GPUGrid Competition.

I've entered Team OcUK into a GPUGrid competition over at Boinc stats

I know we don't usually do things like this but i thought it might be a bit of fun plus help with our current rankings for the Dc Vault competition.

It will run for a week from the 27th of Nov, competitors, stats and start time are here

Feel free to join in!

Great stuff! I noticed you doing a bit over there now.

Worth mentioning as well if you have a half decent card, the most productive work units are the "ACEMD for long runs (8-12 hours on fastest GPU)" I have only these work units enabled in my GPUGrid site preferences.

That would be great if you could!

Just a reminder for anyone wishing to participate, this starts tomorrow at 1.30pm.
I'll be firing my machines up later to time it so my WUs dump just after that time.

I may be a late starter in this - as you may have noticed I've been a little quiet over the past few days.......

Lets just say I had to purchase a replacement ASUS REIII Motherboard

Plus, I've not had chance to return the faulty GTX680

No worries LB, whatever you could manage would be appreciated

mmmmm Nvidia only

I got all excited when I saw your name, thought you were to say you'll be running in your new GPU farm or something

After a day we're 6th out of 11, not far off 5th, not much ahead of 7th,

We've been gaining on 4th, we out produced them by 600,000 yesterday, but they're 4 million ahead of us with a little over a day left.
We need more POWAA!!

It's finished, and we finished in a respectable 5th place, we almost caught 4th but ran out of time, we were a country mile ahead of 6th.

In our week long rampage we dumped over 23 million points and stomped 26 teams. :cool:

A Big thank you to everyone who took part!
