Does 'client-type' 'advanced' work on CPUs like it does on GPUs? I'm getting more GPU WUs now (with lower PPD than I used to get), but I'm boom or bust on CPU WUs.
Find yourself here on this list:How often does F@H update the participating computers stats? https://stats.foldingathome.org/os
seems unlikely that they have had the same numbers for over a week
I'm not finding where to see the total computing power. Has the entirety of F@H reached 2 Exaflops yet?Find yourself here on this list:

I imagine you're correct. It looks like they periodically update that OS stats page and leave it as a static page after each update, and I've been checking it daily to see if they are getting close to 2 exaflops.My apologies, I mis-read your post.
Personal opinion: I am certain such an impressive milestone will be widely reported once that happens.
In principle, yes. Quantitatively it is hard to say from the outside. The announcements when projects are moved to "advanced" or to "full" are public, but this doesn't show the volume of the work, nor its relation to current computing capacity.Does 'client-type' 'advanced' work on CPUs like it does on GPUs?
I've been using high end Seasonics for years now, as I like to get a good decade out of a PSU - prior to seasonics, I was using Antecs and PC Power and Cooling supplies. The "sweet spot" of the efficiency curve on any PSU is in the 40 to 60% of capacity range, so for a host with a 125W CPU and minimal of everything else, I would prefer a 300w supply, but there are rarely any quality supplies in that range, so I've ended up with the lowest power premium unit for most of my hosts (~500watts, sometimes fanless because its the lowest voltage high end option). This may end up working to my advantage now that I'm looking at tossing some video cards that are more than just basic cards in these hosts. That said, the oldest of these supplies was purchased with the Q9650 in like... 2008, so its a 12 year old PSU that probably shouldn't run >75% max capacity for any significant amount of time.The great thing about a Silver/Gold or higher name-brand PSU is that they typically deliver 100% power, 24/7. Buy a cheapo 1000w unit, and you are lucky if they provide half that, short term, without failure. (not to mention the 2-3% efficiency gain [at least] with the better units). So congrats on the foresight to purchase those!
This review shows that the 2060 Super can pull > 250 watt on furmark, and a 2070 super can pull > 310 watts. https://www.anandtech.com/show/14586/geforce-rtx-2070-super-rtx-2060-super-review/15Personally, I have found this 'e-sport' VERY addictive. Try to up the game to the 2060 Super or better, is my suggestion. For example, I have 9 EVGA GTX 1070's, because the price hit the sweet spot of $200-ish ( used, ebay) each some months back. They Fold under Linux at about (going on memory) 650,000 ppd. And they are fairly efficient with a TDP of 150watts (going on memory again). My ONE 2080Ti however gets 3,000,000 ppd at 250W TDP!!!! One card (2080Ti) could replace 4.5 1070's! (Warmer weather has arrived, so I can't run the 1070s for this challenge, without incurring a huge energy bill).
All that said, your contribution is greatly appreciated!
PS: Not all projects perform so well with the 2080Ti....the quick return bonus system of F@H isn't implemented in other projects (although GPU Grid does award more for fast returns).

Going steady. :-)
704 million ahead... I think its fair to say (unless some of you guys quit early, please don't)
That we have won this one !
Waddya say, Sonny?! Speak up! All I hear is open header exhaust sound!....Kind of stuck in his old ways given he is 63.....

Fan noise!? Pfffft. These things are SILENT!
I am trying to put some work in on this. I've downloaded the client (twice now, actually) and started it but it refuses to download any work units. It keeps saying 'No WUs available for this configuration' and 'Could not get an assignment' (in the log). I'm on a laptop with i7-6700HQ and a GTX-1070. Should I give up again?
Thanks, apparently I just needed to be more patient. It finally picked one up.Pause them resume folding, sometimes it sure in the heck helps me. May take a few mins but a good chance you will pick one up i think.
The updated the page - 2.3 exaflops!!!My apologies, I mis-read your post.

Currently, PPD on CPUs is almost meaningless, due to an extreme range between CPU projects with very low PPD and ones with very high PPD.Anyone know the predicted ppd of a partially if not fully loaded 3950x?
It can honestly push 128 threads. Maybe more, but I don't have more to try. B-)Not even sure if folding could honesty push 32 threads?
Anyone know the predicted ppd of a partially if not fully loaded 3950x? I went over the stimulus amount and what was planned upgrade wise,i had my heart set on a 3900x but ultimately if i put off 2 things for a few weeks a 3950x certainly is affordable. I want as much cpu as my dollar can get me, not giving a damn if games only push 12 threads now, i wanna perhaps game/fold on it. Not even sure if folding could honesty push 32 threads? Can it?
Not even sure if folding on both cpu+gpu will still present the bottleneck the 7700k provides when loaded? I wouldn't mind casually loading up 28 threads when not gaming to folding, at least 24 currently for what i play.
A NH-D15 cooler and MP600 1TB nvme was all i planned to put off 2 weeks, I did dump like $40 off my budget not going rgb on the ram but at this point i care purely about function over looks. It comes like right to about $1,200 its almost meant to be. No issues spending the coin, just need to warrant folding actually putting it to use.
