Now I feel guilty being offered gifts when I didn't provide any! Will make sure to have something for next year if the TZC continues.


 
 
no need to feel guilty.  Everyone offered what they can.  If you dont have parts, you can always donate to the GPU pool.  Any little amount is fine.  If you can't donate anything, at least take comfort in knowing you donated 10+ days of folding time to a good cause ^_^.   The prizes are just a nice perk of the competition.   My entire forum interaction started because of this competition, so no complaints here whether I get something or not.

When those 1080ti's get released i will be selling two of my 1070's and getting one.

Will one 1080Ti be more powerful than two 1070s?




1 titan is equal to two 1070's so i would assume that a 1080ti will be about 80-90% of that.


The advance info that I looked up seemed to indicate closer to 90% of Titan power at a much more attractive price point. Sort of like, why should I buy a Titan again? However, the "information" was speculation as far as pricing.

Yes, They are Dope, Viper Dope..... Awesome as always...and a COLLECTORS ITEM..
 
I am  not worthy, I am not worthy....


The consensus seems to be in on the mugs. If there's any extra GPU pool money, perhaps more mugs could be ordered?
An idea for next year: GPU pool for donations, and an option to purchase a mug? mug donation pool? maybe a double sized mug with more real estate for awesome design work?

I wonder if the GPU pool is still open for donations?

Wouldn't it be a nice reminder to yourself with every cup of Java, or Earl Grey, hot? Hey maybe I'm ok; I'm involved in this race for the cure. Everyone needs a little positive feedback.

Can't wait for that. I may upgrade my 2-980ti's when they come out. Or maybe wait another year after that. Ill have to see hwo much ill have saved up by then.

well waiting another year will not give you a much better next gen GPU as they are planning a rehash for the next series of GPU's. so in 2 years time and a new architecture is when i'll be shelling out for new GPU's, after 1080ti's that is.
