2026 7th Annual Folding Challenge (Jan 24-31 2026) Hosted by [H]ardForum

[SoloCamo]

Wish I had another rig to use my 6900XT in currently as my 9070 (it's oc'ed to 9070XT performance or slightly higher depending on workload) isn't putting the numbers I expected.  Not like the 6900XT is faster but it would certainly help out.

Fired up an RTX 5050.  Seems to be doing about 3m PPD roughly?

I'd fire up my AMD farm, but most of it is currently not in systems, and I have power constraints at the apartment.  5050 seems to be doing a good job at least keeping me on the board.

My office was cold. I don't really have much more than a 5070, 2070 Super, and a 960 aside from the k5000 and a 670.

lol that's at least as fast as my RX 6900XT and probably like 75-100W I'm guessing. What an awesome little card! 

[SoloCamo]

Soon..

 

I had my 9070 at the 253w P/l during the night which holds 2.9-3.1ghz core clock typically, but this morning I dropped it to 160w P/l and it it's still 2400-2700mhz.  For near enough 100w less in use this card is really efficient.

due to an arctic outbreak, I'm adding my 6900xt into the fold.   Not the best PPD, but a nice little space heater for my bedroom. 

[pio]

I just added two more 7900 XTX's, a 1080Ti....idk, i forgot what all I've added now lol.  I think I've got 10 cards folding now, mostly AMD.  Putting out around 60m PPD roughly right now though!

I've got a few clients online too  

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

With the work unit completion rate and assuming no one powers down anything we should hold the lead.  

 

 

Do Intel Arc cards do ok with F@H?  Might sneakily add the ARC A380 in my gf's pc to the mix.

I was wondering the same, I have a pair of A770's I could put to use.  I'm also out of power outlets around the apartment though.....

My output is not consistent, so I can't promise anything.
I'm trying though, but it's a bit expensive

Yeah, I'm amazed those GTX580's do so well!!

And for 3 hours, with the help of Jan and @firedfly, I managed to hit this:

I could probably add the vega frontier but driver may die and or my outlet with a 9070xt + 1070

Is it really Extreme HardWare if nothing dies?
Whatever you blow up, make sure to record it

I do have insurance thinking about it.

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

It's the little team that could!  



I was just trying to figure out how I was going to rework the award post bit this year.  Looks like the 2025 one somehow got screwed up, I'll have to re-fix the font on that one it looks like.  I'll handle both at the same time.  Do we want this year's to say "168 hour" or "Week Long" with a new font because it'll definitely not fit right spelled out like that.  168 hour should fit though if I shrink the text just a hair.
