No, unfortunately it won't from my estimations, even if we had dozens upon dozens of untapped Ati cards.
I reckon if they released a proper client we could get an average of 10-15k ppd per card, (pretty reasonable, I think, including all the lower end 3870s, 4670s, 4550s, etc, as well as the high end 4870s, 5850s, and 5870s), which would mean we would need roughly 200 cards to make up the deficit with EVGA. This is obviously above what any person could reasonably make up in a few months, but the [H]ard forums are huge, and full of people who jumped on the Cypress/Juniper bandwagon. But the main problems would be trying to get all these people to fold, and actually getting a client out.
I'm outputting ~11k PPD less now with my 9800GX2 out of the race.
Maybe if my company's first game will be released soon and sells really well I could get some fancy new hardware with the cash in a month or two *hint hint*

We got a range of different games planned this year. Since this is our first game things are taking fairly long due to unforeseen things, but we hope to have a playable version ready soon.
I totally agree with you in the event Stanford finally released a good Ati client. We could probably catch up or at least push back the overtake to a year and beyond. OTOH, I expect EVGA would just make up for the increase in our production with relatively little effort and in quick fashion, like they did recently when they saw their overtake increased to the half year mark because of our efforts.
I respectfully disagree. I've been looking very closely at this on a daily basis and it's apparent to me that their program is likely not the only reason. I'm surprised I'm the only one who sees things otherwise.
. Its not the only reason to be sure but it just seemed suspicious that on the 1st of the month their PPD jumped a lot. I also know that they are running a lot of fermi cards over there, and we are hurting due to not having tiger online at the moment, also the lack of A2 WU isn't helping and people on the [H]orde seem to be having endless problems with the a3 -bigadv WUI am getting sick of all the A3 WUs, to be honest, even the standard ones. A3 is not as accepting of overclocks as older A1 and A2 WUs regardless of OS. I have to reduce the CPU frequency a substantial amount to get these WUs to run well at all. Very annoying since I had little to no issues after so many years. Right now, the only thing that is propping my production is GPU.
What happens on the first of every month?Feel free to disagree
Their current trend line supports your theory. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=111065
That means about a quarter of their production is due to the EVGA bucks program. But even without these people, they are still soundly beating us. Or is 6.5 now smaller than 4?
