IckesTheSane Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 What year is this?! The folding thread is the first on the community page and the prophet of mephisto, er, prophetik music, still wants to build you a computer!? I'm currently folding with an nVidia 1080 I acquired used over Christmas (up from an nVidia 460, finally!), and an AMD FX-8250 (8 threads at 4 GHz). What's interesting is even though the CPU is pretty much right at 100%, the GPU only floats between 35-50 percent haven't really dug into why. If you're looking _just_ at number of Work Units, for a while I was running the browser client, NaCl, but that's now deprecated: http://nacl.foldingathome.org/ That had a lot of really small WU's, so I could crank through a WU in maybe an hour. Had a decent computer at work at the time, but it would have been frowned upon to run the full client. I could leave the web browser open, though. Glad it's getting some traction again! I think a couple weeks ago they actually ran out of WU's to hand out because so many people joined up to help out with COVID-19 research. That with the new GPU card got me thinking about it again!

stapler117 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 It's been a long time and it's good to be back. Installing my new 1660 today should give me a nice numbers boost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Folding@Home has also been doing protein folds for COVID-19 research as well, so if you've dorpped off, now's a great time to get back to running the program on your computers, folks!

brink-of-time Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I've been focusing mostly on the COVID folding. Its cool they can let you focus on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Finally achieved 10,000,000 points yesterday. All for a good cause! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorchForge Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Guess Covid gave this a boost the past year. Glad to see people still fighting the good fight. Daylectorbr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdftesla Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Is anybody out there? Team ocremix is currently in the top 1,800 teams in the world (we're ranked 1,768 currently, to be exact). I personally just broke into the top 13,000 for individual donors. Unfortunately, I will be taking a break from folding and because I'm the only person still folding for our team I expect our ranking will start to tank pretty quickly. The ranking and points are ultimately meaningless, of course. The real point of the whole thing is to hopefully cure some nasty diseases. But I have to admit that watching us climb the ranks over the past 15 years has certainly been fun. If you can, please consider donating some CPU/GPU power to a worthy cause.
