[Titillating]

Bringing you your official Day 1 totals as of 1pm EST:

34,824,472 points (TH)
45,729,609 points (AT)

Looks like you've got some catching up to do!

 

[lilcinw]

I am shocked that there are people who would spend $712.52 for fake internet points. Shocked I say!

There are guys who spend far more than that for fake relationships at certain types of adult entertainment establishments.

Not only are we getting hammered we are also gonna get overtaken soon....

Mouseman I'd get the vaseline out ready to ease the pain of that paddling. :lol:

 

[warmon6]

You jokers have kicked me out of the top 20 producers.

Something must be done...

Spoiler

Looks like you made do on your promise! (as of posting 898K points generated today.)

So you targeting about 1M to 1.2M PPD?

 

[EXT64]

That is such a great picture

 

[Sakkura]

Anandtech has early 90s Mark Wahlberg folding for them, I think that means they lose by default.

yeah nothing else was coming to mind when i saw lilcinw re-appear on the top 20 producers and checked out how many points he was producing. It was like he sent out his battleship and and launched a full salvo at everyone that keeps threatening his place in the top 20. lol.

Maybe I've been playing to much world of warships. :lol:


Also whats funny is that it almost looks like lilcinw and I are having our own little skirmish/competition to see who going to be higher up on the top 20 chart.

My folding machines:
1) i7 6700K, GTX 1070
2) i5 6500, GTX 1050 ti
3) i3 6300, RX 480
4) i3 540, GTX 760 ti
5) FX 8350 (5.2GHz), R9 280X
6) Celeron 1037u, HD 5450
7) Core 2 Duo T7600, no discrete graphics (laptop)

This month's power bill is going to be atrociously high xD

How are you folding on the 1050 ti? The drivers that work with folding don't support the card. I have one in my 2nd machine but I can only use the CPU right now.

Would you believe Mark was producing only 320,000 ppd this time last year? Then somebody showed up to our lilttle annual race with a OC 980Ti that put out 750,000 ppd. Within a week several of us had upgraded, then upgraded again, then......

Being such a short one week race, maybe we can rematch next year, and hopefully you guys will be better prepared. But for this race, all I can say is:

HAHA I just ordered a GTX 1080 and I'm telling myself it's to help science. It'll make the Oculus Rift go faster too! Sadly it won't get here till Thursday so not much help in the contest.

yeah we were certainly caught off guard. Here when the race was being planned (only a month ago from when I was first notified), a few of us thought some handicap system was going to be needed as you only had a few users and far less PPD.

Well..... looks like the tables have turned. :lol:

 

[10esseetony]

Most of TeAm Anandtech prefers BOINCing, until the annual Folding race. Needless to say, this month is going to probably produce more points than the last 11 years [of racing] combined! Thank you Nvidia!

I gotta say, the charts have us dumbfounded and amazed. So thanks to Purch for getting some interest in DC again! This is Anandtech, showing the spikes for our annual races of years past (the last spike is for only for November, my bad):

warning sign with me.
Well of course I did moon a few people while I was there , but I thought that was part of the game ?
Well just for good measure [:unolocogringo]

Lol! You may want to see a doc though, could have jaundice, you're looking a bit yellow.

I know it's not me, but there can be only one reply to that.

I managed to move from 470ish to 220 on the TH team. Hmm... not fair, you have twice as many clients running.

I'll let you into a little secret. I'm leveraging a free Azure account with 6 x 4 core VM's folding at around 12k each as well as my main rig (which is bringing in around 680k) ;-)

I figure I should have a couple of days of free credit left before regular programming is resumed. From what I could tell, this was within the rules? :-D

As Tesco say, every little helps!

Welp, burned my $200 of free money down already. I must say I wouldn't want to do that with anything except the free trial credit. Better to go buy a GPU for $200 and get the gift that keeps on giving (and folding!)

I think that's the point. It's a reference to Futurama where the Dr. says "Good news everyone!", but it usually is either bad news, or good news followed by very bad news. Haven't watched in a while so someone correct me if I got it wrong.

 

[warmon6]

if i can only get these 9206 WU's that would be really nice.

3m and 14s tpf = 891k ppd.. (if i didn't get other WU's the drop my average to an overal 640k PPD.)

talk about a point boost! :lol:
