cine_chris said: Thx @ryau I received a mysterious envelope with no return address, I disappointedly opened the accompanying MC credit card bill first hoping to find a surprise. LOL.Also received notice from PantherX on the FAH GitHub team, that my whining about GPU WU allocation is still in their sites. tl;dr FAH currently doesn't allocate WUs to match the hardware you are running, hence your gear appears that it is being throttled with resultant low PPD yields.
JBug55 said: @ryau, Thanks.Mail arrived, gift card was spent, and system moved to the new case. I bought the Corsair case to resolve some cooling issues with my i5 9400/1660 Super GPU system. Next to it is an ancient Diablotek case that was my last build a few (13?) years back. It now holds an old Dell mobo with an i5 4xxx/1650 GPU. I’m having fun and feeling like we’re helping. I’m also a little in @cine_chris camp, the new sprint is a bit more stingy with points, but I’m too stubborn to be discouraged. I just remind myself it’s not about the points.
cine_chris said: @ryau This might interest you, as the MCO team has seen a big drop in PPD.We've taken a big hit in PPD, but the Linus group dropped 350 million points, so we aren't alone! I need to see how the relative %'s compare.The negative of weak WUs is it discourages people & encourages abandonment.I've been connecting with the F@H group, sharing my concerns. Initially, I was met with mocking & the typical abuse some groups are known for, but soon, supporting data from others changed that tune. Anyway, got this today. Guess we can expect Moonshot Sprint 4 to be similar to earlier July/Aug WU. Also, I have good news on my efforts to fix GPU WU allocation problems, for a later post.

ryau said:I just found out from the buyer that we're not doing pre-orders for these. If you're signed up to receive our emails, I'm sure we'll be sending out availability there and we may have a landing page coming with more info.

We're actually working through a number of issues we found in OpenMM, the open source GPU-accelerated molecular simulation code http://openmm.org, that impact AMD cards. We think we've solved all the issues and are targeting a core22 0.0.12 release with these bugfixes roughly Sep 14-18. John Chodera // MSKCC
cine_chris said: Let the price wars begin! @ryau Best Buy has listed an RTX3080 for Sept 17th delivery at $699.According to Hardwaretimes, yes six-hundred-9-9, not a typo, not a 3070.Of course, I'm skeptical of this news, even if it were a Black Friday deal as I heard availability would be a problem.Hoping MCO will be thinking of their dedicated & loyal folding team when gear arrives.https://www.hardwaretimes.com/nvidia-rtx-3080-fe-priced-at-699-third-party-cards-priced-b-w-740-and-800-bucks/Yes, it's accurate. They show a founder's edition Nvidia card.
