@Vicious2500 , you are still getting through the 10 WU's that you have to do before you start getting the QRB bonus, even though the client is showing the points with the bonus. EOC is where most of us keep track of what our systems are doing.
Secondly, most of us do not Fold on our CPU's. They took away most of the points for the CPU and it's just not worth it to most of us, or we feel that we're getting more done elsewhere. We recommend that if you want to do Distributed Computing (DC) on your CPU, try WCG. We have a great WCG team here on TPU and they'd be glad to give you a hand. (WCG is MUCH easier the F@H to get started) Just make sure to give F@H a thread. (since we have no experience with the 980 Ti, it might actually need more than one thread) If you're interested, let us know and someone will "show you the way".

I'm happy to help wherever I can what exactly does WCG contribute to though. For example, I know F@H goes towards cancer research.

lead this young grasshopper to the promised land.
 
Actually, F@H is aimed at miss-folded proteins, which is thought to be the basis for Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's, and many cancers. "World Community Grid enables anyone with a computer, smartphone or tablet to donate their unused computing power to advance cutting-edge scientific research on topics related to health, poverty and sustainability. "
To switch your CPU over:
In the F@H client, select the CPU slot and then select finish. (That's the way that F@H would like for you to do it. You can just stop the CPU slot and then delete it.) With finish, it will finish the WU that it's on but it will not get a new WU. Once finished delete the CPU slot. (If you don't delete the slot, the next time that F@H is started, the CPU slot will grab another WU) You're done with F@H.
Using this, download and install the BOINC client, which will also set you up for the WCG project, with TPU as your team. You will need to create an account.
Configuration for the client. (I forget what the default configuration is, but..) Under Tools - Computing Preferences - processor usage tab, set the CPU usage to 100% but set the % of the processors to 11/12% or 10/12% so that your GPU has a thread or 2. Once you have a WCG account, you can go to WCG and select what kind of research that you'd like to do, or not do, but I'm pretty sure that you will be enlisted in all of the current projects. I think you have to opt yourself into beta testing though.

The BOINC client link didn't work I'll be wiping my comp clean when the official windows 10 comes out so I'll wait until then to get WCG and help out there too.
 
Welcome slackin :toast:. Stop over and say hi. 46k for first work unit pretty good :rockout:

Sure is since slackin have 34 WUs in the bag from team 0 so the pass key was working :)
 
Gentlemen, I'm messing around with cranking up the 970's, but it's brutally hot this year in Florida. I'll be folding from time to time throughout the Summer until it starts to cool down. Then it's Game ON!

:toast:

EDIT: I had to update my Fah cores and I noticed I'm pulling 379K ,394K,396K PPD on a P9137. This is on a GTX970 @ 1503 core. Seems awfully high to me. Is the FahControl client still accurate?

As accurate as it ever was. I'm getting big numbers for my low power rig on core x18's.

375k going toward 350k on a 9140 at similar clocks, Win7 as you know :ohwell:

I've only had a 8 year head start lol.

Now producing 467K PPD on p9129. It's the same exact card. WTF?

Gotta shut down during the week(due to the heat), but I will be folding during the weekends(Fri PM to Mon AM) as long as it does not get any hotter. One of my GTX970's is hovering at 74c with fans at 85%. Has not downclocked yet, but it's very close. I only have the mining rig with 4x 970's running now. The rig with the 2x 970's is acting up and only produces 1/4 the PPD it should. I may have to wipe and re-install. Figure I can still contribute 3Mil per week.

P.S. Does Ubuntu still have a PPD advantage over Win7 with the new cores?

:toast:
 
Im down to 2- 970s for a couple months then Ill be back hopefully with more, heat and electric bill this month. ooooooooboy!

Yes. You did up to 394k on a 9137 and I do 350k with 1514 MHz on a similar 9140.

The 970s are fairly gentle on the electricity bill. Mine is 450 W with my 4790 doing WCG. My AMDs are for sure on stand by untill I see snow outside my windows,

Don't know what WU's I'm on now, but PPD has settled to between 315K to 356K. Based on the uploaded WU's, I'm averaging 310K PPD/GTX 970. Not getting the crazy PPD numbers I had on Saturday any longer. Might take the hit on PPD for the simplicity of the Win7 install/operation. Gotta weigh everything.
 
Is there any data on how Win8/10 compares to Linux? I know that for WCG, W8 gives it a run for the money.
