At the bottom of the top! My FAH goal acheived

3t3P · 27 Apr 2020 at 10:21

Been folding close to 24/7 (breaks for gaming) since the COVID19 WUs have come out on the client.

Been a good outlet to feel i'm contributing.

At full tilt I can score an estimated 2.2-2.6 Million PPD.

I've reached my goal of getting to be in the top members area, such that my name is visible within the vertical height of my monitor.

As of just now I actually climbed another place so i'm sat on 21,914,841 points.

Seems a 2080S is allowing me to catch people with relative ease, for now.

Can anyone explain what rank is? is that worldwide or how does it work?

I have completed less WUs than some people but have higher points? what's up with that.

Fixed energy plan ftw

Thanks for your contribution to the team!

Rank is overall project rank

Some WU's are worth more points than others.

Cheers Biffa.

May I ask what kind of cray system do you have? you have a build log?

and you've been doing other projects for many years also?

robj20 · 27 Apr 2020 at 18:29

Not done any folding for years now. Only have a laptop that isn't worth using. Still ranked at 140 though.

Question, can anyone use the same username at a different team.
I've folded for a few teams always with the same username. But someone is folding at a team I don't recognise with my name.

3t3P · 27 Apr 2020 at 23:34

I joined ocuk for first time using my username. I presume you can move around?

Biffa · 28 Apr 2020 at 14:46

The username isn't unique, Passkeys are used as a unique identifier, make sure you have one setup as you need it for bonus points etc.

3t3P oh I've been doing this stuff a long time now, since Seti@Home first started in 1999

I only have two 2080ti's at the moment. But I've had a shed load of folding machines in the past and contributed to just about every project that we have a team in.

Only two 2080 Tis, you poor man, what a poverty spec PC you must have

Looking forward to Ampere for folding?

Aww.... I'm only 2 spot above you but at less than 300k PPD you'll stomp me very very shortly!!!

Two separate PC's

Ahh the good old days, this is an interesting thread: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/eventhorizon.18518241/

When we all used to run quad CPU server boards and Stanford rewarded us with big points bonuses, now one GPU gets more than two bigadv rigs put together.

Or quad titans: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...e-aboot-this-hoose-weebeastie.18166637/page-4

Madness the amount of hardware for corresponding points.

How even among GPUs performance has gone up massively.

Then the leccy bills! I'm on fixed plan for first time in my life, though I realise the concept of fair useage I hope my rig which peaks at around 510W measured from the wall isn't anything too anomalous?

3t3P · 2 May 2020 at 11:19

Why do sometimes I get no GPU work unit but if I pause then resume the client I sometimes get units right away?

Biffa · 4 May 2020 at 12:12

Just luck, because you are just catching the server when its not overloaded with requests.

Oh right, sometimes it really seems like it's helped get more work.

Right now though they seem plentiful last 24-36 hrs rig has been crunching continuously.

I thought I read only the 2080 TI was get north of 2million PPD but my 2080S is doing up to 2.7 Million

What does one 2080 Ti get?

Biffa · 4 May 2020 at 15:01

Depends whether on Linux or Windows, all folding@home is faster and generates more points on Linux.

So around 3.5 million, non overclocked on Linux and 3.1-3.2 million on Windows

What's scaling with multiple cards like?

It does help, it resets the backoff counter (back to 90 seconds I think) when it could have been waiting hours before it retried to get work again.

As long as you have a core per card scaling is pretty much 100%

For me, I use two different PC's so scaling is not relevant.

3t3P · 5 May 2020 at 13:49

cpu core per card?

3t3P · 7 May 2020 at 18:38

Today I briefly had 3 Million PPD come up. does that mean i've been churning through more regular work from the servers or they've changed the work units themselves or both?

or has my 2080S evolved into a 2080Ti ?!
