Sorry just getting back on here. Thanks for the well wishes! Great news... finished chemo and radiation treatments and the last PET scan showed no cancer! If you have a strong stomach I can show you what it did to my shoulder. Bad news my nephew (12yrs old) thought he was helping and tried to clean my computer. he broke the tabs to hold the front and side panels on and used a leaf blower to knock the dust out  So I haven't folded in a few weeks as I'm trying to find a good new case. Everything seems to be working ok, except one fan making noises. Should be back up and folding soon.

Congratulations TheBreasal on your progress!!! Hope you are feeling well. Ask your Nephew to please keep the leaf blower for yard work.  I'm sure he was trying to be helpful.

nice i just passed 3 million Team [link=mailto:folding@evga]folding@evga[/link] Score 3,143,148 WUs 112 with this folding .. i had some hick-ups along the way, like my son unplugging me because the net was slow, Microsoft up dates, me ripping my system apart to redo some hard-line tubing and then moving my system to the basement for cooler temps .. system im running intels 8700K, evga 1070FTW, Evga Z390FTW, Corsair RM1000, 16 gb of adata white Z1 i think they are, and two M.2 one XPG 7000 the other is a kingston both 128gb, cpu is the only thing that is water cooled, wanted to do the GPU but have not found a block i like yet .. anyway thats my set up run full bore 24/7 minues the times of shut down, restarts and rip aparts .. Praying i can bank enuff points to nab a DG 86 case along with 2 Titan X`s ... would go with RTX 2070`s but bit out of my price range, but Glad to know EVGA has B stock parts for a nice price. now just need to bank enuff Bucks to nail that stuff .. but by the time i nail enuff for that i will be able to nail the RTX 2070`s or even 2080`s ..

Your 1070FTW running 24/7 should easily pass 7 million points per month. It looks like they are good for 600-650K PPD, which is around 18-19.5 million points per month.
Did you start late in the month or have a lot of interruptions?

started late, joined late as well . Think i joined the team about two weeks ago .. As of today i just hit over 6.9 mill, last month at the end of it, i was at like 6.5 million . had to shut the program down and restart a hlafd doz times, was over clocking the cpu and gpu, to see what i could get my 17 8700K and 1070 FTW to hit. and i didnt do a good job at, i had to reinstall my op system due to a high over clocked that kinda hit the op system into saying sorry bud try again .. ya the clock was not a good one .. so with that i missed my mark of hitting the 7 million, as of april 31st and here it is may already and a slow start again .. Hope this month i can hit if not get close to 21 mill . Praying I need another 1070 ftw card .. by year end if not a jump up to a 2080 ..

Yes you can use the same account. All mine are on the same account. Just put all the same information on each rig. Including name, team # and passkey. Open your passkey email and paste it in

You should run on the same account, unless you specifically want to track the PC’s activity individually.

So.... Im curious now.... since the changes on the Milestone this Feb/Mar 2019 to 7mil/21mil has this improved production of Folding points under TeamEVGA? because it feels like it just lost alot of users who folds... then again this is good for EVGA, as less EVGA Bucks to distribute to users which technically translates to cash value (when used in store). Check below graph... when the change was made... sure the score shot up as users were curious and checking how attainable the new milestones are (and tbh, they are harder, even if u have RTX line) people may argue, we all do this for medical goodness, but common, most people do this for the evga bucks, the medical part is just a bonus. as much as I would like to do this for the medical good, in the end of it Folding reflects on my energy bill and evga bucks is somewhat that makes this acceptable as you kinda get the cost back through evgabucks.  but eventually seems like the amount of folding points is/has been dropping, but hey we're still like 3-4 months since changes so alot can change. I dont fold much anymore as there is really no point for me to do it due to the fact that I dont have a dedicated folding PC, and my Daily PC is again.. a Daily PC which has GTX1080Ti (still powerful to today's standards therefore no reason to upgrade)

That may be true for some but I disagree with your assumption that most people do it for the money. I fold for the medical purpose and evga bucks help me to offset at least part of the electricity cost. My points also increased from 4 million to 7 million a month. I could fold more but I also have to watch my electricity bill as a student.

I know two people have already replied, but I want to add in, the only people that should be doing this strictly for the bucks are people that do not pay an electric bill, otherwise, they are wasting tons of money in electricity to get a tiny bit back.. That is a really inefficient, and not many people would actually do that. If you fold and your electric bill raises by $15, you are literally losing money to get 10 EVGA bucks back. A lot of the times the people that assume that users fold strictly for the bucks are the people that don't pay an electric bill and think the 10 EVGA buck reward is actually worth it. Once one takes the other part into consideration, it makes even less sense to fold for the EVGA bucks when we take into account that the bucks can only be spent on the EVGA store, and no where else. That would be like depositing your paycheck into a bank that only allows you to buy things from that bank and nowhere else. Why wouldn't the user just keep their own money, that didn't require them to spend extra money to get it, anywhere they want to spend it without being limited to a single location? Your concept of folding for the EVGA bucks is skewed in my opinion. I don't think you have accounted for the bigger picture that strictly folding for EVGA bucks doesn't make much sense at all.

