I've got a few 2080ti's showing 3.9mPPD so far but most machines aren't affected yet.

Did you update the NVIDIA drivers?
"To get the most performance out of the new CUDA-enabled core, be sure to update your NVIDIA drivers! There’s no need to install the CUDA Toolkit."

Well, I know what I'm doing today.

General consensus the Nvidia Studio Drivers are more stable. I'm doing a quick comparison right now. Of course, CUDA changes everything.
Update: studio vs gaming, no apparent difference.

#47 we caught reddit.

It appears that the 2060s has blossomed with CUDA

I think MM had their best day? @MightyMayfield

@MightyMayfield how many red bulls did you give your systems my god. LOL

Indeed it was. Things are trending well for today as well.

MightyMayfield · October 2020

Was on the way to a 45M day but machines all had to get turned off. Sad face

cine_chris · October 2020

I've converted my two folders to Linux, that should help.
My GPU strategy is MC Open-Box + 5% Credit Card discount. Unfortunately, it appears that any new gear will be a 2021 event the way availability is going. Core13 CUDA & Linux have moved me back into the Top200 (191) producers, but that won't last long as new clusters continue to popup.

ryau · October 2020

I managed to find/borrow some old test parts and project leftovers from around the office and put together a new office heater:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6031942/uploads/editor/14/u26txzo0o26h.jpg

AMD 1700X
ASUS Crosshair VI Hero
32 GB RAM & Intel 256Gb SSD
ASUS 2070
ASUS 2080
1000W PSU

I put it up online yesterday afternoon with the latest nvidia drivers and it's been cranking out some WUs and heating the office quite nicely. The CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads, so I created a 4 core CPU slot, leaving the rest to "manage" the GPUs.

The 2070 runs at a toasty 84 degrees and the 2080 at a temperate 75.

It went online around 6pm yesterday and boosted my PPD from around 2M to 3.5M. It'll be interesting to see a full 24hr total.

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6031942/uploads/editor/rq/m8yt2tcoopku.png

Now I have to come up with a name for my new heater, any ideas?

kmiller922 · October 2020

@ryau swiss army computer multi-folder, night light and heater in one with room for additional componets of your choice.

cine_chris · October 2020

@MightyMayfield my stats show MM near 45M for the day! MC45 is on a comeback trail near 10M. @ryau adding to the MC compute livery too! Good to see.

Daily Points Production History For Kmiller922

nice to see the nvida update did a nice boost currently 5.2M for the day and projection is on the up side as well. Been trying to get my hands on some addition gear but hard to aquire right now

cine_chris · October 2020

#46 & 146M PPD average, it's a great comeback story.
+8 for the Active Folders & 2 new folders. Notable recruiting & retention.
MM, MC45 & Pittbug have led the MCO recovery from a low of 85M PPD.
MCO is currently the #28 producer & back in the Top30.

It's great to see more people getting back online as well as joining the fight. Just a reminder to everyone if you have any questions or issues there are more than enough of us here to help you through just about anything that comes up or can direct you to the proper people to assist. Also for our newer folder first of all Welcome to the team, if you haven't started the process to obtain your passkey like stated before there are more than enough of us that can help guide you to obtaining it and just what to do with it.

It's great to see everyone still chopping away at this and the research we're assisting with is paying off as you can see in the articles on the folding fourm's site.

cine_chris · October 2020

@MightyMayfield 40M PPD sure adds-up quickly!
I'm a day+ early, but I was doing some other graphics....

cine_chris · October 2020

The new FAH client is available... but: (some FAH forum comments)

i might just wait for 7.6.23..

[6:08 AM]

top tip from bruce also: "This version relocates the FAHData directory. If you've got unfinished WUs being processed by *13 or earlier, it does not move them so you should probably do a FINISH before installing *.20"

Update: I installed 7.6.20 on a Win10 system, no problems.

Congrats @MightyMayfield, really great work there. Keeping this going for months, all through the store disruptions and issues going on is no small feat. Thank you!

@ryau any idea what the availability for the 3070 will be like on Oct 29th?

ALSO, MCO is 45

I know we'll have some, but I don't have any specifics on makes/models and counts yet. With the way things have been going, I don't think there will be many cards available unfortunately.

cine_chris · October 2020

MCO should be #44 by the time most folks read this.

4 days we should catch TechPowerup! The GPUz guys.

2.8B points, not bad!

Potentially even higher if I can add another GPU to my home PC. The new cards from AMD and NVIDIA look really promising.

We'd need to wrangle ~15M PPD more to lock-in the #20 spot.
