Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Nothing special going on over here!
It's a combination of the usual beginning of month bucks folders, and the increased points return for
Kepler cards.
Should be some interesting times ahead in the points race!
Fold on! :)
Lol, sounds about right given the antics that go on sometimes.
I cannot agree with teams deciding where the points go. That would simply devolve into teams arguing for the points to go where it suits that particular team.
Points should be allocated by work completed. If it turns out that...
that is NOT two GTX670's (they are GK104) but 2x 650's or 660's, which only have 384 kepler shaders. It appears they are getting ~100K ppd each, and thats a pretty dang low end GPU!
To clarify,
a 640/650 has 384 Cuda cores
a GTX 660 has 960 and a GTX 660ti has 1344.

3770k & 2 670's (I have no idea what the frequencies are - not my rig)
I uploaded it to imageshack because you can't see images on that forum unless you are a member.
Depending on how well V7 is...
Except the CPU client is platform agnostic. So long as you have an x86 processor you can fold on anything so long as it is adequately cooled and you don't mind poor returns.
The new QRB bonus is Nvidia only and insofar as the points competition goes automatically renders useless anyone who...
Lets not turn this into a p!ssing match between [H] and eVga.
We know that the QRB for GPU has been in the works for over a year. It's not like
Stanford woke up yesterday and decided, lets put a QRB on GPU today.
They certainly did not do it to aid a particular team, so lets just leave...
I think the problem is that the GPUs can be this much more efficient than SMP, they're just harder to program for. When considering DP FLOPS numbers I think a 4p system is fairly similar to GPU. Their molecular dynamics type of problem works very well in a highly parallel environment and GPU was...
If they leave the current beta testing GPU points system as is when they release to the wild, the yes a 670 will do 2-4 times the PPD of a 3770k depending on the WU.
these are the first results of the beta testing though. Unless Stanford can prove that GPUs are that much more efficient at...
Lets not get into too much of a panic or start dropping big bucks on multiple GPUs just quite yet.
Fairly certain these numbers will be adjusted.
Isn't the whole point of this that with GPU now being able to fold the same work as SMP, if a GPU completes that same work in the same time as SMP...
***UPDATE****
Looks like eVGA may be taking this seriously :D
All Australian users should head over to this new Thread and fill in the survey.
Please assist us here as this is a rare opportunity to convice a hardware provider to give
Australian buyers a supply line that does not involve a...
Pity the 680's aren't like that. ranging from $649-699.
We still get ripped of in power supplies, cases and fans etc, GPUs have been 20-40% overpriced here for quite some time.
You can get a CPU and MB for around the equivalent $US, peripherals are still way over-priced.
A direct...
over on the eVGA forums we are trying to push for them to open
an on-line store accessable to Australia.
If you would like to support this initiative, please post here and I will link it to that forum.
The more potential customers, the more likely it may be that we can get an on-line store...
bwhahahahaha! :D:D:D:eek: MiniITX??!!!! you won't be able to see the board for the heatsink!
Not sure about it being "light". It does weigh in at 1KG!!!
It also rocks! keeps my 2600k running 4.5GHZ under 30 on idle and under 60 on full folding load.
Can't get much better than that...
