i was saying $80 per month for 5 GPU's, people living from pay check to paycheck should sell 4 of those GPU's. also if i am reading that link to CO power rates right it looks like $0.09 per KWh with a base rate of $6.75... that seems a little low but the state avg is about $0.12 so it may be correct for you.

ya and your GPU doesn't run at 100% TDP 24/7 either, more like 80-90% of TDP. so that alone is enough for all peripherals but again those will be drawing power as long as the PC is on, if you are folding or not. that is why i stick with just TDP of the GPU's folding as it represents the difference between folding or not folding, as my PC is already on 24/7.

Regardless of whether other teams can over produce the EVGA folding team the bottom line is that all of us fold to find the 'cure'. I salute all folders from every team no matter where you are.
 
We've lost two members of our forums to cancer in the last few years. This is a battle of folders against cancer and other diseases. In time and with patience, it's a battle we'll win.

i dont see how we are loosing ?? i am looking at the folding @ home teams at http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=&srt=3 and it says

evga 112,138,496 points 24 hour average as of 9am  (week 724,223,136)

nerdgasm is doing 80,391,701 24 hour average again as of 9am (week 562,741,906)

See PM

Sure, they are pulling in more points. But there is no point in worrying about it. They have a long way to go to catch up. And by then many of their number will have dropped off. Not to mention all the Winter folders on our team. Besides, the more folders in the world the better. It's nice to be number 1, but in the end the goal is to help research cures and every contribution counts.

ya, the whole point of this thread was simply to let everyone know that there is now another team that is at the same lvl EVGA is, at least for now. in the end the main goal of Folding is to help find a cure and to that end the more the merrier.

It'll be interesting to see how they progress. QRB will start for them soon enough if they got pass keys. Also, some of the EVGA crew were folding for Bjorn3d and may not have switched back yet. Others are more active in the colder months and some just fold for the EVGA bucks and do Boinc crunching the rest of the month. This new team might get more EVGA folders back in the fold as it were.

Maybe we should tell that team about EVGA Bucks!

I just wanted to point out that they peaked on the first
09.01.16     129,306,554     12,037
When Yesterday, we posted what appears to be our largest single day (Non-stats system error)
09.03.16     145,969,727     5,566
And we may still increase our output over a day or two more if the usual monthly curve happens again.
Just food for thought.

once the points finally updated (9/6)evga did 373,309,826 vs nerds 299,343,931 so ruffly 74m more in points 

They catch my team in 1.2 months at the rate they are going.

Looks like they've leveled out to around 110 Million PPD for their average at this point. Definitely some fine heavy lifting going on!

I started folding because of the video in the forum post and have seen most of barnacules videos. Definitely impressive what he has managed in such a short time. Id say with the type of audience he would have there would be some decent hardware on his team and even saw on his twitter post people buying 1080s to get behind his folding cause.
 
As has been said at the end of the day the more folding being done the better regardless of the team. Although I agree is you let the new people barnacules got into folding know about EVGA bucks could give this team a boost pretty quick!!

 It is definitely impressive so far. I'm curious as are many how many will stick with it. Like Steve said ,any new folders are great for the cause. Welcome to the forums Scout.

I'll be making my return once temps cool off, however what's a good gpu nowa days to replace my ancient secondary 560Ti haha.

Depends on your budget as always AzN. If you could go 1070, it is the best bang for the buck so far. 980ti are pretty good too, some used in the market. I'm stuck with 980s because I have no budget. They work nice, an upgrade is always nice though.... Will be good to have you back, I know the heat plays a big part for some.

Looks great, I've been out of the loop following the new stuff as of late. Guess this would run as a primary card, replacing my 780Ti? haha shoot.
But yea, looking to find a good replacement for the 560Ti that will produce decent numbers possibly around Black Friday time.
 
I used to be in the top 500 on the team :) drop down to 800's... need to fix that 
 

the 1070 will game perfectly fine at 1440p by 60Hz. if you are doing 4K or high refresh rate gaming on brand new AAA titles then 1080 is needed.
