yep, at this point, i think it's mostly up to RNJesus as to who gets WUs in a given day. yesterday i got zero. today i'm crunching again. the real point is: we have better PPD per user, but will we be able to get enough WUs to make that count? if yes, we win. if not, we lose. sucks, but nothing...
i've been running the client all day today. exactly zero WUs. i get a connection, there simply aren't any. reboots and client restarts achieved nothing. i've been at it for, uhm, three days now? and i still haven't reached the point where i get my bonuses. i'm stuck at 50.000k points, even if i...
yes and no. ultraportables and 2in1 are a no-go from the start. of course any contribution helps, but at this time, like it's been said, we're in no shortage of powerful systems. those laptops would contribute very little and yeah, they could be in danger of overheating if not solidly designed...
i'm also losing at least 10% of my earned points because the WU either won't upload or will but at crawling speeds, i guess we also have to take that into account.
update: yep, the servers are getting hammered again. took 20 minutes and a lot of fiddling to upload 20mb, and i lost almost 30% of...
uhm, yesterday it was not working at all. it would show the work unit number but nothing on the project number. i guess it was a glitch due to server load.
oh by the way, stanford apparently updated their web control interface. it is now possible to see what project we are contributing towards, including COVID:
if you're wondering about the low score, it's because i had to recover my identity and i am still not getting bonus points. would have...
sigh, i got hit by the "no work available" all day today. can't switch to rosetta either, my CPU is really not suited for that, and i still need it for other tasks that don't involve the GPU. well, i guess having work getting done so fast there isn't any anymore is not a bad problem to have...
thanks!
also, it seems the high numbers were actually a dud, my current WU is hovering around 1800k PPD, which is more in line with a 2080S, like it should. it was too good to be true... :tearsofjoy:
edit: uhm, it also seems that the dreaded "needs large WU" applies though. i'm checking my...
yep, i've seen that chart. i guess their 2080 estimate is a bit conservative. they probably didn't test on an overclocked model also, mine is running full steam at 2010 clock and my memory is +1450mhz over base speeds, even faster than a 2080S stock. i remember that core clock was kinda more...
woah, just woah. is turing so incredible at computing? i'm going through my first WU and i'm scoring around 2100k PPD, way above the average for my card. i mean i did read that FaH has been implementing better modeling software but this is beyond my wildest expectations, so much that i'm...
Well well well. after two months of quarantine and boredom (hello from italy! :p) a good old fashioned race was just about what i needed! can't play Dirt Rally 24/7 after all, and this time i'm bringing some decent guns. for the last christmas race i was still sporting a 1070, but now i have a...
they do really need to put more visibility into this kind of events and yeah, give more advance notice. the last race was a blast mainly because there was competition, both from them and internally. i remember squeezing every available hour into folding to keep up the pace, while this time i...
i'm struggling to decide if mark should be a carrier, due to him having a full complement of systems, or a battleship, which has many, many cannons at his disposal. uhm.
good news people! opening up my case has made the trick, i've gained 20 degrees celsius on all components, this means that i can safely run the 970 24/7 past this race. can't say for cpu based workloads because i do need my CPU more than a spare GPU, but i can sneak in some hours of work at...
i'll keep an eye on prices and we'll see. if, like, buying on the cheap here would cost over 200$ anyways, it would still be worth to pay the customs unless it comes out even pricier. after all the system only needs to be in good enough condition to support the gpu.
that would be amazing, i'd need to only get a decent psu to complete a folding rig. there are a couple of problems though. first, i'm in europe, not sure how much it would cost or if it's even legal to ship hardware from the US to here (as far as i know, it's not, unless i pay a sizable customs...
unfortunately i don't think i can do this long term yet... i'm in a tough job situation and can't risk damage to my stuff. if i get unstuck tho, i still have a midtower case hanging around... i could buy a cheap ryzen 3 with a two slot mobo, migrate the current PSU and the 970 in there and have...
guys i think something is not quite right with my setup. so, basically, i'm pretty sure F@H is not fully utilizing my resources. back when i did my test run, on saturday, my 1070 was clocking 620k PPD, which is already down if we look at the estimates (should be around 750). now i've installed...
