Running some tests on the RX2080Ti

Folding@Home
On P117xx WU's pushing 2.2mil PPD

Project 11728
1080ti Frame Time 00:56, PPD 1,236,447
2080ti Frame Time 00:39, PPD 2,127,456

Project 11726
1080ti Frame Time 01:13 PPD 1,228,291

Project 11719
1080ti Frame Time 01:19 PPD 1,225,067
2080ti Frame Time 00:53 PPD 2,229,394

Power use (for whole machine) has gone from 185W to 251W

Any other BOINC specific WU's you would like me to test.

I have a 1080 ti and only get 135k PPD. How do you get 1m+?

I'm exploring how to heat some rooms this winter given crypto mining is now pointless.

Hi muon, do you have a passkey set? Using a passkey, among other things, allows you access to the Quick Return Bonus (QRB) which boosts your points massively.

https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/

What is the purpose of a passkey?
A passkey uniquely identifies you as an individual donor and is associated with results that you have completed. Previously we did not have unique identifiers in Folding@home (usernames for example can be shared by many people). One main benefit of passkeys is that if someone cheats, we will not need to zero out the points of everyone with that username — only the offending party and those without passkeys.

Perhaps more interestingly, we have introduced a new Quick Return Bonus (QRB) points program, which is tied to passkeys. To earn this bonus, you must use a passkey.

Finally, the existence of passkeys opens up future possibility of displaying your individual credit and other information, rather than just by username, so use the same passkey for all clients.

 

[muon]

thanks

To start to get the QRB you have to return 10 bonus eligible WU's before it kicks in, and you have to maintain a 80% success rate for all WU's to keep getting it.

So probably the day after you apply it you'll start to see a big jump in your points

Do you think its worth the upgrade then?

 

[Biffa]

Depends what you had before

If you can replace a bunch of old stuff with new stuff and save a bit of leccy then why not?

Plus as I'm a tech addict, I kill two birds with one stone

 

[Jumper118]

wow that is a decent increase, but the price is high to match

I think you will find Amicable Numbers loving the new cards.
