  1. I MIIIIIGHT be back in business. we'll see what it does.
  2. I think my RX580 might be done. will know for sure in a day or two.
  3. folding, duh! already moved the folding VM over to it. just a few more VMs to go.
  4. you may have noticed a hiccup in my stats. saying goodbye to the old rig and hello to this:
  5. I've got a GTX 660 collecting dust...
  6. Got my new USB card, so far no issues with sound or HID!
  7. I'm still working on getting audio and HID reliable. temporarily using the demo version of VirtualHere with a logitech unifying receiver. that seems to work fine. I'm using my monitor's sound device over DP for stereo sound, but it has glitches. I may try something like PulseAudio, SoundIt, or Icecast. steam streaming off this worked fine (so there's hope for those methods), but I really want my 3.1 audio vs stereo.
  8. Here's my uniRig for anyone curious: Dell Precision WorkStation T7500 12 CPUs x Intel Xeon CPU X5690 @ 3.47GHz Memory: 116 GB it's currently 9 computers
  9. I should be folding. config is a bit weird, and you may have to delete a single CPU WU from when I started (not deleting WU but hit finish and pause-on-start until I can clear the slot). I still have to figure out auto-login so folding starts after reboot. the normal method doesn't work, so I'll have to try the regedit method.
  10. I was hoping for this weekend but fedex is delayed.
  11. I mean it is (was) an x58 system, so that's kind of a loaded question but it had been fine folding for a while, but I've known the system was EOL. I was hoping for a bit more time before I had to start building a new one.
  12. FYI i'm down for the count at the moment, my machine won't pass the bios at default settings. I may be able to temp with my W6600 Pro, but for the moment I am not folding.
  13. so the TDB is I have dead/failing PCIe lanes/slots, looks like it's time to start speccing out a new build.
  14. ok cool. I picked up a new GPU, hopefully to game on, so this one doesn't have to stop folding so I can game. but that doesn't mean I "couldn't" fold on it instead... honestly the RX580 leaves a lot to be desired now that I have a 3840x1080 display. theoretically the new one should have twice the FPS for roughly half the power draw.
  15. does LARS look at gpu NAME, or does it look at the chip version? i've not looked at it real hard, but F@H client sees my GPU as a "480/580" GPU. Just wondering how specific this is for the sake of what's close enough.
  16. Working on re-doing my rig to run win10, expect poor PPD from yesterday through TBD. I did something with my $25 prize! SOUL CRUSHER v2.mp4 @Avacado
  17. So where do workstation cards fit into this? classed like their desktop counterparts? I've got a W6600 Pro on backorder. Because... reasons.
  18. So I decided it was time to upgrade to win10, because I'm tired of games not liking win7 anymore. well win10 has other ideas, and nothing I can do will get the installer to boot. so I started looking at what I could build to replace my X58 build - (by the way my current dual socket 1366 ESXi host runs win10 on bare metal just fine) I happen to think the EPYC 75F3 is great. so does the threadripper pro team, because they have one half price called the TRP 3975x. only $2500! add a FirePro W6800 and I can have an all AMD build (because if you go to the 5950x page, and click on the dell alienware aurora https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5950x yes go ahead and click on that. what's on the other side? oh yes, it's this with no option to change the GPU: LOL. anyways a TRP build would cost something like $3500 if I don't upgrade my GPU, PSU or or case (GPU? in this market? HA!) so what's my other option? well, I could install a hypervisor on my current rig and pass my GPU through to a VM. that'll cost me the price of a flash drive to install ESXi on. Thoughts?
  19. forgot to pause folding when launching Doom Eternal, comp got stupid, reset it, refused to fold after. had to nuke F@H.
  20. FYI I "broke" my folding setup and lost a WU or 2. should be back in business.
  21. harrow. I hear this is where the folding happens.
  22. I like this thread. Can I pass someone?
  23. which folder are you donating your old card to? I think this is the important question here.
