It's quiet in here.
Getting a RTX 2080 next week, Anyone else getting new hardware.

 

[Rudy Toody]

I've been running my new 2700X for a couple of days on Rakesearch, about 500K so far. With it and my 1700X I'll hit 3M tomorrow.

Well, I get new hardware every month. The latest is a 2060. 850k on F@H

The calm b4 the storm.
A couple of 2070's on the horizon for this year.

You will like them for DC, on most projects they are equal or GREATER than a 1080Ti in performance. Using MSI Afterburner and letting it do the "auto OC" for the curve really lets them perform without hitting/ upping the mem clocks. I'm sure I could get more out of it hitting them mem, but I watch temps more than anything. I really need to move it to a Linux box, pure laziness prevents this at this time..........

The trouble I have with Linux is xserver overclocks the gpu but underclocks
the memory.

Got a Radeon VII en route. Planning on upgrading 1st generation Ryzen/TR CPUs to the new Zen 2 based chips in 2H 2019.

I bought a used 1080 Ti last month and am on the fence with building a new threadripper system. The right side of my brain says to wait for Zen 2 (claims for lower power usage) but the left side of brain says build a new system NOW, lol.

Nothing special here, but I bought an RX580 and a 1070gtx to mess around with in Linux. I've been spending the past few weeks trying to get both cards up and running on Linux Mint using a virtual machine and GPU passthrough to use the 1070gtx for folding and the RX580 for Milkyway at the same time, on the same motherboard.

It's been quite the adventure. I'm almost there - just need to figure out why Folding at Home won't install on my Virtual Machine. It gives me a dpkg error. I hope to get it sorted out this weekend.

This is true but there seem to be some work around for that from what I have researched................due to my "programming" skills I have not attempted anything to resolve that.

I thought I saw something someware that said the overclocking
was turned off by default. Any who just got the 2080ti so will
see what it does in Gpugrid, Seti
wow, these things are fast. Did a Seti BLC 31 workunit on a 1080
in 1 min. 14 sec. 46 seconds on the 2080ti, me Happy

The only thing I have been doing is getting rid of my remaining quad-core systems to reduce power consumption, but do have a 10-core E5-2680v2 in hand that will take the place of a 3930K this weekend. Also I scored a 1060 6GB locally for $100 that relieved an ailing, overheating 7970 this week.

Is that my old 3930k ?

Maybe? I honestly don't remember, I've had a few. My plan was to sell it to offset the cost of the 2680v2... Do you want it?

I have no motherboards to support it. go ahead and sell it, just curious. When I took it out, I think that is exactly the cpu I put in its place !

 

[crashtech]

yeah, I was really hoping to start replacing my Sandy/Ivy Xeon systems with Haswell/Broadwell ones this year, but life won't let me right now.
