I will not be joining this fold-athon as far as actively folding. I'm currently running the AI Pro R9700 32GB graphics card, and it uses those horrible 12 pin cables. I'm afraid of it melting, so I will not be participating. None have to date that I know of (brand new cards), but I have heard of a 9070 XT melting now with that plug. I do have lots of cards laying around that are 8pin PCIe (or 6 pin), that I absolutely WOULD trust. However the systems those are in are currently offline due to a bunch of system re-organizing going on right now at home, working on my home lab server.

Yup, same thing happens here. Really sad. As far as PD goes, there's still some really great, brave, selfless officers out there. They have my absolute utmost respect. Even locally though, I too have seen some cowardly police officers that, if I must be honest, really shouldn't have a badge. But yeah, how revolutionary, right? 2025, and the thought of asking people to do their dang job.......

I guess I forgot to keep this thread updated. Servers are still online, I'll have to update the thread later on as to the mods and stuff on there though. These have been running as "eXtremeGaming" servers since launch, and will continue to do so. However now that they've been featured in over a year's worth of youtube videos (on multiple channels), these are now considered OFFICIAL ExtremeHW servers. Thank you, and we'll be hosting even more servers for games very soon!

A lot of that going around too sadly yup. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) doctors here in the states aren't federal workers, so non applicable here for what's going on. Definitely agree though that Doctors should be held to a higher standard than just following the directions in their laptops for care. A lot these days don't even listen to their patients anymore because the laptop simply says give X medication. They give the real practiced doctors a bad name. Kind of similar though to this, you've got really great people in these programs, and you've got really horrible slackers that refuse to do their job (most just there to collect a paycheck in the latter situation). It is possible to have both going on at the same time in such big programs (or even Doctors offices if they're a multi clinic situation). I just wish people (in these types of positions) would just simply go to work, and do the best dang job that they can do, period. Doctors, SSI workers, bankers, X federal agency (whichever). They're there to HELP people, so do it. If you're not doing that, then go find another job. My opinion lol.

Nah dude, I can completely get that too. All my argument was, is just simply that most of these programs were either already inefficient or had horrible workers that didn't do their jobs to begin with. So I don't feel so bad over the people getting fired, IF, AND ONLY IF, its a legitimate firing due to poor work performance. Just like with every time recently in the last few decades that I've been watching, things will eventually work out. It just sucks in the interim. Really sorry to hear about your banking issues. I've had that happen a few times myself too and its 110% frustrating (and could even be deadly to the wrong people if they can't buy food or medicine). I also used to work in the banking industry, and I promise you.....its even worse internally. You know, getting rid of the "Former President's Act" could save us quite a bit of money, you're right. I'd have no problem personally with that program disappearing too! Seems it could be a decent solution, past Presidents have enough capital, they could hire their own private security (most do anyway).

Okay I'm going to be blunt about this one with my opinion here. Not exactly CISA related, but related due to it being a federal program...... I had to call the social security department (my kiddo is on social security for his disabilities) because they sent me a letter stating they were going to be cutting his funds off ENTIRELY because "he's fully capable of working". I called SSI, talked with a lady there who told me....and I quote, "You better learn to budget better then" and hung up on me after I responded with, "HE'S F***ing 9 YEARS OLD! What do you mean he needs to "budget better??????". What I'm getting at here, I'm perfectly fine with morons who willfully refuse to do their job, getting fired. Maybe they should learn to budget better too then, or do their jobs? Note about my story: I contacted the state representatives for senate in my area, and informed them of exactly what that cow told me, and she was promptly fired during these Trump administration lay offs. Her supervisor just called me a few weeks ago and apologized and informed me that, YES, he does qualify still (he's 9 and disabled due to autism). So yeah. I'm perfectly happy with that moron getting fired. And if these other people getting fired are anything like her.....good riddance! With my rant said, I DO feel bad for the people losing their jobs. That sucks. 100% it does. But I'm just saying, maybe there's a reason so many are getting laid off or fired?

Friendly reminder that Nvidia has and will always be, a software company. That's all this is.

After having mine installed since yesterday, yeah no its definitely faster than a 9070 XT. Idk by how much yet, but seat of the pants dyno = +50HP at least. It's not just a VRAM thing, I really don't get it. This card shouldn't be this good.

August 30th? I'll see if I can't get some systems fired up before then!

Updated OP and sharing the announcement on the discord since everyone's phones got spammed today. Sorry about that everyone.

