The 3070 is going to a coworkers son since I was able to get a 3080ti yesterday. Though, my wife didn't balk at the fact I bought two cards, so I'll be on the hunt for another sooner than later! (I don't think she realizes how much I spent)

I should have my 3080ti running this weekend. That will speed up the overtake If @BWG keeps his cards folding, he'll pass you within 2 weeks!

Unfortunately, I don't have screenshots. But, you can easily subtract our points for today and see that I was ahead at the end of the day yesterday! End of day yesterday... @firedfly 189,659,224 points @BWG 183,954,201 points

If that's all you have, I could *almost* beat you with hardware that I own this time. I won't be renting the cloud gpus this time around...unless @BWG is in the lead. I can't let that guy win!

So, the important thing that you missed is that I passed you a few days ago. You just hit the gas and by the time you checked you were ahead again

I picked up a 3080ti today. I plan to fold with that, but can't commit to 24/7 on it right now. I have a quadro p620 that I can have running 24/7 for the team... If you are interested in it.

IN firedfly

I wish!

Returned a power supply to MicroCenter and picked up this:

Now you have me second guessing my choice. Perhaps I should have gone with the platinum to save a few bucks. I need to stop thinking about it. I ordered the titanium, I'm sticking with it.

If you need someone to swap in for you, I have a Quadro P620 (in Linux) that I can fold on. What SF PSU were you having problems with?

I had thought about that. I was hesitant due to some recent reviews where people received bad units. Also, the titanium had more PCIe cables ? It should be here on Friday, so I'll have the weekend to get it running.

So, during the next folding challenge, you'll borrow your wife's rtx3080! Does your mom have a rtx3080 as well?

After mulling it over for a few days, I just bought at 1000w titanium Super Flower PSU. Should have plenty of power and connectors for two cards and it was on sale! https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-titanium-sf-1000f14ht-1000w/p/1HU-024C-00012?Item=9SIAMNPAZB3501 Thanks for all of the advice!

Yes. Microcenter isn't a requirement, but makes it easy since I was picking up other parts there. I ended up getting the 850w seasonic for now. That should work for the single 3070. If I get another card in the future, I can pick up a bigger PSU. I have a few old psus in use, so it will always be good to have a nice spare around if I upgrade later.

I'm eying this 1000w Super Flower. Any thoughts on it before I pull the trigger? https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-v-gold-pro-sf-1000f14tg-1000w/p/1HU-024C-00035

I checked a review on the Seasonic and it comes with 3 PCIe cables. Each has two connectors for a total of 6 PCIe connectors. Is there any issue using 2 connectors from the same cable to power the GPU?

The card is an Asus Tuf 3070. It won't be available for pick up until next week. However, it looks like it has 2x8pin connectors on it. Where did you find the connector info on those PSUs? The info on Microcenter's website lists both as having 6x6+2pin. I just looked at a review of the Seasonic and it also lists it as having 6 PCIe connectors. I plan to pick up a Gigabyte x570 Aurus Pro WiFi with a ryzen 3600 and a cheap 1x8gb stick of ddr4. Thanks for the input on the size of the PSU. I'll consider bumping up to a 1000w.

I just scored an rtx3070 from the Best Buy drop today. I plan to build a dedicated folding rig with it. I think I've figured out most parts I need to acquire. However, I wasn't sure if there were any recommendations for a power supply. It's been about a decade since I've purchased a PSU. Back then, I was picking up Corsair's AX series or SeaSonic power supplies. I'll be running this 3070 now and plan to pick up another 3070 or 3080 in the future. Does 850w sound reasonable? The two below are in stock at the local Microcenter: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GA 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold ATX Fully Modular Power Supply Seasonic USA FOCUS GX-850, 850W 80+ Gold Any thoughts on if either of this will work well? Any alternate suggestions?

Linux stats have been reported for both cards. The Linux stats only show on the overview page (https://folding.lar.systems/gpu_ppd/brands/nvidia/) and not on the card detail pages. I assume that will change sometime in the next day.

I realize that I was only setting the remote options in the FAHControl UI and that differs from the option you recommended. Unfortunately, manually setting that option (either with an IP range or specific address) results in a 403 error. I might be able to get this option working with more trial and error. However, the ssh port forwarding just works Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to work for the web client (or the folding in the dark extension). I had tried that earlier and was receiving a 401 error trying to access the web client remotely (http://ip:7396). Before modifying the web-allow setting I was receiving a different error (403, I believe). Your suggestion works great for access remotely via FAHControl or HFM. I've been doing that for a while.

In preparation for reporting to lars, I reset my folding settings to the default (any cause, removed the advanced flag). That is a HUGE ppd difference. I'm now getting less than half the ppd I was with customized settings. That is largely due to the fact that on these WUs, it takes too long to complete, so I don't get a QRB on the work. I expect later today we'll see some Linux stats appear for these cards. It doesn't appear that extension reports final wu stats. It reports current ppd stats every 30 minutes--which is good since these WUs will take another 1-2 days to complete.

I ended up installing Ubuntu in a VM that can do the port forwarding to the linux box with the quadro cards. Folding in the Dark was reporting the quadros as running in Windows when I was connecting from a windows computer. Now that I have the Ubuntu VM running the Folding in the Dark extension, it sends back properly as being run under Linux. I haven't seen the public site update yet, but every 30 minutes, folding stats are uploaded to lars by the extension.

The only downside I can see right now is that the CPU that is folding in the Linux box is identified as the CPU in the Windows computer. I guess the web client is somehow determining the CPU instead of querying FAHClient for that info. So, I expect lars to get results for a i7-4770 recorded for an i7-7700k. I guess I'll need to pause that CPU so it doesn't continue reporting the wrong stats. Going to lose ~40k ppd by not folding on that CPU! ? Actually, the fact that the CPU is being identified wrong makes me question if the stats for the quadro cards will even be recorded under Linux. If the web client determines the OS, then it will think it is running on Windows. I guess I'll find out when these units finish.
