PrimeGrid Challenges 2021

[Markfw]

I've only taken one 3070 off of F@H, but the moment PG is over it's going back on.

both my 3070ti and 3080ti go right back the minute PG is over, maybe before if my units can't finish before the race is over, so I am doing the same.

Current estimates are 17.2 hours for unit 22 on 3070ti, and 15 hours for DYFL on 3080ti

 

[Markfw]

Has anybody else done the extreme DYFL ? My is still on tract for 15 hours. Whats the PPD on that ? 10 hours to go.

This host with a 3080ti is earning ~951,500 points for each DYFL task:

All Do You Feel Lucky? tasks for computer 505815

Edit:
That's almost 1.5 million ppd.

wow.... when does the next day end ? How many hours from now ? (for stats) I want to see some numbers of how I am doing, but may have to wait until tomorrow.

Stats are updated every 15 minutes or so. Click the Username or Team links from any of my stats posts for the challenge you want. (There's only one post for this challenge so far.)

I don't see you listed at all. You didn't download your work early, did you?

I have 9 hours until my first unit uploads. Looks like I will have 2 units uploading about 5 am tomorrow PST

My GTX 1080 Ti's uploaded their first round of DYFLs a few hours ago. Credit is 951,500…951,900. A 1080 Ti takes about 1d19h for that.

For quite a while after you finished and reported a task, its credit may remain "pending" in your results (tasks) table on the PG website. But you can look the credit up in your "pending credit" table instead. But all credit shows up immediately in the above linked challenge stats, pending or not.

I won't have anything till at least 4:15 am tomorrow morning. Dying to see my ppd for these 2 cards. Together, even at MSRP, they cost me over $2250, I hope they are worth it.

And so far, 1/3rd of all my challenge points come from GPUs, and the other 2/3rds from CPUs. :-O

(Did I ever say something along the lines of CPUs aren't worthwhile in this challenge?)

I just lost 1/2 my total processing, a power strip blew ! Of all things, not the circuit breaker, but its on the 3070TI circuit (new draw) So I ordered a new 15a strip from amazon, but it won't be here till Sunday.

Man, when you have a data center, any little thing can blow the place apart. This had 5 computers, and the router on it. But affected everything ! (the router)

 

[VirtualLarry]

Surprised that you're not wired for 240V, Mark, and using Metered PDUs (240V).

That's what I'm using for half of my mining stuff, my mining servers, using a Tripp-Lite metered (Amps) PDU @ 240V. Any PFC PSU (without that 120V/240V red switch in back) should be kosher running on 240V input, and should actually run MORE efficiently at the PSU.

I would have to rewire the house at a ridiculous cost (thousands) and then change all the lights and devices ? NO, this is not Europe, where do you live ? Or is it all in one room ? I have 19 computers all over the house for heat and AC. (as well as power distribution, my current problem, I added one video card)

Mostly in one location. I am in the USA; my wall AC(*) circuit is 240V/20A, plugged in a PDU and went to town.

(*) Edit: Air Conditioner circuit

Posted in the wrong thread. So I'll just pretend that I was going to say that I hope you get things sorted out soon, Mark!

Thanks ! My last adjustment of the power cords got me through the night ! I am not sure if one or 2 units finished last night, but I show on the stats now at number 85 and 1,680,000 (approx) points.

Now looks like 21.5 hours for 3070ti and 14.5 hours on 3080ti for the DYFLs in progress.

 

[StefanR5R]

We are catching up with CNT a bit now. That's certainly because @Ken g6 finally showed up with results just now! :-)

The last column in this table is the number of results. You have got 2 at the moment.

Your graphs at SG's site show two quarter-hour updates in which you made points too. The first 951,733 update must have been a DYFL, and the second 727,826 update a GFN-22.

Midnight is a bad time to remember to do stats. Let's try...

Day 2.5 stats:

Edit: I see what's going on around ranks 20-22:

 

[StefanR5R]

CNT may be sandbagging a lot.
Their score after 3.0 days: 131 M
Their score after 3.0 days in the 12/2019 challenge at the same projects: 135 M
Their bunker dump after ~4 days in the 12/2019 challenge: almost +90 M
(source)

 

[StefanR5R]

...oh, and some more day 3.0 stats:
GFN-21: 2 invalid, 7 inconclusive
GFN-22: 0 invalid, 0 inconclusive
GFN-DYFL: 0 invalid, 2 inconclusive
(source)

I presume these returns come from folks who answer the "do you feel lucky" question with "yes" in their CPU, RAM, and GPU clock and voltage settings. ;-)

 

[StefanR5R]

so far, 1/3rd of all my challenge points come from GPUs, and the other 2/3rds from CPUs. :-O

I had improved my CPU configs in the meantime. Just now I did the math what the final output should be if everything keeps working as it is now. In the end, just ¼ will be from my GPUs, and ¾ from my CPUs.

 

[lane42]

Late to the race but just added 3 GPU'S. Skipping a GTX 970.

 

[Markfw]

where are todays stats ?

 

[Ken g6]

Late. I've now set an alarm. Maybe now I'll remember to do stats on time.

I can see how midnight is inconvenient as a time to post stats. But did noon stats not work for you either?

[Skillz]

Well team, if we finish this Challenge in 1st place right ahead of CNT who can maintain a 2nd place lead over 3rd place AC we will finish the year off with an overall series tie with AC for 1st place.

We're around halfway into this challenge so far. So if anyone has any spare GPUs they can throw on the challenge, now is the time to add them.
