@pio Since the other ones are in hours, I'd just keep it consistent and go with 168 hour. Good job everybody! I had a great time as always. Special thanks to @Bastiaan_NL for going above and beyond. I was on the fence about trying to go for a billion during the week or being content with what I was doing. You reminding me that I wasn't being EXXXtreme!!!11!! enough was a big help.

Unfortunately, no. The first gen Alchemist cards don't work at all due to not supporting FP64. Battlemage does but the PPD is pretty low. Like on par with older AMD low

Glad you were able to fire up a few old cards. Every little bit helps.

Time to start firing up everything you've got if you haven't done so yet!

I've purchased running vehicles for less than this handful of RAM... Both 48GB kits. Dominators are 7200CL36, Manta XFinity is an 8000CL38 CUDIMM kit.

I use LACT to lower power consumption on most of my Linux machines. GitHub - ilya-zlobintsev/LACT: Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool GITHUB.COM Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool. Contribute to ilya-zlobintsev/LACT development by creating an account on GitHub. Wish there was a Linux version of Afterburner since I like setting an undervolt curve vs just capping power limit. Pretty much all RTX 40 and 50 series are really efficient for folding and respond well to undervolt or power limiting.

Below is the average since September on my machine with a 5070 Ti. Running Windows since that's primarily a gaming machine. It's waterblocked on a MO-RA3, so it probably stays boosted a bit higher. Your results are within the range of what I'd expect. They are great cards.

I've always thought gaming chairs were a scam. If you want to spend decent money, at least get a good chair like a Stealcase or Herman Miller. Something that's actually rated to be sat in for hours at a time without wrecking your back. As for my most recent purchase... Picked up a delidded Core Ultra 265K. Now to track down a decent CUDIMM kit without selling any organs

I don't remember it activating a force field but I'll fire it up and find out soon. Might take it outside to bench it. Get all the snow on the back deck melted off

I'll be putting up good numbers for EHW regardless, although it's good to see a few more people in our corner.

18.5 mil PPD in a Windows gaming rig. When I get caught up on some other projects I'd like to see what it will do on Linux.

I've been replacing a lot of my older cards because I get tired of the office being an oven. It still is, but not as bad lol. Newer Nvidia cards are really the only way to go. AMD just isn't very competitive for F@H. I replaced my 6950XT with a 5070Ti and it's been great. Little over quadruple the PPD while sipping less power. Really anything RTX 40 or 50 series is great for folding. All the 8GB cards are pretty equally hated by gamers so they can be found relatively cheap when people upgrade their prebuilt rigs. So, 4060 or 5060 and the TI versions of those cards. They also undervolt pretty well to further drop the power consumption without losing hardly any PPD. 4070 and 5070 are in a weird spot. They typically go for more than I'd like to spend on a secondary card that's mostly for folding. Being a 12GB card, they are not something I'd put in any of my main rigs. IF you find one for a great deal, they are solid cards. 4070 Ti is in the same boat as the above. The 4070 Ti Super and 5070 Ti are 16GB cards and good candidates for a main GPU and also really strong for F@H. 4080 and 5080 are again in a bit of a weird spot where the jump in cost outpaces the jump in performance from the previous tier. 4090 and 5090 are god tier for PPD, but are way overpriced. Thanks AI...

I've been steadily working on rigs getting the PPD up for this event. The dilemma now being which team to fold under. Since EHW was dying last year, I folded for [H]. CoolGTX just slipped by me the other day, so I'll probably fold for EHW until I retake the #5 spot on our team then switch to [H] for a little bit. If by some miracle y'all decide to really kick it in gear and we have a chance to place anything other than dead last, I'll throw everything I can at it.

I'm folding to stay warm
