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

CST! CST! CST!!  What issue's are you having Guns? I just had a D5 pump go out on my new x99 build.

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:

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

I'm a Linux noob, but if you can get your dedicated Folding systems running on Linux (which sometimes can be a challenge from what I've read),  I would certainly try it.

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.
