Oh well I tried but won't be able to deliver these WUs. 14 minutes left.
These are all sitting around the 97th percentile with around 237 hours elapsed.

I will still let them finish.

4 minutes to go. Hope the 2 remaining gpu units I had got delivered in time. They should have finished some 3 hours ago, but I'm not home to make sure boinc sent them.

Our first race of the year and we're already in the top 10! WTG, TeAm!

Technically, there are still some results that have to be verified. But we'd have to have done close to 50 bad WUs to lose our 10th place spot.

[zzuupp]

Thanks for all of the stats. 10th is a great way to start the year!

That one WU that I knew was going to really close: 18:14:16 ! Missed it by that much

[biodoc]

Great race everyone! Thanks to all who jumped in to help us finish at 10th place!

thanks for all the stats, Peter, Ken_g6 and Kiska!

[Kiska]

Nice! I might do a verification stat image. Well I have 2 days until the 5th Charity Race. 2 weeks of crunching and stats.

[lane42]

Not too bad: only 3 WUs not validated. There is plenty of margin.

[Ken g6]

Thanks for the cleanup stats, Peter!

[Kiska]

So in the end we still come out 10th place

Sorry for causing us to lose 54,446 points

Is this an indicator that I have a hardware issue on my machine, or is it normal for some WU's returned to not be valid? The system I was running this on is not overclocked, neither video card I ran it on is overclocked, and I don't remember experiencing any system instability during that time period.

No problem losing points. We have a solid 10th position. The last time we ran GFN in a race I was borking WUs right and left so I had to reduce the memory clock in my factory OC'd cards. In this last race the cards were all fine.

I did have the latest nvidia drivers installed this time (310.90). I'm at a loss for an explanation.
