Wow! I didn't expect to win anything. I was just crunching for my fellow men and woman out there. Thanks everyone for crunching.
I just want to let everyone know, even if you didn't win a physical prize now, just image if the results from our little contest were to cure cancer! Now that's a prize everyone can enjoy! |

Great job guys! NHKS, just give me your steam name, and I'll send CS:GO right over.
Is there a table we can see, with the points of each person for this comp? |

![]() I don't think the stats will drill down that far- we can each check our own (valid results from date x to date y) for each project on the WCG site but don't know if there are any other options???

Also, just a quick question while your here. How do I stop GPU units lagging my computer? Is there any way I can turn down how much of the GPU wcg uses?

I just wanted to take this oppurtunity to tahnk everyone who participated and has joined us for this fun adventure and contest. I gaurantee you will not find a team like ours out there with that "family" feeling we offer. We truly are unique and i think we have proven that in the world of distributed computing and tech forums.

The only suggestion I can give is turning off Aero and using the Classic theme. It has virtually stopped the lag on my HD 6670 as long as it is not doing any graphics or video.
And congrats to all prize winners and "winners".

Congrats everyone
![]() on the subject of nvidia's lag i still don't quite get it, also lately the recent GPU WU's take more time to finish (about 5 mins from 2) and gpu utilization is around 82~93, maybe they're just not programmed well for nvidia

Thank you everyone, I'm don't know what to say beyond that, except that I don't typically win things so this is a very pleasant surprise. I suspect that they will get put somewhere so they can crunch all day long. I have to think about who might need the second one though. I do have a co-worker who's tower just kicked the bucket but doesn't have the money for a new one, so I think I know where that second rig is going to go.Congratulations crunchers! Even if I did win the "grade prize" I think the real winner here is Team TPU!

quick solution
The way i have found is to use the hd4000(IGP) on my intel while the 680's crunch. It can be pluged in and out while the pc is on so its not much of a hassle.(between the 680/HD4000 igp) Havent tried with amd's in-motherboard igp solutions yet or an APU, which should be interesting. My nv's go to 95-99% gpu use on 1 wu; so theres no real way to dial back, or not that i know off.
