Erm....

There's something afoot.....

I'm currently doing a P8901 on one of my GTX680's and getting a frame time of 2:21mins which equates to 300k PPD - strange thing is that it's 66% complete and thats the average frame time. Not even the Titans can get close to it...

Have they come up wit a new work unit in the P8901 series?

They have suspended the 8901's as there are too many issues with it, and it needs a thorough seeing to!

The high PPD ones only has 1mil steps instead of the 2.5mil steps they should have had, hence the high PPD

yep, thought it was too good to be true

I'm still getting 8900's with the beta flag, should I change to adv?

Well, after the British Gas Website refused my Elecrtic Meter reading (as it was unexpectedly too high) I think it's about time I cut back on a few GPU's - plus the house is way too hot......

So expect my PPD to come down to a more reasonable level in the next week or so.

don't worry i'll make up for you (i wish). however i have now got my 660 so i'm getting 37k ppd instead of 13k ppd and when i put the gt610 back in as well i'll be on 40k ppd :cool:

Well, once the GPU's have made their exit my PPD will drop by around 600k - but should still be able to manage a reasonable 2.6M (hopefully)
