I'm gonna walk away from this one. You're asking too much for too little in return.

So what other Folding Team will you Join that will pay you Bucks like EVGA while you are helping to find a Cure?
The Cure is why we Fold not the Bucks.

I will fold for a team that appreciates whatever I can contribute without making demands of my output by trying to dangle a carrot from a stick to motivate me.

You're joking, right?
It takes me 3 days to earn 1.5m with 2 970s, so around 6 days to make it to 3m. And that's with both card running non-stop on top of them running @ 1506MHz
You have 2 980s, shouldn't take you no more then 4 days max

Hey that's good info to know. I have a pair of 680s and it takes me ~10 days to meet the 1.5m goal from last year. So it'll take me ~20 days to meet 3.0m I have about $470 bucks saved up. I'm thinking that 980 VR edition is looking mighty fine. I might wait a couple months to earn $500 bucks total and pull the trigger on the upgrade. Going from SLI to single card would be a bummer, but I might throw a 680 in there just to fold with. And "hand-me-down" the other card to my younger brother.

If I were you I would just want until Pascal comes out, by then cards may drop in price or the new ones will out perform then and you would have enough (or nearly enough) to get the flagship

I feel like 3 million is a tad high, putting it out of reach for some folders stuck on older hardware. That said, I appreciate the EVGA bucks I earn. Slowly they'll add up to enough to make buying a card direct worth it as a Canadian.
 
I like folding, even if I can't be doing it 24/7.

Their fault and their problem for still being on older hardware
If they're folding for the bucks and still rocking 400/500 series cards then they need to rethink their priorities

Is the "My folding" page broken? - heh, answered my own question - works great now.

http://www.evga.com/folding/MyFolding.asp It seems to work ok for me.

Tip o' the Pimphat to you fine folks at EVGA for the continued support of the greatest freaking folding team on the planet! I can't wait to see what the Pascal chips do to our numbers when they HOPEFULLY drop later this year.

I am trying to claim my folding points from February 2016 but the link buttons don't appear on the year 8 page.  I had claimed all the points from previous months but I can't claim 02-2016???  I can already see the March 1.5M request button but the previous year doesn't seem active.  Help!! please, as I am about to cash in my bucks for a shiny new 980 Ti to upgrade my 480GTX SLI set and start really making points.

Could you give this link a try: http://www.evga.com/folding/MyFoldingYear8.asp

I don't have any bucks to claim for year 8, so I am not sure if it is an error with the claim button or just the page link not working for you. I can see the page for yesr 8 at least.

I did forward this up to Rob, just in case there is further issues that I can not see.

That is also an exciting new upgrade :-)

Hi All,
 
This is fixed now.  Please feel free to email directly with any further questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Rob

Thanks Scarlet-Tech and ROB!!  That was quick and it worked great.  Requests are in.  Thanks for the quick fix.  
 
I'm looking forward to the new GC, but I wish I could float the Hydro Copper version like my existing 480's.  $800 is just too much right now, especially since the base and boost clocks are set slower than the air cooled Classified which is $110 cheaper!!.  I thought the  liquid cooled solution would be capable of the highest clocks with heat margin to spare over the air cooled versions. 
 
Arigato Gozaimas,
Don

You have to ignore the clocks, honestly. Gpu boost 2.0 can easily push the card up to match the classified and may even outperform it. They are just numbers.

Maybe i am doing it wrong but it seems like i can barely keep up. haha!  I run seven  24/7 and barely break 3mil a month.
 
Maybe i need to switch to GPU folding!

Thank you for continuing the support, EVGA! I had quite a stockpile of EVGA bucks earlier this year but cashed them in to help several friends build or upgrade their machines. I think at one point I got a 4gb 960 FTW and 750w PSU for one friend and a GT 740 and 500w PSU for another setting me back a whopping $14 for shipping. I thank you again for being so supportive and my friends are thankful, too!

I'll keep the old 780s cranking while I wait and save up for pascal. :)

I'm in the same boat, it's great incentive for the 980 folks to not get complacent, but not so much for me.  I would fold regardless and appreciate the bucks, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly disappointed.  The 750 Ti FTW is no slouch, but 3M is way out of reach.

Thank you maj28 for Folding and under Team EVGA

Well I would say we are Not Complacent with our GTX 980 Cards we only update to the current technologies.
A lot of us Fold Full Time and that is why we buy newer cards to keep up with newer projects form Stanford.
Myself I now Fold 1/4 and Crunch 3/4 time with my hardware, call it self gaming. 
I would be happy to give you (MattyMattMatt) my old GTX 690 Cards and even my GTX 780 Cards, I have already given away my GTX 680 Classified Graphics Cards.
 
By the way; Stanford has already told us users not to buy new hardware to Fold, they have stated that you Fold on OLD hardware.
But then none of us listen and got new hardware anyway, just like users who have 2P and 4P rigs that were built to run Big Advantage Tasks.
Now most 2P and 4P run some SMP Task but a lot of us now run BOINC tasks and are now Crunching Rigs. *But Not All Users Have Done This.
 
EVGA Bucks are only an extra to Folding and that is all, your thought for Folding is the Cure and Bucks are only an added bonus to the user.
Ask yourself if you only Fold for EVGA Bucks then the time to complete the amount needed should not bother you.
Now if you Fold for Finding a Cure then the time to complete each task becomes closer completion of finding that cure no mater how long it takes.

So if anyone wants to gauge how long it will take their card to fold 3m points, my pair of 680 FTW cards just finished after running for 15 days straight save for two computer lockups where I lost a couple hours. I suppose it depends on what work units I get but it's a rough estimate.

My 970 and 760 Combo put 3 million out by the 10th day.  Of course, I wasn't gaming too much then.

i think it took me about 10 days to get 3 million, including gaming for a couple hours a couple nights
 
disclaimer: i do not fold at 1601mhz, that is just the max ive achieved for benching, lol

Do you mean on your AMD Cards or your GTX 970 SSC+ Cards?

I do not have any AMD products.
Just my one EVGA GTX 980 SC with a hybrid cooler on it.
