yep, at this point, i think it's mostly up to RNJesus as to who gets WUs in a given day. yesterday i got zero. today i'm crunching again. the real point is: we have better PPD per user, but will we be able to get enough WUs to make that count? if yes, we win. if not, we lose. sucks, but nothing...

uh, i didn't think of that. will do it!

i've been running the client all day today. exactly zero WUs. i get a connection, there simply aren't any. reboots and client restarts achieved nothing. i've been at it for, uhm, three days now? and i still haven't reached the point where i get my bonuses. i'm stuck at 50.000k points, even if i...

yes and no. ultraportables and 2in1 are a no-go from the start. of course any contribution helps, but at this time, like it's been said, we're in no shortage of powerful systems. those laptops would contribute very little and yeah, they could be in danger of overheating if not solidly designed...

let's hope microsoft donates some more azure capacity :laughing:

imho the whole thing is busted. i've been trying to get a WU since 6pm, no joy here.

i'm also losing at least 10% of my earned points because the WU either won't upload or will but at crawling speeds, i guess we also have to take that into account. update: yep, the servers are getting hammered again. took 20 minutes and a lot of fiddling to upload 20mb, and i lost almost 30% of...

uhm, yesterday it was not working at all. it would show the work unit number but nothing on the project number. i guess it was a glitch due to server load.

oh by the way, stanford apparently updated their web control interface. it is now possible to see what project we are contributing towards, including COVID: if you're wondering about the low score, it's because i had to recover my identity and i am still not getting bonus points. would have...

sigh, i got hit by the "no work available" all day today. can't switch to rosetta either, my CPU is really not suited for that, and i still need it for other tasks that don't involve the GPU. well, i guess having work getting done so fast there isn't any anymore is not a bad problem to have...

thanks! also, it seems the high numbers were actually a dud, my current WU is hovering around 1800k PPD, which is more in line with a 2080S, like it should. it was too good to be true... :tearsofjoy: edit: uhm, it also seems that the dreaded "needs large WU" applies though. i'm checking my...

yep, i've seen that chart. i guess their 2080 estimate is a bit conservative. they probably didn't test on an overclocked model also, mine is running full steam at 2010 clock and my memory is +1450mhz over base speeds, even faster than a 2080S stock. i remember that core clock was kinda more...

woah, just woah. is turing so incredible at computing? i'm going through my first WU and i'm scoring around 2100k PPD, way above the average for my card. i mean i did read that FaH has been implementing better modeling software but this is beyond my wildest expectations, so much that i'm...

Well well well. after two months of quarantine and boredom (hello from italy! :p) a good old fashioned race was just about what i needed! can't play Dirt Rally 24/7 after all, and this time i'm bringing some decent guns. for the last christmas race i was still sporting a 1070, but now i have a...

they do really need to put more visibility into this kind of events and yeah, give more advance notice. the last race was a blast mainly because there was competition, both from them and internally. i remember squeezing every available hour into folding to keep up the pace, while this time i...
