gordonbbWith respect to your recommendation for a 2c/2t i3 for just driving GPUs I use the new Coffe/Kaby Lake Pentium Golds as they are also 2c/4t and work just fine and are even less expensive when they are available these days.
phosgene2after fluctuating btwn the 2060 xc ultra and 2070 xc black, i finally went with the 2060just couldn't justify the extra expense (but it was close)i'm folding on windows 10 and use the latest nvidia driversso far my ppd has been nowhere near 975k, more like 670k-820kit is pretty volatile and will go up and down in the course of a work unitmore than double the output of my 970 and the card isn't working very hard at alltemps are like 62-65 deg C with almost no noise (fans go 30-50% tops)these numbers are basically what it's doing right out of the boxeven with overclocking i would expect the production to be 720k-900k with about a 780k averagedoes this seem right? windows causes that big of a hit? so far very happy with my card. with my evga bucks from folding over 3 years plus proceeds from the upcoming sale of my 970, the upgrade will be 100% free, which is very cool. thanks to evga for the folding program! #evga4life
ipkhaUpdate,I'm trying the official downloads from Stanford. Gnome 3 is current and gnome 2 is deprecated. The package needed is python-gnome2 which is no longer supported.

Ghost13after reading this main poast ..I am going Hmm ok . Now what about using a X99 motherboard and running 4x 1080TI or 4 x 1070`s would say 1060`s but not sure if those can be ran 4 way sli`s or not .. and as for the CPU using a Intel Xeon E5-2695v3 ? See im wanting to build a Folding rig only .. and with all this talk about 1660s 2060s ect ect . Id kinda like to stay with in a REALLY cheap budget for this build ..but no so cheap that it is any older then a X99 system .
castrator86As what Pro is eluding to in his post: Platform does not make a difference when it comes to folding. If you're going for a 24/7 rig you shouldn't be going on a HEDT model. You should be getting budget parts for CPU/Mobo/RAM components and then dropping in GPU(s) that meet your goals for folding points. Here's a handy-dandy PPD chart that was made.
Ghost13what about using two 1070 FTW cards ?
yodapGhost13what about using two 1070 FTW cards ? Easily 1.6M ppd with core 22 on those.
Cool GTXyodapGhost13what about using two 1070 FTW cards ? Easily 1.6M ppd with core 22 on those.Core 22 - getting 1.0X to 1.1 Million PPD on single EVGA 1070 Ti FTW2
scott@bjorn3dOk ran the file to turn on PCIE 3 on X79 chipset and one of my 1080TI's is getting 2 million PPD on a 11739 work unit.
Ghost13here is what the program start up says, i hope you can view the pic..