Good evening everyone (or morning / day / whenever you see this)! Unfortunately our community has been hit with a giant spam attack today. We are not the only Invision community to have been hit by this type of attack in recent months apparently and it is still an ongoing attack on Invision communities. We are working on rolling the site back to this morning, so the spam can be removed. We're implementing the appropriate fixes right now on the back end. Hopefully, with any luck, this should be resolved moving forward. Please accept our apologies. The moderation team now has DIRECT contact information to both myself and the site owner in case this happens again in the future. Changes made so far: "Announcements" page on discord has been removed from general users temporarily to avoid spamming everyone's phones Spam protection on site has been changed to different levels than previous Currently registered spammers have been removed and banned Site has been rolled back to working status Normally for the end users of course, this information would typically be hidden. Well you guys know me, and I am just an end user. So in the effort of full transparency, there's where we're at. Thank you, ~Management

Thank you! It seems tons of people are using that same scripting that I used to make this, because that update broke things for a lot of people's GPGPU setups it seems lol.

Okay, scratch that update. NEW UPDATE: Windows released a NEW patch update, not sure what date. But the above update has already been patched up and my application here works again same as it did before. It's still not the best solution, but its the best I could come up with without using multiple GPU's in the system. Not really sure what Microsoft was up to with their updates this month, jeez. HOW TO FIX: If you run into an update this month giving you an issue, uninstall the latest QUALITY update (KB5062553). If its refusing to boot up, just power cycle it 3 times to get into recovery mode. Go under the advanced section, uninstall updates, and uninstall the latest quality update. Reboot, and it should be resolved, you'll get a new patch from July after that, and it should reboot one more time (after the latest patch / update), and you'll be golden again.

Wow. Now if only prices can come down to like, i dunno, Broadwell level, that'd be great so I can afford for my home lab!

Interesting solution. Let's see how that works out for them.

I would love to see this come back to EHW. I can't compete myself in it this year, too much stuff going on over here at the moment.

Latest July 8 Windows update broke this. Not sure why, but this no longer works. EDIT: The updates work perfectly fine on the HOST system, its the VM's that are effected. If you remove and prevent Windows from updating KB5062553 on the VM's, this still works.

One "bug" I'm aware of: File Pathing. I will issue a correction to this in the next few days, but for RIGHT NOW, the software is still using my custom pathing to my VM folders and ISO directories. I'll correct the default directories to actual Hyper-V defaults in the next few days and re-upload. For right now, you can work around it by making note of your Hyper-V Hard Disk folder in Hyper-V's configuration, and pathing to it during the correct prompt during install. This step will still apply if you're using a custom path in the future, my update will only correct this step so default pathing is the default location for my program. I've used this software on 2 very wildly different systems so far and no issues. Would love to hear feedback if it works for other people!

This. Thank you to everyone who did participate! I would have, but heat and a bunch of AMD garbage that's not worth folding on........

Updated OP: Confirmed working in Windows 10 and 11 host environments both (Pro and IoT versions). Parsec on Windows 10 hosts seems to be a known issue though from other people's reporting on the same script style I'm using. I do not know of a solution other than use Windows 11 host if you need Parsec. Otherwise, this program / script / batch file whatever, seems to work exactly as I intended it to do. I will have to update the batch file's default locations on everything to actual Windows Hyper-V default locations so that doesn't get confusing. You can ofc always type in a "custom" location during the install process to match your Hyper-V configuration, but it can get confusing though if you're still using default settings and don't think about it. So long as you're aware of that though (which I will update easily later on in another update), the program works great!

Corrected some issues with the original coding. Appears that no matter what I try to do, Hyper-V or the drivers or something appears to NOT listen to the limits I'm setting in the software. As such, I removed the GPU Partition Percentage options I had before, as they weren't doing anything at all. This program splits your GPU EVENLY among VM's. If there's no GPU load at all, your VM will have 100% of the GPU's capabilities. If 2 VM's are fighting for resources, each gets 50%. And so on. Updated OP with all new finalized information and installer downloads, new screenshots, and readme. This is possibly final "enough" version for me to release. Hope you guys enjoy it! Seems to be working solidly for me and I've tested it on a GTX 760 2GB, GTX 960 4GB, GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1080Ti 11GB, Intel Arc A770 16GB (was stuttery but worked, possibly REBAR issues), AMD RX 6500 XT 4GB and 8GB, RX 580 8GB, RX 7900GRE, RX 7900 XTX, and RX 9070 XT. So far, I have found absolutely no combination of cards or drivers that this program does NOT work in. Only tested in Windows 11. Released.

I'm not sure if I'll be in or not due to heat production.

What's even better is when your OWN damn phone number calls you to spam you. I've had that happen before a few times. Apparently since I've had my number for 2 decades, it's gotten around a little.