Hello people. just like i did for the christmas race, i'm here to answer the call and am ready to crank out as many PPD as possible. i'm also better equipped than last year: i've now got a 1070 instead of double 970s. thing is, one of those 970s is still in my possession since i kept it as a...
sorry guys, but i officially pull out of the race. i had 3 more total system crashes today, i just can't use my machine properly, and i could not find a reliable cause. it's probably some strange driver bug, but who knows?
anyway, i'm really sorry to quit. it has been a real blast doing this...
hello guys, i had some problems the last two days but thanks to you i may have found the cause. i experienced some system reboots seemingly at random and had to shut down everything hoping it was not the power supply telling me he didn't want to die yet. since shutting down F@H i've not...
well, dammit. what a nice way to start the day. the 970 devoted to 24/7 has reverted to idle frequencies during the night and refuses to spin up to 3D frequencies. at this point i'm really starting to suspect some firmware protection limit going on here, maybe related to power draw. she's still...
ciao tony, cosa sei, un italiano all'estero oppure uno che ha studiato italiano per gusto personale?
to everyone else, please don't mind us. we are happily spamming the thread in my country's language but i assure you, it's all folding related. :D
@theAnimal that's exactly what i meant. with F@H i can witness directly - even read if only i was able to - the results of my contribution. not so much with many organizations at least here in italy where scamming and corruption are the national sports. :/
unfortunately i'm the kind of guy who likes to buy expensive things he can't really afford by saving for a loong time. long story short, i have the rig, but not the money to donate a year's worth of folding in electricity. things however may change over the year because of a couple projects i'm...
two GTX970s, overclocked with MSI afterburner. i've not overvolted anything since either the program or the card's firmware always did everything on their own. they're different models though, the first is a gigabyte windforce and the second one a standard gigabyte OC half length i bought used...
uhm guys i may have stumbled in a bit of a problem but i'm not really sure. i was checking everything as usual and i noticed a drop of almost 40k in my PPD; a quick look with rivatuner and my 24/7 card dropped around 50 Mhz from her boost frequency. the voltage dropped accordingly to a couple...
but then i can't play at 4k60fps with every game ever produced, because nvidia produces SLI profiles only for select releases. for that kind of money, i'm not crazy enough yet to not have my cake and eat it too. :D
i'll have you know, this race thing can do funny things to people. yesterday night i saw the post with the difference between snowmen and yetis, and a brilliant thought passed my mind: what if i f**k over my yearly balance completely and buy a titan XP NOW? that would put out the points to...
if corsair manages to return my AX in time i can add the second 970 for more time, 10-12 hours per day which would amount to 200k ppd more or less... other than that i could fire up my old laptop but i doubt a dual core broadwell with no hyper threading would be able to pump out more than 10k...
now i feel bad because i deferred the purchase of the titan XP to when it will come out as 1080ti. you know, money. that thing would fold three times my current point with 100W less dammit. :/
ok guys, every system is go, the rig folded without errors for 12 hours straight, i'm firing up my first 970 for 24/7 operations right now. this should give you around 300,000ppd, guaranteed unless i run into technical problems. also, i'll fire up the second 970 for 5-6 hours per day but no...
YES! driver 373.06 apparently did the trick. i had to disable SLI and do some trickery to force both GPUs to run at full 3D frequencies but it seems to work smoothly. had to slightly reduce the overclock on the second 970 because the client was complaining and dumped some WUs in protest, but...
hello guys, sorry for disappearing but i had a bit of crunching to do at work and did not have the time to properly setup my rig. i'm about to install the right drivers and test the setup tonight. if everything goes well, i'll be able to fold at full power almost 24/7, given the preliminary ppds...
