I am taking GPUs as donations for F@h. Donate me a GPU and I will put it fold for the TPU team.

All you need is a Mobo with 4 slots and a serious PSU like 1200-1300W if you want to buy those Nvidia P102-100 GTX1080Ti mining cards. Mobo and CPU combo on the cheap here

If I had any spares I'd possibly consider it but sadly not so much :( I had to buy a GTX 1080 for a giveaway I'm hoping to do for TPU as it is, so hopefully we can get that sorted out soon as possible :)

You can get away with a few basic boards and even use a couple PCIe risers with PCIe power or molex power connectors I believe... The SATA plug models I don't believe give enough power....

Since I set my 2070S on Cancer research, I can tell you it stays nicely on 4 million ppd. production. So far it's a bad start with the P102-100 cards.

Is that for a complete 24 hours straight? I've honestly, never tried any of my cards doing that, I think 12 hours is about the most I can run the rigs I have for :) Gets kinda pricey otherwise!!

Electric cost link thread :)

Just found that so thought would add it :)

I may have found some drivers for the mining cards. Apparently these driversare released directly by the manufacturer and not Nvidia directly. More testing this morning, will keep you updated.

I must advise you to stay clear of these mining GPUs, I didn't manage to make them work at their full potential.

That's a shame, the cards I did mine with, are all doing the folding now and are in my girls and partners machines... Trouble is though, I just don't have the size of solar array to run them constantly and when the sun goes down... Ouch! :laugh:

You were mining on consumer cards, though, right? @Marstg is talking about the P102-100 I believe.

Yes, and CMP 50HX. Regular GPUs, no issues whatsoever. I might try to find someone that could flash the CMP50HX with a 2080S bios to see what happens.
On the P102-100 I could try to put a 1080ti bios.
