I've updated the site and original post to reflect the new dates. As always, any blame falls squarely on yodap

Not sure but guessing about 4m on the good wu’s and 3m on the bad. Based on a 3060ti. 3070 must be a tad better.

Awesome, thanks. Unfortunately I have to sell the 1080 to cover the 3070, but that is a nice bump in PPD!

If you change the shipping address and direct the 3070 my way, that seems like a much easier solution than having to change your folding points estimate.

Glad you can join us Squall!  To get an accurate estimate on PPD, It's best to run Folding for a few days. I have an 1080TI that gets between 2-2.5 million PPD. But it can vary depending on what work units you run/get.

I wish you all the best. Electricity, even during the winter, has been too expensive for me to continue folding.

I don't blame you Scarlet. We will miss having you though.  When I get both of my PC's going it's a "nice" hit on the bill for sure. I would love to do solar or something.

Officially I think I should sit this one out... Chasing down a gremlin/bugcheck in the machine.  (to quote Pink Floyd) Unofficially I see sparetimepc is averaging 2 mil/ppd and it would be nice to see him onboard

Ducrider [~~snip~~] Doesn't look like you are down any ppd. Just saying..........
Actually I was running around 17-18 mil/ppd for a couple of weeks with a machine shutoff waiting for bigger power supply to eliminate a hardware issue... Turns out a RoG Stryx 2060 was the issue. This will be the third I have had to RMA  Reinstalled all 4 video cards and it ran good for a week and a new restart issue appeared. Bugcheck??? My PPD could go in any direction very quickly. I will be selling all my ROG Stryx cards very soon...or offer for sale and see how they do...lol In addition to all the 5 current computers operating on my folding farm... I have 3 new WS C246 PRO's, 1 new WS Z390 PRO, 4 New Haf Evo cases, 4 new i7 9700k's and a New EVGA 3080TI (all unused/unopened).  Most of them will be used to help determine hardware errors in current operating equipment. Like I said I think I should sit this one out..

With all that hardware you should still sign up. Either that or send me that 3080ti ""try" out for you. I have everything I would need to "try" it out. Even a brand new Corsair RM1000i.

 Yeah...I don't think so..too much stress at the moment. Used to have a "Run what ya Brung" attitude till I got fed up with the movie we are livin in  If you lived in my neighborhood I would definitely let you try it out...but that would violate the Rulez...not that there is anything wrong with that...Just sayin

sparetimepc is a fallen folder who is supported by many of us so, if he was entered I would already be part of the contest
