Can tell it's still 2020 one of my systems just keeps recycling on and off. Will work on it in the morning.

 Booo! Hope it's a simple fix.

ENGAGE!!!!! 
 
 
 
 
Good luck all, have fun. :)

Started my rigs at 1203. Here we go!

I knew Eastern is going to Win .. but man what a great start ... or is something off just a little - on that spreadsheet
 
 

 
EDIT:   And - Now, it looks to be fixed

How often do stats update? Hourly?
 

Kind of - but not On the hour
 
Answer from post 239 ---- about 10 min After the flat file are published

As usual, the actual times the flat files from Folding @ Home publish drift a bit, but currently they are at half past the hour.  Publishing to the contest site should be no longer than 10 minutes away from whenever the flat file publishes, worst case scenario, so you may see a little drifting on the 'hourly' updates, but the points WILL be up as soon as they can be!

First hourly points are posted.  We'll start seeing contest totals updating as soon as troy8d finishes configuring the back end, but numbers are now climbing!  Let's crush some WUs!!!

I shut mine down since I’m out of the competition .. don’t want to risk hardware failure .. on my only gaming rig

Making sure troy has my folding name as Xavier_Zepherious   - NOT XAVIER_ZEPHERIOUS
 
seeing I had NO points when my 9pm and 12:00am said I did at EOC
 

Your points are showing as of the latest update.

I missed a few range limits from copying an old set of sheets - We're back up to EVERYONE showing the points they're supposed to be, thankfully because I run a personal duplicate of the points history on my own box before shipping it up to the google sheets.  *laughs* Let's hear it for paranoia!!

yep oh well, card is dead (so my machine is down cause of it). so i will have to wait until evga gets stock i can purchase. good luck y'all.
 

                                                                Thank you Troy & drougnor
                                                                              
 
                               We have our #1 Sandbagger to date, let us see if he can keep the slot

My PPD estimates in F@H are significantly lower than I had anticipated. The 3080 is showing 4.5m and the 3090 is showing 4.4m.

What work units is everyone receiving? Anyone have flags running for Beta or Advanced?

I am trying advanced right now, but those work units seem to be running very slow. It has also been almost a year since the last time I folded, so that could be me having higher expectations than I should.

me to getting 4.5m on my 3080 ftw 3.  i think there are some gold WU   that give you about 6.5m ppd.

4.5 mil/ppd seems pretty low for a 3080. I'm getting around 6 mil/ppd on the 13438 projects and into the 7 mil/ppd range with others.
 
You can try the following and see if it boosts the performance:
 

• In Nvidia Control Panel, change the Power Management Mode to "Prefer maximum performance".

• In Windows 10, turn on the feature for "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling". Right click on the desktop and choose Display Settings, on the left-hand options choose "Display", scroll down to Graphics settings and click it. On the new window, toggle the "Hardware=accelerated GPU scheduling" to On than restart the computer. Note: on my older CPU/Motherboard, this option does not exist even with Windows 10 installed.
• In FAH Advanced Control, click on Configure, and go to the Expert tab. Add the following under Extra client options: Name = "next-unit-percentage", value = "100". This prevents the download of the next project until the previous one is completed. Since most peoples Internet connection should be able to download the project in seconds, it will stop you from losing points while the previous project is finishing the last 1%.

 
I notice that after doing the first two options, both of my 3080's increased performance but they do not clock back down when idle. The FTW3 Ultra used to clock to around 280 Mhz when idle but now stays at 1800 Mhz at idle and above 2000 when folding/gaming. For dedicated folding/gaming rigs, this shouldn't matter but if you plan on folding part-time, these may not be the best options as they will use more electricity.
 
Edit
I forgot to mention that on the 3080 FTW3 Ultra, I have a 1000/50 overclock (the 1000/100 crashed on Cyberpunk and was not fully stable for certain F&H projects) and a 1000/100 overclock on the 3080 XC3 Ultra.

 
Just woke up, seems like mine stopped at some point during the night :(  Just started it back up.
 
PC must have crashed and restarted, everything is running ok now though. I've down clocked my GPU a little to keep the temps down in case that was the reason. Keeping it at ~1800MHz now which is ~68C. The folding client got bigger work units this morning than it was running when I went to sleep last night, don't know if that's normal. Also noticed my m.2 drive is sitting around 50C... significantly warmer than usual, but apparently well within spec.
