I wonder if OCN's Egliman will be bringing his 60,000,000 ppd to the table for this race...

Make sure you have the correct Visual C++ libraries

and drivers for AMD cards

Thanks Tony, I'll give that a shot. Knowing which C++ download to use has been a problem for me in the past.

Too many choices, I think the above is what is needed.

That unfortunately did not work, but the latest AMD driver update seems to have rectified the problem! Now there is just one machine left that can't get any work, a GTX 1060.

FYI guys in the Boinc Notices.

Collatz Conjecture: Router/Firewall Upgrade
I will be installing a new firewall later this evening around 9pm CDT. If all goes as planned, the site will be inaccessible for only a minute or two. If things really don't go as planned, I'll revert back to the existing router/firewall.

get both the x64 and x86
and of course its windows, so reboot

latest and greatest drivers for NVidia are working for me.

///Insert war cry here///

The fun starts in 20 minutes! OCN's Egilman is bringing 60M+ ppd to the table, so make sure you are wearing a helmet, we don't need any injuries in case we get knocked down by a super-sonic shockwave if he blows by our TeAm.

 

[crashtech]

"If" he blows by us???? 60M sounds like a lot of firepower to me!

 

[iwajabitw]

I'm still at work for another 2 hrs, is time to release yet?

A look at the marathon as we get underway in the sprint.
MIght we pick up a spot? Never know, points are a plenty in this project.

From Egilman on OCN's page:

.....Back a few months ago when I had all my cards it would have been a little low, (65 mil/day average) But since I've lost a few cards it's more like 50.....

The real thing is this, are Beercan and 4thkor joining in? they can both do 50/day also.....

I'm sure Emoga and tictoc might throw down a few 10's of mils also...
.....

 

[TennesseeTony]

Be ye not dismayed my brothers! A single fast card is worth 4 million plus ppd. We can hold our own...Possibly.

EVGA plans to fight, so that leaves XtremeSystems as an unknown. I say it's possible.

 

[StefanR5R]

@iwajabitw, yep, the UTC clock struck 2200 forty minutes ago, and the sprint page has been nulled.

 

[TennesseeTony]

In about 10 minutes....I'm expecting someone in League Two to start this Sprint with at least 150,000,000 points. This is going to be one heck of a topsy-turvy race for evenly matched teams! May the tasks forever be in your favor! And plentiful...

 

[TennesseeTony]

Maybe I should have said "....If everyone releases the hounds as one..." Lol, but hey, 60 MILLION from OCN and 35 Million from us, you can see how this is going to be quite interesting from a points perspective. As OrangeKid says, there are points a plenty!

 

[crashtech]

Looks like we've stepped out into second overall, for now...

[Ken g6]

Wow! Both our team and OCN are ahead of all the teams in the other leagues. This is looking like a battle royale!

 

[TennesseeTony]

The top 2 in league one are entertaining to watch trade places seemingly every hour.

 

[TennesseeTony]

I presume Egilman is aka EG, on stats sites. I was surprised to see the arrangement of the top 10 line-up a few moments ago. And congrats Crash!

One update later, and one finally functional 1060 later, crashtech takes 5th for the day, and close to moving up to 4th! Well done!

 

[crashtech]

Finally I have all members of my ragtag, fugitive fleet crunching away for the TeAm!

 

[Orange Kid]

In second for now, but we knew that there would be competition on this one,

[crashtech]

We may overtake EVGA in the marathon, interesting.

Edit: I'm surprised that I'm able to be a player in this project, since most of my GPUS are second hand 7970's and the like. Collatz seems to make good use of old AMD hardware!
