My gtx 980 is here today and I wanted to start folding with it.........

Update:
It looks like the Assignment Server(s) issue is fixed. 
According to Bollix47 from the Folding Forum: "Assignment software appears to have been rolled back to a previous version until the source of the problems with the newer version have been located and fixed.
 
I've just started my folding rigs and got Core17 WUs (P13000/1) again.

Is BA back online?

Should be, I got a 8101 a couple hours ago.

Well, first unit on this gtx 980 was a core 15

How long did it take to complete?

Prepare for the possibility of some more AS funkiness next week:
 

Joseph CofflandAfter a false start we've resumed live testing of the new Assignment Server. This server is a complete rewrite of the old AS. We've been testing it for several months but there were a few bugs that didn't become apparent until we left it in full deployment for a couple of days. We have identified and resolved several issues but there may be more. Please be patient while we get this straightened out. We will fall back to the old AS again if more problems occur.

The new AS has a lot of features that will help us detect problems earlier and provide us with better tools for analyzing problems when they do occur. So there may be a few more bumps but you can expect better resource allocation and less problems in the future.

Thanks,

Joseph

Joseph CofflandFYI, I've rolled back to the old AS for now since we don't like to run new code over the weekend. I will redeploy the new AS on Monday.

Yep just got a core 15 for a whopping 5K points for 7 hours of work.

I've been getting a mix of 17/15 on my gtx 980, but still more 15's then 17's. Not running any flags as I don't know them that well, just getting use to the new client after a year and a half absence from folding. 105k ppd on 15's, and 350 kpp with 17's. Wish they would recognize the major gaps here and at least try to close the gap a little.
 
Edit: also getting my first electric bill in the new apartment, don't know if I should be scared  

Been on core 15 for two days now.  What a waste of electricity.  Missed tier 2 evga bucks this month since I was counting on my 780 Classy to pump out those core 17's.

Core 15s are not a waste of electricity.

Core 15 is like all the animals in the woods running in in one direction - away from you. "Uh-oh.."
BTW if you thing 15 is bad, try 16 on AMD - 3,5K ppd ;)

Thing is that the actual Folding rate on Core 15 isn't awful - if Stanford would just institute a QRB on them, I think we'd be willing to put up with them.
 
It's the lack of QRB that makes them suck so bad.  And that is totally a project-manager decision - why should core 17 reward quick returns and core 15 not?  I mean...unless core 15 really IS worthless, Stanford doesn't care when they get them back - they are just feeding them to us to keep systems running while they come up with something needed.
 
So...it is a bit annoying seeing a week go by with nothing but core 15.

According to the information I have received, at least three problems have been fixed today.
1) Maxwell was not getting Core_17.  Fixed based on the availability of Core_18 assignments or on Core_17 in Advanced. 2) Clients that are restricted to port 80 have had problems getting 0x17 assignments if client-type=FAH (default) or =ADVANCED.  Fixed. 3)  V6 SMP and V7 seem to have been working but there was a problem with v6 GPU clients.  Fixed. 
Going forward, please avoid additional discussion unless a) those issues have not been resolved or b) you're reporting a different problem.
How to provide enough info to get helpful support.

I'm still getting Core_15's on my 780Ti Classified.  Are others starting to see Core_17's?

I've been getting core 18s for about 24 hours running the beta flag. I noticed that I returned a number of bad work units, so I turned down the overclock on the 980s.

Hey DutchForce  am coming for you now. Better start folding!!!

I see you on my threats list   ... your GTX980 has a VERY impressive PPD !!!
I'm still folding on all my GPUs (see my sig), but I'm mostly getting Core15 WUs and only had a few Core17/18 WUs the past four days.
