    Yes, your EVGA bucks are accumulated so say you hit 10 EVGA bucks a month and do it for 6 months, you would have 60 EVGA bucks.
     
    Then you saunter or more appropriately mouse over to the products tab, click the toy you want, walk through the ordering process and one of the last steps it applying your EVGA bucks to your total costs.   Which are deducted from your total.  So say you have a $100.00 product you want from EVGA (and only EVGA) and you apply all of the 60 EVGA bucks you earned to the overall cost.  Your end cost will be $40 out of pocket and shipping.  You cannot apply EVGA bucks to shipping.
     
    Easy Peasy as they say.

    The bucks add up and max at 120 per year. You spend them at checkout at EVGA online store. Same as cash and reduce what you pay for item being purchased.

    The actual bucks accumulated are 120 bucks a year but they do roll over into the next year so if in a year you earned 120 EVGA bucks on month 13 you hit the folding point quota and earned 10 more you'd have 130 EVGA bucks.

    Right now I'm looking at 52,xxx PPD. How long do you think it'll take to hit the 120 buck mark? I'm kinda sad its limited to 120 a year.

    you will have to go under there and hit the tab that will request your folding bucks to get them also...thery do not automaticly add up...
    Request 150K for 11/2011: Approved
    Request 350K for 11/2011: Approved
     
    also you can only earn 10 bucks per month, no more..thats why the total of 120 bucks per year
    if you are getting 52 ppd per day then you should aquire them around 7 days give or take total for the 350k
    hope this helped a little

    Just to be clear, you can keep saving them year after year. And blue ribbon posts also give you additional 2 bucks, for being helpful and hitting your milestone posts, 1k, 2k 3k 4k 5k  etc by posting on the forums.

    Exactly.. it will not cover the expense of time and electricity.  It will help later when you bank it for better stuff.

    Welcome aboard, it great to see more guys signing up 
     
    If your folding name is different to your forum user name, then you need to contact a member of staff to get it linked in :)
     
    I only mentioned this as I can't see your user name in the EOCF stats (lots of us use these it helps to keep an eye on your score)

    Folding name is delta5.


    Great teamwork in this thread everyone.

    Welcome us11. I want to bring to your attention a small matter. Your forum name needs to match your folding name for normal processing of earnign the EVGA bucks. Please send a pm to Rob with EVGA so he can connect the two different names in the background.

    Another member will have to get you his link. I am Mobil at the moment...

    Eh, I'm not worried about the evga bucks right now. I don't even notice any performance hit while gaming and stuff with folding running.

    I went into FAHControl > config > identity > and changed my name in there to us11csalyer.
    Then I got new passkey and used us11csalyer as my donor name.
     
    Will this fix it?

    If you're registered under us11cslayer on FAH and since it's your name here, yes it should fix it.  I might be mistaken so those that have changed names under folding for FAH might need to correct me.

    I just put 300 evga bucks torward my 4Gb GTX 770 SC ACX just recently, the card only cost me $161 shipped!
     
    I was on a 2.56GB GTX 570 for 2.5 years so 120 + 120 + 60 = 300
     
    Folding for a good cause while saving money on upgrades at the same time = Epic Win!

    Its going to cost me roughly 31.82 dollars to run folding 24/7 each month. Not really saving money in the long run.

    The costs vary between cards/power consumption. If we knew what you were running, pc specs n all. You can create a modrigs page for your pc here http://www.modsrigs.com/ if you also run 3DMark11 or Firestrike benchmarks and put them on your modrigs page you can be eligible to win 1k monthly drawing, more info here http://www.modsrigs.com/sponsorship.aspx 
     
     

    You can see my rig with the Modrigs link on the left here in red :) check it out.

    That was true back then, but the points per day to wattage usage is getting better and better, with my GTX 770 its between 90,000 - 110,000 PPD with a 230w TDP, where as my GTX 570 was only 30,000 PPD with a 200w TDP
     
    and since you only need max 500,000 points for the $10 evga bucks each month, it will be less and less days needed to get to that which saves on the power bill.

    I'm using a kill-a-watt meter. 37,9xx PPD with 2 660 SCs declocked I am using 278W an hour.
     
    So assuming 37,500 PPD I did this:
    (((PPM/(PPD/Hrs in a day)) KW) Cost per KW)
    (((500,000/(37,500/24)) .278) .15) = 13.344 USD
    37,500/24 = 1,562.5
    500,000/1,562.5 = 320
    320*.278 = 88.96
    88.96*.15 = 13.344
