I'd hate to help you guys but you should check with @BWG and be sure that handicap multi is right on that GTX 750 Ti. It seems like it should be a lot higher, like much closer to the huge ass multi that Michele has with her GTX 750.

 

the PPDs are like

 

 

GeForce GTX 750 Ti Folding@Home PPD Performance - folding.lar.systems

FOLDING.LAR.SYSTEMS

---

F@H GeForce GTX 750 Ti performance as of 1/25/2022. Averages across all projects PPD:81,018 - Work Units Per...

 

and

 

 

GeForce GTX 750 Folding@Home PPD Performance - folding.lar.systems

FOLDING.LAR.SYSTEMS

---

F@H GeForce GTX 750 performance as of 1/25/2022. Averages across all projects PPD:69,207 - Work Units Per...

 

So something looks off because your PPDs look right but your handicap multi seems too low? I didn't math it, just estimating.

Unless the rules have changed, going to need about 350 sample units before that 750Ti is eligible right?

 

I'm guessing this is a similar situation to the two Radeon VIIs that are in the database.  The 750ti was/is a wildly popular card, so the one to look at is here: https://folding.lar.systems/gpu_ppd/brands/nvidia/folding_profile/gm107_geforce_gtx_750_ti_1389

We would love to have you on the team. What are you folding on for the comp?

would be my 3090 as cpu folding isnt cutting it points wise on the 5950?

Would that 3090 be able to fold 24/7?

 

Glad you are taking my vacant spot. Thought I'm not on the team anymore, I'm still a Foldaholic fan for lyfe.

People running them at max overclock while in dark mode skewed the PPD?

 

But it's weird that there are even 2 entries for the same GPU.

Right on.  The ETF handbook is here: https://forums.extremehw.net/topic/1090-extreme-team-folding-manual/#comment-21241

 

If all that sounds good to you and you are down to fold 24/7, just PM me the following info, and I'll get you added to the team.

There are technically two variants of the 750ti.  Not much info on the one you posted, but it looks to be an OEM only card with a GK106 die vs the regular 750ti which has a GM107 die. I don't think that card ever even made it out into the wild, except as maybe an engineering sample.  It is listed in the NVIDIA driver, and apparently someone must have one, since there are entries in LARS.

I was hoping to have all that info I need to put him into stats in time for next month. We'd all be full teams again. I had PM'd him the info as well  on OCN, which I think is why he's on EHW now. Let me know guys. 

[damric]

I was looking at LARS again, and that entry for the GTX 750 Ti is very skewed. It's got it faster than cards like GTX 950, which means that whoever fed the last 500 submissions was juiced to the gills. I suggest switching to another card for ETF. then running that GTX 750 Ti on another key and feed it to LARS at stock clocks. Not the factory overclocks (if any), use the stock clocks for GTX 750 Ti according to techpowerup database which is base 1020MHz, 1085 Boost. Do 500 subs, and hopefully it fixes it since it only counts the last 500 as far as I can see. That should bring the stock PPD back in line to what it should be, which is somewhere between a stock GTX 750 (non-Ti) and a GTX 950, and fix your handicap multiplier so you can fold again on it next month. I hate beating you guys if it's not fair, and that * ain't fair.

We are looking pretty good this month.  No ringer cards on the team but look at all those WUs that have been done.

@axipher  What's the status on your 750ti?

 

Things have finally slowed down for me, so I'll be around the forums a bit more now.

Edited March 13, 2022 by tictoc

[tictoc]

Had some hours of downtime today due to an extended power outage, but all the things are back up and folding now.

[tictoc]

Nice work last month @axipher

 

I will not have my GPUs running 24/7 between now and the 19th.  The BOINC Pentathlon has begun, and even though my team has gotten much smaller, I will be giving it all I've got.  There will still be some folding time when my GPUs are not active.  I'll be back to full time shortly after the 19th.

I'll keep doing what I can

[tictoc]

Ended up on a much longer than planned for break from F@H, and the forum in general. 

 

Not sure when/if I'll be back up folding anything. I'll update the thread when I figure out what I am going to do.

 

@axipher it looks like your 750ti is still folding away.

Yeah, that machine now has a Minecraft Server and PiHole on it so it's running 24/7 anyway and the 750 Ti isn't much extra heat or power consumption so I just keep it running.

 

I did just update to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS so I can install PiHole; the Nvidia driver and FAH Client seems to have survived the upgrade and reboots no problem.

[axipher]

hey @tictoc are we planning to get back up and running for December?

[tictoc]

I think I might get something back up and folding.  Maybe the 2080S can return to folding duty.

 

I'll figure it out in the next week or so.

[axipher]

Sounds good, I'll be booting up the 750 Ti soon anyway as the temperatures are dropping to help heat the downstairs office.

[tictoc]

@axipher I'll be up and running again all this month, so we should have a good chance to take the top spot. 

Edited February 3, 2023 by tictoc

[axipher]

Technically we are already in top spot

 

I'll leave the 750 Ti chugging away though, it's 75 W of heating for me anyway since we are hitting winter days down near -30 C this month.

It really seems like the low power Maxwell cards can chew through units quickly. I saw the same when running GTX 750 and on my wife's M2000. They hit way above their weight comparatively.
