if a 1060 can net 3.6m I think I need to snag one from work lol

Also I need to up to a 1000-1500 PSU so I can install my 970 and 960 alongside my 390x
 
turned my 1080 back on. time to eat up some of that pie.

Does that thing get about 800k+ PPD? I'm folding with a GTX 980 Ti and a GTX 970 and both are pretty much stock right now.

the reporting is 750-850k estimated ppd every time i've checked. folding doesnt seem to like it when i get it running over 2ghz however so i've got it back on stock clocks.. i havent run it in folding enough to get a real good lock on actual numbers.
in boinc collatz testing the 1080 would run a WU in 1.5 minutes. the 1060 was 5 minutes and the 960 was 9 minutes. ( and the igpu was 43 minutes).

That is my daily rig that I am folding with.

Ok, I don't know what the hell I was looking at before, but I was way off:

System Idle:

1st 970 @ 1501 core:

2nd 970 @ 1437 core:

So....looking at 145W per card in their overclocked state.

Based on this and the reviews of 970's and 980's, I came to the conclusion that I wanted 980's because I thought that they would use (basically) the same watts as a 970. Sunday, I was sitting here with a bad cold and looking at CL. Lo and behold, someone was selling a GTX 980 Strix and a GTX 980 Gaming for $300! For the pair! Sure is nice to see nearly 700K PPD (for both) with stock clocks. I have not loaded the CPU (WCG) and what I've seen is 415 watts with a stock clocked 2600K. They do put a 25% load on the CPU. They look funny stuffed in an Antec 300! The GPU's are longer than the vertical support in that case, but they do fit behind it. I finally have something to give that Seasonic P-760 to do.
Took me 2 years to get my first million.
Edit: I do not know why I thought it took that long. I started F@H on 02.13.09 and reached my first million on 10.05.09, second million by 12.22.09.

Very nice nab.

If there one advantage to Pascal. It is the fact that the cards made Maxwells very cheap to get.
 
Hey, I'll be chipping in with 2 old gtx titan's, can't fold 24/7 but should be able to net us at least 200k ppd.

Hello to all my old friends :)
 
note to self: pause folding before firing up doom. folding doesn't seem to like running concurrently with it
 
F@H is quite the prima donna and doesn't get along well with anything else. WCG, on the other hand, is quite the gentleman and tries to stay out of the way.

Thanks that's i wanted to know. I'll probably buy used, so that'll change the game a little (for example i can buy two 970 for a little less than a new 1070). My 290 will surely go to a friend of mine (quite a bit an upgrade from a gtx 460!) and i'll buy at least two maybe three gpus (one or two to drive a 4k tv and another one for a desktop for my son).

given a choice i'd take a 1070 over 2 970's purely for the power savings. at stock speeds the 1070 will be really close to sli performance of the 2 970's without having to worry about sli actually working and use well under half the power/heat. and if you plan on doing any gaming on the 4k tv the extra vram of the 1070 will be useful. if the tv is just going to be for movies and crunching then a single 970 is more than sufficient.

just my 2 cents.
this is probly the wrong thread to discuss this. :oops:

This is more appropriate thread I suppose ;)

I think I'm with @slozomby here and say a 1070 over 2 970s, if folding is the intention, or gaming for that matter.
However the benefit to the 970/980s is that they're dropped so much in price. @thebluebumblebee picked up like 2 980s for like $300 iirc.
 
Okay guys. What can we do to grow the team? I was poking around at EOC and was stunned to see that we as a team are about to be passed as a team by Barnacules Nerdgasm, and that team was only created on 8/30/2016!
