Edit: Did msgclb leave the team? https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=25495&start=30

Yes. He left with Hertz9753 to fold for Overclock.net. Never heard from him since.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Some time ago, msgclb bemoaned that he'd never reach 100 million. This past summer, I was ready to ask the team to help him get over that mark, until I found out what his username is now, that he's close to 130 million on that username, and that he's doing 400K per day.

.... and the Stats are down again. Hopefully no assignment servers are affected and everyone is still getting work.

and again you get overwhelmed by the stream of information from PG
All GPUs are still loaded with 8900.

 

[mstenholm]

Here we go again - no more 8900 or any other for that matter if you like me run AMD. I got my 7950 and one 7970 just waiting. If things don't change I will stop folding the next time I go traveling (180 days a year out of the country). I would be to frustrated with points going up and down and no information from PG.

-It took ~13 hours for an acknowledgement, and then that was a mod, not PG
-The responses in the thread turn funny with people complaining about their houses getting cold. That was the first thing I noticed this morning.
-Anyone remember C&C 2 Yuri's Revenge? "It's too quit here."

They are back

I'm taking my 7970 down for awhile. I'll bring it back in when the flow of work gets a little more regular again and will be working on getting my other Radeons set for folding too.

Needed to find some time for some system maintenance chores anway

Congrat's to the team on moving into 31st Place!

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Something has to be wrong with the stats. Buck and F150 are too low.

Anyone folding with a gtx 680? PPD?

I did when it still got 8900s. At that time it did similar to my 7970 (115k PPD) but then it stopped getting core 17 unit and then PPD went way down. I cant remember how low but it was real low.

 

[mx500torid]

Thx mstenholm so whats the best ppd card out now for around 300.00?

Get a 7000 serie AMD. My 7950 does close to 90k PPD. My 7770 did 22k PPD. I know that Litecoin have "stolen" the big guns in US.

 

[dank1983man420]

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but a new 7.4.0 beta client has been released sometime recently https://fah-web.stanford.edu/projects/FAHClient/wiki/BetaRelease . It looks to be a semi major change based on the release notes

FYI: GPU PPD database, and something else

Sadly the 8900 are not assigned to 680 any longer (or are they mx500torid?). The something else is the new identity off our ex folder msgclb I guess
I can add that a 7950 at 1050 Mhz does 90k PPD on the 8900s and a 7770 at 1080 MHz does 22k PPD.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Sadly the 8900 are not assigned to 680 any longer....

I find this interesting, how some boxes seem to get locked to a particular server and get only one type of WU no matter the client settings. My slowest GTX 460 (and the one that gets interrupted, therefore bad for QRB) has been getting 8900's (takes 25 hours) on a regular basis. My dedicated GTX 460's, the faster ones, 8018's. I've seen this a lot over the years. I even remember times when I was getting the "good" WU's and others were complaining about what they were getting and I'd just keep my mouth shut. I wish I could give the 8900's to those with AMD/Kepler.

 

[mstenholm]

Soonish (31th of Jan 2015) we will have to compete with the 4P folders for the good GPU units:
http://folding.stanford.edu/home/blog
Buck And F150 better start save for some GPUs now....
For the lazy ones - there will from next year no longer be any BA (big advanced) CPU units....let's see if PG change their mind when the big guns stop folding.

Edit: link changed to the direct one

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Wow!

 

[mstenholm]

Wow!

Yes a big set back for the 4P folders. From one of the comments on the support forum it seems like a money donnor didn't like that fuss it made with the preliminary announced change so they are planing to pull out and hence the result is that the 4P folders (as it happened with the one that invested +$1000/CPU in the past i.e me) have 380 days to re-think their involvement in folding.

 

[mx500torid]

Im getting 90k on the 8900 as high as 95k tho on the 680. Done 4 in a row it keeps picking them up. Thats 1228 core cant go much above that it throttles down.
