Sorry to hear that. Is it terminal or some caps just popped out?

My oldest GTX 1080 died yesterday.

I'm not sure. I'll do some testing after the sprint. It's a dual 1080 rig with the new 3700x installed in an ASRock x470 master sli/ac. I get normal booting into linux desktop with only the working 1080. Any other combination with both GPUs and it boots to a blinking curser.

Tis a sad day.
Though the 2070 super is faster and cheaper.

Day one Milkyway.
We find ourselves in third at the moment. Having been in second after the first hour and then a low as fourth, third is good! We have put some distance between us and [H] and are hanging tuff with XS. Lack of constant work seems to be the biggest issue on this one.

Thanks for the stats Orange Kid
Well I see depending on how many gpu's you run on the mother board,
1@x16 or2@ x8 x8 you take a good hit. I have,
2080ti @ X8 RUN TIME 1 min. 47 sec.
1080ti @ x16 RUN TIME 1 min. 37 sec.

*** Intruder Alert ***

It's the GPU, not the # of lanes. Turings hate MilkyWay. All of my 2080's are running slower than my 1080ti's, and are actually about the same speed as my 1070ti's. All of my GPUs are fed with 16 lanes.

Yup, which is why I have only 1080's and R280s running on this sprint. Everything else is getting a break this weekend.

Got it, Thanks guys

Day two Milkyway.
In third and battling hard ( not [H] ) with the Xtremests for that number two spot. We had it for a while so its doable.
24 hrs to go so lets bring it home.

Milkyway final.
A very fine third place for us. Way to go TeAm!
A rest from FB till next week, but a PG Challenge is on tap starting tomorrow. So as our GPU's cool we can warm up our CPU's with some LLR heat.

@Orange Kid , thanks for the stats!

Great job, TeAm!

 

[Ken g6]

And the next project is...MOD_PYTHON ERROR. I coulda sworn we'd already had that one.

It runs so cool and quiet though, easier on the power bill too!!!

 

[Modular]

Haha! Interesting project.

 

[Orange Kid]

Oh noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Switched projects to GPUGrid!!!!!

Dump those MOD_PYTHON ERROR tasks quick.

….and another hot humid stormy weekend ahead

 

[Orange Kid]

Only two tasks at a time? Guess I'll just let this one run.

 

[Ken g6]

Remember, GPU Grid likes its tasks to be returned within 24 hours. If you don't you get less credit.

At least the AMD GPUs get the week off.

 

[biodoc]

There are no tasks for linux. It's been that way for a couple of months or so. The new app that supports turing GPUs is ready for linux but not for windows so they are running the old app for windows users only.

 

[Orange Kid]

This sprint is totally FUBAR.
NO RTX OR LINUX GPU SUPPORT.
What a waste of time. I have three cards that will work. All slow.

Well, I'll get my 1070ti and 1070gtx up and running. Will this just straight up not work on AMD cards?

No, unfortunately, no AMD cards. And results turned in before 07/25/2019 22:00 (UTC) will not count towards the "Sprint."

 

[ao_ika_red]

Off day for me it seems. I wish you all nvidia owners a very cool weather this weekend.

Thanks. I ran a few WU's to test my computers.

Is it best to start the download at 22:01UTC?

I'm a sprint newbie.

No, although PrimeGrid is like that. In the case of Formula BOINC, you have to time your uploads to occur after 2200 UTC.