I'm just glad that we have so many that will fold and crunch trying to advance the science. Some may fold for the bucks, I don't fault them for that. It's a nice bonus that EVGA supports the effort, and has for many years now.

So I've waited a while to post about this because everyone is a know-it-all on the internet..... I already stated that such a drastic increase in points requirement WILL have a negative impact on the team overall (not in those exact words, but close enough). With summer rolling in hot and heavy folders are no longer able to fold for a couple weeks to get their bucks and still keep home costs (electricity & cooling) down to a reasonable level. Here's the evidence:  And before you jump in with "but we're up 2.5 Billion points from last year" look at the completed Work Unit totals, and average points per completed work unit Aug 2018 = 39k per WU - July 2019 = 59k per WU. Faster cards should do more work units over a given time-frame for more points over the same time-frame, we are seeing more points in the average points per work unit, but only a 9% increase in work unit count, that should be closer to an 18% increase. Also look at February (before new points) vs June (after new points) almost the same points and work unit count, despite February being a short month. IF February had been 30 days, it would have beaten June in points as well as work units. That's because the base of the evga folding pyramid has significantly eroded. That base being the THOUSANDS of users who ONLY have one PC running older hardware. Hell my old GTX970 couldn't hit 7Mil reliably without being dedicated to ONLY running folding 24/7. No one with a card lower than a 1070 / 1660 TI can reasonably expect to get to the 7 million point level under the sweltering summer heat. There's NO WAY that I'm gonna reach 21 million points a month even with my watercooled & overclocked EVGA 1660 Ti XC Gaming card. I cannot afford to run 2 GPU's, I cannot afford to run 2 PC's - one for daily use - one for dedicated folding - and I bought the single best new card I could afford after the loss of EVGA bucks from the increased point requirement - I still could have made tier 1 with the 970 if it had only been 5 million, and then gotten a 2060 card with the added bucks.... Was a jump in point requirement warranted - YES but you put the targets out of reach for 70 - 80% of your folders. I could see 5 mil / 15 mil as Tier 1 / Tier 2 - but for current point levels, look at how few people are over the 700,000 PPD mark needed to reach the 21 Million point level - not very many, the majority of those being the people who can afford multiple GPU's and / or multiple computers folding. Honestly, without the EVGA bucks, I would NOT be buying EVGA hardware. Don't get me wrong, I think the the EVGA hardware that I have purchased has done very well, but there are other brands that offer better value for the $$$ with equal or better reliability, and sometimes better customer support, especially when it comes to out of warranty products.... I will still fold for EVGA and get my tier 1 rewards (this year anyway), but instead of getting multiple pieces of EVGA hardware, I'll ONLY be saving the bucks for emergency situations, like came up when my 970 fried. I just hope that the people who make the decisions on point levels decide to look at the broader picture for next years point requirements.....

This was the point I was trying to make when it was announced. The bottom level of people who can't afford a new card every generation, whom were reliant on the bucks, are having a hard time getting to the floor to even qualify or have just dropped out completely.

IF February had been 30 days, it would have beaten June in points as well as work units.
First, good to see you're still around SM-71!  I remember you being one of the heavy hitters when I first started folding back in the day... I don't disagree that the requirements for this year are higher than they've ever been in the history of the EVGA folding promotion given the hardware available to crunch the WUs. Personally I was advocating 6-8M for T1 and 16M for T2 (similar range to what you suggest) if it was a 2 tier system to keep in line with historical norms that made it accessible to more folders. Though, it was also a great opportunity to switch to a 3 tier system. The counterpoint to your argument, however, is that both points and WUs are up compared to last year. These are the two relevant measures of the work that is being accomplished. I'm not sure that points per WU bears any relevance to measuring the work being performed for the folding projects, but you are certainly correct that higher points/WU indicates significantly higher end hardware being used for folding. If we buy into the premise of the quick return bonus, higher points per WU is a good thing as it allows the projects to progress faster. If we look at it from a measure of hardware inclusiveness, you are correct that it isn't such a good thing.

well my time is done, (granted I assume the aug to July issues will be sorted out). But Keep getting 21 core 14180 stuff that gives jack for completion. Not going to keep on doing at that rate for what was already a bummer change to FAH EVGA bucks stuff.

well my time is done, (granted I assume the aug to July issues will be sorted out). But Keep getting 21 core 14180 stuff that gives jack for completion. Not going to keep on doing at that rate for what was already a bummer change to FAH EVGA bucks stuff.
As a heads up you are still getting your bonus points by completing this unit. They just made a change with the new unit that the API doesnt recognize and a new client will fix the issue of displayed points (EDIT: Note that this new Client hasnt been released yet). But the servers are still assigning the correct points when the unit is turned in. I have had no issue with credit for units. I noticed this the other day and just figured it was a bug and kept folding. Looking at my folding stats nothing has changed still 1.7-2M per day for me.
