Most ARP units take 14 to 16 hours on my 6700K.

Some I have take about 10 to 12 hours, others a day or so, it's weird that they vary so much I think but all for the cause

Ooh, just looked on the CEX website. Seems I could exchange a 1080 Ti for a Ryzen 9 3900X! Shame it would take me 2 or 3 months to save for the motherboard I would want to pair it with

phill · Sep 3, 2021

I would keep hold of the 1080 TI @debs3759, I think the GPU is worth far more than the 3900X. I've been able to pick them up for under £300 delivered. I had one a few months back, brilliant CPU. Could you pair it with one of the B450 boards if you wished, they where £100 at Scan and came with a free mouse that I think was £50+ worth

I grabbed two lol

[US] - 5600G and 5700G reduced at Microcenter

Been watching the pricing on these lately, waiting for Microcenter to do its thing. They’d been creeping down a touch, and they just took another drop today. 5600G: $219 5700G: $300 5800X also might have dropped, listed at $349 Another curious thing is that the site no longer lists “Save $20...

Also, I hope everyone has seen this:

Should we do something to help?

It looks like the guy who runs the Free-DC site is having a rough time financially and physically. Should we do something as a group to help him out? It's just too easy to take free services like this for granted. I know I'd be on board. Project Team Stats for TechPowerUp! in World Community...

Took me a bit to realize how much the interface change sucks for us, as in all of the WCG community. What about everyone's signature? What about our badges thread?

phill · Sep 21, 2021

It's all loads different, I wasn't thinking it was a good thing either.....

debs3759 · Sep 22, 2021

I don't like it, or the new logo. I don't like change though, but usually get used to things.

4x4n · Sep 22, 2021

I hate it. What happened to the forums? That was how you could see what was going on with each project.

The forum still works, most of the time. You find it at the bottom. My complaint is that the rankings are gone.

HammerON · Sep 22, 2021

The rankings do seem to be gone. I too found the forums by looking at the bottom of the page on the left. Yep - change sucks

@HammerON @phill and the rest of the WCG GPU people. OPNG is back!

HammerON · Sep 23, 2021

Cool! I thought it may have been done for now.

debs3759 · Sep 23, 2021

Cool, I thought the reason OPNG kept failing was because they didn't like my GT 730 that I'm temporarily reduced to using. Have reenabled them, hope to see a few soon to be sure.

I'm still getting OPNG computation errors at approx 10% on my GT 730. Hope to get the 1080 Ti up and running again soon.

mstenholm · Sep 23, 2021

From the guy that control the number of OPNG jobs, knreed

I'm going to let it run overnight at this speed and confirm it is working as intended first. If it is, then I'll increase the speed in the morning.

I'm not sure what constitute morning but I think it's PDT.

phill · Sep 23, 2021

Thanks for the info @mstenholm !!

Might have to get the other 3900X system on again, not enough room is causing me problems!!

I've been running my trusted HD7770 for more than 12 hours and I got 1.

FYI: It appears that app_config.xml is reset if you change video cards?????

I wasn't aware either that it would reset. Interesting, thanks for letting us know.

@thebluebumblebee I just replaced my 7770 with a 970 since there were a promise of more WUs and the app_config seem to stay untouched, i.e. 2 at a time.
I had poor luck with the 7770/Win7 combo as well. The first two days I got +30 but that changed to 1-2 in a 6 hour run. I had better luck today with the 970 but since there are more WUs around and I did manually asked for jobs more often and if it matters, it was the first day. I got 20 the past four hours so I'm happy. During one hour with continuous activity the 970 used 120 W. The 7770 was around 30 W under load but what use is that if I can't get work.

thebluebumblebee · Sep 23, 2021

I need to complain more often. I now have 9 of them.

Jacky_BEL · Sep 29, 2021

With energy prices going through the roof, i am going to shut down some machines.
Even considering in selling them off as gaming PC's.

Jacky_BEL · Oct 1, 2021

Anyone else having problems in getting work?
I am trying out the RX580 for WCG.

Nope, it's pick on jacky_BEL week! Well, actually, same thing here. And I don't know if it's related, but the half day stats at FDC are not there.
