Still getting a good average on the new GPU's, and still pretty new to competitive folding.  This is what I'll have to throw into the fray for Central:
 
x2 GTX 1080 FTW
x1 Core i7 5820k @ 4.4 Ghz
x1 GTX 780 Superclocked
x1 Core i7 920 @ 3.3 Ghz
 
Looking at the estimates over the past 5 hrs or so, it looks like about 1.5M ppd.  Does that seem about right?

I think I've underestimated by 100-150k ppd. I estimated 500k but seems over 600k is likely.

Got your PM and sent donation.  Did you receive it, DutchForce?

I've received your donation... Thank you very much!!
Just a few more posts and you can also send PM's ;)

ammskore, PPD looks good,
 
yodap, 100k underestimate not a big deal, 1million is something we would need to correct.

300k ppd here(up from 150k), hopefully I can maintain that.

I'll be folding on anywhere from 0-3 GTX 1080 FTWs, so I'd like to narrow down what my PPD will be, but it may be subject to things like the electric bill and how cold it gets outside as to how many GPUs I can have running. That said, my current estimate of 750k is the best I may be able to offer for now, but wanted to give a heads up that it might not be all that accurate (likely higher than lower however if things go well)

Wow, triharder21, that is a lot of hardware.
Hope you are able to get most up and running.
 
What issues were you having??
 
Cheers

Not sure I would start them up and the fah client would just lock up the entire unit. Was trying to set them up as nodes but they just keep locking up. Guessing it's something to do with the cpus as they are dual cores and fah requires more HP to hand out tasks. I was hoping to go balls to the wall this year but...... we shall see I will be putting together a 16 core 32 thread docker/ virtualization/ media server/ backup theory build maybe halfway through this event it may have a few 1070s ;) in it so if I can get fah going in a container. I'll for sure point it at the TZC.

To bad I have two computers down right now trying to get at least one more up that would add two 980 Hydro Coppers to the mix.

At least I have the two Titan X cards folding for the contest.

Crazy with the amount of hardware or component issues this year.
 
Hope EVERYONE get them worked out with no issues.
Bring on the TZC..  Record breaking month this is going to be..

Hi, first time TZC'er here. Been folding only for around a week now and about to pass the 1,000,000 point mark on my new 1070 SC.
 
How important is it to have entered the correct "estimated PPD" in the registration? I entered 500,000 as a loose guess, but depending on the WU that number can change. For instance right now I am folding project 9206 (core #21) and PPD estimate for this unit is 815,491PPD. I've seen estimated PPD around 500k for some units

The estimation is more of an art than a science.  500k PPD might be a little on the low side for a 1070 SC as I think they tend to get closer to 600k PPD on average if you run it 24/7...but the 815k is certainly an outlier and not something that is sustainable.  I'm no expert, track your individual stats on EOC and see what you get over a period of time:

And also keep in mind that a lot of the results are from Linux systems, which also have ~10% higher PPD than Windows systems. 

I was not aware of this - should I convert to linux?

Be careful with the results on OCN GPU PPD database, because I know that some of their own members complained about the fact that people mostly entered high PPD (projects) results for their cards (it became a bragging list), so it is not always a real average/balanced GPUs PPD database.  And also keep in mind that a lot of the results are from Linux systems, which also have ~10% higher PPD than Windows systems. 

I used it as a guideline for the most part, it doesn't give  complete system specs or any other information.(operating system) They also seem to be using the PPD estimate given by the Folding estimate anyway. Which in itself does not allow for upload issues (cannot connect to server = lowered points, etc. etc. etc.) and pretty much incorrect from my results. In my case with the 1060s I took the user reported PPD and took off 10% since mine are the 3gb version. That gave me somewhat of an idea of where they might be without having them running. After doing that and actually running them 24/7 (Oct 23 to current day) you can see the results vary by what they report (I'm assuming the results they show are a 6gb version) obviously because of project and all the other factors they leave out.
 
TL;DR
  I use it/ suggest it as a guideline to get an idea of what the GPU might produce. YMMV! 
 
EDIT:
Back in the good old days I remember when Tech sites (one of them did IIRC) used to actually run Folding on the "new" cards and post the results. Not so much anymore, it's all about E-peen OC and OMG they are running hot on a STRESS test.
