I still need a team -
@BWG may be pulling 34 million PPD right now, but he still can't seem to pass me (and stay ahead). If he could ever fold at full capacity for more than two days at a time, then I might be in trouble! And I still plan to make sure he doesn't win the folding competition next week!

Sounds like @damric has learned enough to be a captain. @BWG just volunteered to use team view for everyone on your team!!
-
I don't know. 17 years doesn't seem like that long!
-
I'm interested. The Quadro P620 should be good to go. What do you need me to do?
-
You're getting a bit small in my rear view mirror. Are you still back there? Or am I looking at dust?
-
It arrived a day early!

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.

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
