You were still in high school when I did my first nuclear reactor startup..... though you at least were born. I have one reactor operator co-worker (if you can call him that, he doesn't do much work) who wasn't even born last century.

Threat radar remains clear...... if any of you youngsters come for me, I'm not building an anti-mowing shelter.... I'm buying one of these As it is, I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my RTX5070ti rig to 64GB of DDR5 to unlock the beta WUs. Also I still have my RTX3070 shutdown, I use that...

Duke Nukem 3D was probably the best, but I liked this one: And you didn't even need one of these to play it.... but man, having that thing sticking out of your beige-box would look awesome. I just re-read some of the fine print. Even back then we were worried about shipping tech to China.

LMAO..... perfect. I miss the old school trash talking.... snifff 😥

Come for me.... I dare you

And you replied while I was typing.... LOL. OK, so maybe this is just how it is going to be with these units. I will see how the next unit goes.

having finished 23 frames on the 617.14 driver , I then plugged my log into Excel..... 7:03 minutes a frame, which looks like a slight improvement, but the units vary from 6:58 to 7:19 minutes. I will take the improvement, but the variance is troublesome. I am used to units finishing frames...

I bit the bullet and installed that new driver. In the day and age of 32 cores, 64GB Ram, and solid state drives, IT SHOULD NOT TAKE 5 MINUTES to reboot a machine. We've gone back to the '90's. I also installed WinBlows updates and finally got around to fixing the conflicts between 3 pieces of...

are 32 cores enough? 😉

Yes. Looking at my logs, though much less dramatic, I have 1 that is 2 sec/frame faster, but is 1.5MPPPD LESS. But in general they are all around 7:10 to 7:20 TPF, seems like the baseline for an RTX5080 is right around 60MPPD (about double normal).

I guess your assessment is correct, a 32GB kit is still cheaper than a RTX50 series card, and now that we know how to get the units regularly, it's mildly tempting to upgrade my RTX507ti rig.

Sorry to hear that. Stay [H]ard brother..... it's been 5 years since I lost my wife to the big C, and 7 since I lost my Dad to it.... I feel you. Do what you have to do.

now if only I can find a solution to this nonsense: It is super annoying to wait over an hour to get a WU, when the machine can finish a WU in under 3 hours..... it's a lot of downtime.

Beta flag did the trick, I just got one. Weird, I didn't need the flag a few days ago, but now I do. Oh well, I have one now, and we know the "real requirements" to get these units.
