Tip o' the Pimphat to you fine folks at EVGA for the continued support of the greatest freaking folding team on the planet! I can't wait to see what the Pascal chips do to our numbers when they HOPEFULLY drop later this year.

I am trying to claim my folding points from February 2016 but the link buttons don't appear on the year 8 page.  I had claimed all the points from previous months but I can't claim 02-2016???  I can already see the March 1.5M request button but the previous year doesn't seem active.  Help!! please, as I am about to cash in my bucks for a shiny new 980 Ti to upgrade my 480GTX SLI set and start really making points.

Could you give this link a try: http://www.evga.com/folding/MyFoldingYear8.asp

I don't have any bucks to claim for year 8, so I am not sure if it is an error with the claim button or just the page link not working for you. I can see the page for yesr 8 at least.

I did forward this up to Rob, just in case there is further issues that I can not see.

That is also an exciting new upgrade :-)

Hi All,
 
We are working on the issue now and it should be fixed within an hour or 2.  I'll update here once fixed.

Thanks,

Thanks Scarlet-Tech and ROB!!  That was quick and it worked great.  Requests are in.  Thanks for the quick fix.  
 
I'm looking forward to the new GC, but I wish I could float the Hydro Copper version like my existing 480's.  $800 is just too much right now, especially since the base and boost clocks are set slower than the air cooled Classified which is $110 cheaper!!.  I thought the  liquid cooled solution would be capable of the highest clocks with heat margin to spare over the air cooled versions.

You have to ignore the clocks, honestly. Gpu boost 2.0 can easily push the card up to match the classified and may even outperform it. They are just numbers.

I would have to Fold for 5 years to upgrade to a video board that meets my standards. The 1.5 million 10 EVGA buck reward helped offset my electric bill. Now you're asking me to go into the hole while my wallet and savings gets siphoned by my power company. The only thing I've upgraded was my wardrobe with EVGA T-shirts. I got a better way to get my equipment upgraded, shut it off and save the electricity that running a video board to Fold burns up.

First, the EVGA bucks are an incentive. They are in no way meant to be enough to pay for a new graphics card on their own every time Nvidia releases a new generation.
 
So your 5 year comment only shows how you misunderstand the folding rewards.
 
They are there solely to give you some small compensation to encourage you to continue to fold, so that we can use our extra processing power to hopefully cure some diseases.
 
If you're not doing it for that, you're doing it wrong.

Maybe i am doing it wrong but it seems like i can barely keep up. haha!  I run seven  24/7 and barely break 3mil a month.
 
Maybe i need to switch to GPU folding!

Yes GPU is what you need to Fold On to get the Points needed.
