Grab the GPUs.txt file from here https://fah-web.stanford.edu/file-releases/public/ and shove it in C:\Users\urname\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient and fingers crossed

Weird thing the 970's are reporting they will take 10 days to complete WU !!??

That machine is reporting 33k ppd, my 980ti's are reporting 286k ppd, which is weird as last night it was over 700k.

Andy the 970's are on my testing for new motherboard, check out my warships project log, last couple of pics, show it sitting on the bedroom floor. Can't leave it there forever before the wife starts asking the the hell I'm doing haha.

Ok maybe its just me but my ppd are reporting normal now 970's 533k and 980s are still low at 382k

combined with 5930k also.

Just looking one card is doing Core 0xa4 only 42k ppd other cards is doing Core 18 238k ppd.

One of my 980ti's is also doing a 0xa4 and ppd is terrible 6k ??

managed to get a gtx 970 but it wouldn't fold very well so a few tweaks and its at 228k with a 10486 WU. hoping after I sort some case fans out I can even overclock a tiny bit

went for the evga sc because of the 3 year warranty, only thing I don't like is how the power connections arnt near the end of the card
