Most of my issues with increasing my folding is the cost of another PC/GPU.   I may be able to fit another GPU into my main folding rig but its a repurposed gaming machine and not really good for a multi gpu setup.   I rearranged my home office so I can fold on both PC's now but I'm only running a 3070 Light Hash Rate and a 3070 TI.   I can pull about 10 million PPD total but want to increase that if it was cost effective.

I would fold more but electricity cost is crazy these days, the breaker for my office cannot handle any more load, and I don't have central air HVAC.
Another issue is balancing time running GPU crunching projects with FAH.
 
For some reason I can see the poll results but can't vote.

RE: not able to Vote
 
Do you see 3 buttons at the bottom of the list? "cast vote", "see results" & "view voters"  OR --> just the "back" button?

I think the issue is on EVGA's server side, as Voting is set to not expire, members only (must log into their EVGA account). 

However, I just added re-vote allowed after 2 min to see if that helps with the issue - though I believe that only allows members to edit/ change their vote/ not sure what exactly it allows.

For whatever reason when I looked today I was able to vote.  I was logged in before...cleared my browser cache, not sure what the issue was.

Going all out right now to get us over the hump to the 1 Trillion but the 1080ti and 2080ti are going to take a break after. Too warm and electricity is pretty expensive.

Also been playing with some efficient CPU folding setups. Zen 4 looks like it pulls pretty good numbers based on charts and I was able to eBay snipe some parts to give it a go.

At home 43.93 cents per kilowatt-hour is my biggest draw back so to compromise with the lady its weekend
and maybe overnights on weekdays if I play nice. 
 
At work my problem is the data chews threw my hot spot. The second is it only has a 1080 gpu.

dang almost $0.44 / KWH
 
Guess I'm lucky my "winter electric rate" is only an effective cost (total bill/KWH consumed) of $0.123/KWH

In CA peak hours for me are $0.60/KWH and off peak is $0.24

I do love being supplied electric by an Electric Co-Op & Not being forced to be supplied by a for Profit Corporation or a city owned distribution grid that also is pulling profits from the electric customers to subsidize the city's budget/ tax revenue

I still try and do a wu now and then . Even though I got a old gpu . Still a little stung from the end of big but getting over it slowly . I can no longer get the best card . LOL will never be back in top 100 of evga folding . But will never give up to help others just like EVGA has and all that fold for EVGA has . I thank you all past and maybe new folders . Thank you Cool GTX for your prize .

I don't see the point.
The world is crooked and unfair, evil is succeeding, every day is a struggle just to slowly chug towards my goals, and the last thing I can focus on is some points earned from wasting electricity on something where the majority of contributions will almost certainly help no one.  I have much better and more important things to focus on.
Where is that option?  You can call it simply disillusioned.

Heat is an issue but electricity cost prevents me from running all my equipment.
Just broke $1000 for two months on the last bill.
Newer gpu would help reduce electricity costs by allowing me to shutdown more equipment.
Not able to sell equipment for a good price... could have been another vote option...

I sold my 2x 2080ti and bought an open box 4070 super. Was close to a one to one price swap but will save close to $100/year on electricity for similar ppd.

Good for you
Don't know the ppd difference but the 4070's are allot cheaper than the 4090's I like.
I did sell all my 2060's about $175cdn/ea on average.
Just been lazy...
Haven't tried to list my 3080's yet...
My equipment has been very stable for awhile...kinda boring...
Allot of things, in my life, are distracting me. Many are on pause waiting for responses by others...
Need to get motivated.

The 4070 super appears to be the sweet spot right now. Two of them get similar PPD as a 4090 with similar power draw at less cost. Only drawback being if you don’t have the slots for additional cards.

Really?
My 4090's draw less than 400 watts and average over 20mppd.(each)
What is your power draw on your 4070? and ppd?
For the record, these are Ball park figures of the computer.

My 4070 super is doing about 13 million PPD(varies with WU but I see ranges from 11.5 to 14 million). The power draw is right around 165W.

Cost is what made me drop out for a while now, but I have fired of the 4090 and it is producing more points in one computer than 3 2080TI and a 3080 did in 2 computers.

Good to hear from you Scott

yes, the 4090 are monsters, most of the time. You might still get some WU that just do not work the 4090 hard enough & are stingy with points
