Well, I checked his numbers this AM, doesn't appear that he rented anything this month. So feel free to win anytime you'd like. 

 

We're all winners in my book. I'm more interested in watching the team total rise than my own.

 

Besides, he would only need 1 day of clouds to whoop me again.

It is too expensive to rent GPUs every month to defeat @BWG.  His arsenal is too large!

Should be enough to get me, Iv'e got the 4 horsemen working and the 3070. Maybe 23 Million PPD right now. 

Highest I've seen with those 3 cards was 21 and a bit. So you are safe from me, I won't be home the next 30 hours

After a 5 hour battle, 2 more 80tis have been added, but the hfm won't look good until the paused units finish out. 

 

I couldn't get 3 80tis to work in harmony on tier 2, so one is on my wood bench beside the lanboy on 3.0 at 8x.

 

Tomorrow's the 3rd 80ti. I'll probably swap it with the 2080s. I'll have to put something on an x1 riser though unfortunately until I reconfigure things again for the next fat.

Another 5 hour battle to get the 3rd to post right. I had to swap it with the tier 1 2080. For some reason, that worked right away. There must be a bios vram limitation? That's all I can think of. 4G is on, of course.

 

Last leg is all 17 GPUS.

I added the other 2 cards again to the workstation as I just got home. So about 23mil ppd for the last leg. Still a decent production for 3 cards most of the FaT

Omg Noooooo!

@Bastiaan_NL wanted to see me come from behind in the last hours .  It isn't quick or cheap to spin up this many cloud GPUs in my attempt.

I meant to say, 2 hours.

It was a lot of fun looking at the page and talking to Greg at the same time without him mentioning it a single time

 

EHW last 24 hours: 172 million points

and @firedfly had a 41 million points update!
