picture Jensen..."Hey hey hey...." Yes, exactly. I'm all for busting Nvidia's chops here, but to call the 4070 a 4050 is disingenuous. 4070 is basically a 4060 Ti and the original 4070 Ti should have just been the 4070. That would have at least matched the precedence of the previous generation's slotting (minus the 3070 Ti I suppose).
  10. Yeah I need to get a new battery myself. Died in the cold last week and then I looked up when I bought it and it was 6 years ago.
  11. 60-class, not 50. I'd say the 4060 is the 4050, the 4070 is the 4060 Ti. And the 4060 Ti is the 4060.
  12. I was wondering what was going on with the [H] website. Thanks for posting here.
  13. Ah probably bad work units then as the card is currently running stock and I was not home most of the day, so didn't cancel anything. I'll tick that setting, thanks.
  14. Ah ok, cool. I've passed that then and confirmed getting bonus now with that link you provided. It mentioned 2 expired WU's. What makes a WU expire? I'm finishing up another WU now and then will have to shut it down for the night and will resume tomorrow. Gotta say, this is fun. Hope to get a place where I can eventually get a basement or something I can setup to just run all the time.
  15. Har har Seriously though, I hope you do! Is that total, or each time you start up?
  16. I will do when I can. Yeah I have door open and window popped open. Still hotboxes like crap. My condo isn't your house. I started up the 3080 Ti 2 hours ago since I left the house and won't be back in another 3-4 hours, so will see how that goes. This is also my daily use rig so won't be folding when I am using it in the evening before bed. I will do what I can though when I can. Better than nothing.
  17. Well its basically a $999 4080. With 5% more cores, I wouldn't expect it to be much different.
  18. Do I need to setup anything other than making sure I am representing Team 239902?
  19. 4070 Ti was the full AD104 die and was originally slated to be the "4080 12GB". 4070 Super was definitely a good uplift, but I still don't like the $600 price.
  20. What a joke. Guess only thing going for it is 16GB and if you care about RT, that aspect will outperform a 7900 XT. Otherwise 7900 XT looks like the better card to get for raster and 20GB. Honestly would have expected it to close the gap on the 4080 better than it did, but guess not. So far the Super series refresh is wholly underwhelming. Hope sales continue to slump.
  21. Still looks the other way to me. Could maybe be table width when viewing on my laptop?
  22. Looks good. One thing I noticed is threads with "solved" icon look like this. Not sure if you wanted it above the thread title, or in-line?
  23. I can try here and there, but I can't run all the time like you guys so don't expect much in the point department sadly. so.... in - SirB
  24. Personally never even heard of that forum before.
