I guess all good things do come to an end. It's been fun being a part of the folding group, even if I had not been very active on the forums.
I ended up 83rd in the team and 1202 overall as a result of this promo.
 
It helped me justify buying 3 video cards over the years that I would not have bought otherwise (a 680 SC in 2012, a 980 TI in 2016 and a 2070S in 2019). The EVGA bucks and knowing I was supporting Stanford was nice.

Sadly it looks like I will have to join the dark side (crypto), it's the only way I can afford new video cards, they've doubled or tripled in price over the last few years. They cost more than a complete computer did 5 years ago :( ...
 
Take care everyone!
 
REF
2012 680 SC:  $  470
2016 980 TI:   $  480
2019 2080 TI: $1,199
2020 3090:     $1,599

I had planned on getting one of the new 30 series cards, a Ti for the # of cores, and using the EVGA bucks to help & buy it direct from EVGA. Stopping this program is unfortunate, I only bought and use the 2080 Ti for crunching for science and none of the benefit of buying a faster card helps me in the least. The new cards are too expensive without some break from EVGA bucks so I'll just stay with my current card and not get anything new, there's no reason to do otherwise.
 
Best wishes to all.

Are they going to perform the final update of points?  Been sitting at 16 mil for over 2 weeks.  Looking to snag that last 5 bonus before i get drawn for a card purchase.
Lets end this program strong.
Thanks.

Its unlikely that there will be another update.  If there are issues with your points being inaccurate send a message to webmaster@evga.com.

So troy8d,
 
Are you saying that the whole [link=mailto:folding@home]folding@home[/link] section on evga.com is going away? or at least the "my folding" section is going away or no long going to be updated??
 
I assumed nothing would change other than the promotion giving out bucks was going away. 
 
Tell me everything you know.... lol  
 
 

I know nothing beyond what EVGA posted in this thread.

"Unfortunately, Folding Year 13 will be the final year of this program supported by EVGA Bucks. This is not to say that EVGA will cease supporting the EVGA Folding@Home team and EVGA will continue to support the Folding community initiative. However, the EVGA Bucks promotion for Folding@Home will come to an end on February 28, 2021."

The way I read that the Folding Forums is not going anywhere
 
I believe the Title of the Thread has confused many who glance at it.    "A Statement on the 2021 Status of the EVGA Folding@Home Team"
 
 
 
-----> Maybe, a slightly different worded title would have conveyed a clearer message - a title like:  
 
                        EVGA Bucks Promotion ending, for EVGA Folding@Home Team

Just as an FYI, since Monday is going to be the last day you can request points, we're going to update the point totals each business day leading up to that.  If your point totals still haven't properly updated, please email webmaster@evga.com as soon as possible.  Points will be approved until midnight PST on the 15th.

At this time, I only anticipate that we will remove the "Promotions" and My "Folding" tabs.  Points likely will not be updated from our end; certainly not on a regular basis.  
 
No plans to make any changes to this section of the EVGA Forums.

@EVGATech_LeeM
Ok Thank you for that clarification. That was the whole reason for my question. It doesn't say anything about removing the "My folding" tab nor about not updating our points in the original post. That's why I asked troy for clarification of said claims that were not included in your post. 
 
@troy8d
Sorry if I made my questions sound assumptive or doubtful, that was not my intention. It was all just news to me and I trust your direction.

Well that is sad. I wouldn't thing it would be such a hard task to code some sort of scraper to grab our points each evening and post them.
 
There is a lot of motivation in seeing our points increasing whether or not we are being compensated with EVGA bucks. I personally looked at it as a point goal for personal achievement first and the bucks were just a bonus. 
 
Also it would be nice for our team efforts, when having events or competitions, to have access to everything all together on EVGA.com rather than jumping back and forth. (especially when at times..... time is of the essence in a comp)
 
All in all it's all no big deal but it is also a nice perk in my opinion. 
 
 
 

You just got to look at what they got for sale . There is not much I see where there coming from .Bottom line stay in business tell this **** gets better . LOL that could be a few years . Here is to EVGA Doing well .
