Welcome back, the apes have yet to rise up and take over the earth but the lunatics may have gained the upper hand in the asylum. 😀

 

[beanoslim]

Hey Rick, you passed bholland, what a legand, LOOK how many work units that guy has done!!

Yeah I kind of feel bad about that one.
MANY of his work units were on the very old point system. 1 work unit, one point.
That is why there was no mooning ,just a respectful nod in passing.

Now you on the other hand
You know I am always joking.
GREAT work TEAM 32,000 to be in the top 20 and a 6million point day this week !!!!!!!
GO TEAM

Very respectful Ricky, unlike me when I catch you up and pass, oh yes I am looking forward to that day:lol:

Well, yes, I totally agree😀

5 wu's in and picked up my 1st core 21, so far so good with 353.62 drivers.

Fingers crossed for ya!

 

[beanoslim]

Cheers mate, these 0x21 units don't half use a lot more power and gpu.

Still Afterburner still only reports the 980ti as using 80% of the available power, and its a sultry 65C.

I expect nothing less than a full moon ,proceeded and followed by a Bantam rooster strut and display.

So don't disappoint me.😀

 

[beanoslim]

You can expect a full show, but you are quite some way away yet

My gnome moon on Painkilla was a little larger than I had anticipated, but still effective😛

Well it folded overnight including 2 0x21 units with no errors.

Now do I switch back to advanced flag.. definite points increase???

There doesn't seem to be any testing going on at the moment so I doubt you'll see any difference in your PPD.

 

[beanoslim]

Just seemed with advanced I picked up more 0x21 units and the ppd were higher than the 0x18 units.

 

[Mousemonkey]

Just seemed with advanced I picked up more 0x21 units and the ppd were higher than the 0x18 units.

I switched the adv flag off a little while ago and the ratio of 0x21, 0x18 and 0x17 WU's seems to be about the same but noticeably less bad WU's it seems.

Kinda odd if they're not actually testing anything. Like they're trying to keep people used to getting errors, for when they do have to run test WUs again.

0x21 units seem to be lower PPD for me. Would be cool if they could improve assignment to take into account what runs better on Nvidia vs. AMD cards.

Edit: Nevermind, got another 0x21 WU and it has high PPD. Guess it just varies by project.

 

[beanoslim]

Just got through another 0x21 without errors.

0x18 can be as low as 440k and 0x21 can be up around 600k for me on the 980ti.

 

[dogman_1234]

Imma jump in...sorry gents.

So, been looking to get a GU for folding. Looking at about 300 USD or less. May have SOME wiggle room. What would you recommend?

I have an AMD A8-5600K stock clock with an MSI FM2-A85XMA-E35 mobo.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6393D53804&cm_re=a8-5600k-_-9SIA6393D53804-_-Product

I was thinking somewhere along the lines of:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202113

Will be running Linux Mint 17.2, so...I'm not sure as of now if any drivers will be compatible. Should be.

 

[beanoslim]

If you have 300 USD you can pick up a GTX 970.

 

[dogman_1234]

My motherboard does not support PCIe 3.0...or at least I am not aware of such support between PCIe 2.0 and 3.0.

 

[Sakkura]

PCIe is backwards and forwards compatible, and the lower bandwidth of the 2.0 slot doesn't matter for a GTX 970.

 

[beanoslim]

My mobo is PCIe 2.0 and I am running a 980ti

 

[dogman_1234]

Great. So, next question:

Why the 970 over any other nVIDIA card or ATI card? Out of curiosity.

 

[beanoslim]

Because its better than any ATI card at the same price and is just within your budget, and you will have a little giggly fit when you start seeing those ppd!

$299 after rebate - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487088&cm_re=gtx_970-_-14-487-088-_-Product

And a game download!

9637 (1, 35, 5) 1st bad state detected, usually downhill from here...

here we go again Beano,de ja vu

This was pretty much my reaction when I upgraded. 😀
