So too is Poland. Massively impressed at all Poland - and the Polish people - are doing to assist Ukraine

Ah - I can explain that. Quite a few of us are into competitive crunching in team challenges such as Formula Boinc. That has 3-day Sprints and year-long Marathons in each Boinc project. If you want to learn more, I can admit you to another section of the forums (with the proviso that Formula Boinc c...

You need a ribbon about 500 miles long to get the GPU out of the Texas heat

Excellent. Its a done deal. I'll have a quick count later

I've got a stack of them here if you want any. Free. They seem okay for miners but Boinc projects seem to use PCI-e to a much greater extent. Four from one slot sounds like a better plan though as that doesn't 'tee' the PCI-e bus so badly Then you have Boinc projects like Amicable and GPUgrid where ...

@Peter Hucker please see your private messages

Noticed you'd joined TSBT on YoYo so dead chuffed to have you on-board. What are your usual projects please?

Welcome Peter

I put my faith in nature moreso than in human nature.

Overheard in a Glasgow pub before a football game ... "Aye, fine, but are ye a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist"

more than 4M points ahead of 2nd place (across the 3 days)

this is as fecked-up as i've ever known Rosetta to be ... and that's a fairly high bar

Vladimir Putin has been given a free hand to launch a war in Europe with little opposition, amid signals from the British establishment that he could only have taken as compliance and surrender.

Ready and willing to take in refugees if the bloody UK Govt Home Office would pull their fingers out and issue visas

colcannon is almost unknown in this neck of the woods. I only heard of it when an Irish woman posted about it on my gardening forums.

Guinness I do know !!

I do hope you are right. I worry though that, the more desperate Putin becomes, the more dangerous / reckless he becomes. We've already seen the idiot bombing a nuclear power station FFS

very nice - makes me want to watch Braveheart

Have they never heard of hot-swap, self-repairing RAID systems? Tsk, tsk

I think I'll drop any under a week to deadline

I got some uploaded but still no new work available

last year's SiDock sprint was a joke as it became a total lottery on whether you got fast, high-paying WU or interminably long ones which paid garbage

I need one for 1,090,479,667 please

Nice idea but my own graphic design skills are non-existent; I'm sure someone will rise to the challenge though

Re: 11/2-14/2 Roses are red ... WCG Shoot yeah - that is pretty amazing

Shoot yeah - that is pretty amazing

@PecosRiverM hits 8M points for the challenge - walks into 1st place. Well done sir

It should have been 2 - 0 ... clean through with 4 on 2 & he took the shot himself

Aberdeen just fired their manager - you should apply

This is the team who beat Real Madrid to lift the European Cup Winners Cup & now they struggle to stay in top 6 in Scotland. Mind you 1983 is a few years back ... I was at the game

Re: 11/2-14/2 Roses are red ... WCG last 12 hours

last 12 hours

If you can get Rosetta to score decently, I'll happily listen to any tips you have for me

93 secs is pretty darned good, @SolidAir79 works hard on overclocking / voltages to get 80sec timings. And yeah, it'll definitely run hotter now

No pressure to run flat out 24/7 incidentally - just feel free to ask for any tips on whichever project(s) you want to run

I think the Intel GPU would just error tbh - these parameters instruct the code to use vram and hardware resources which the Intel won't have. If it ran 24hrs/day (which I realise it won't) a 3080Ti can do around 32M points per day on Collatz. What times are you getting now? Oddly enough, I was just...

Nice card 8-) Okay collaz & RTX 3080Ti can get as low as 75 to 80 secs. There are one (possibly 2) files ending with .config in this directory C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\boinc.thesonntags.com_collatz If you put this into all of them, run times will decrease dramatically on the next & subs...

https://i.postimg.cc/F1fKDJYZ/image.png Looks great, thanks. I'll add some threads after my own test WU complete (they are on same machine). I'll also have more threads available after the current WCG challenge ends. Can maybe increase it to 8 threads per WU after Monday I noticed you had collatz o...

@Radio - can you please set your LHC project preferences to look like this so that my machine is able to run native apps for you when I attach. (The AMD gpu doesn't matter either way)

Is there anything else I should be doing? I seem to recall that Atlas Native scores much higher although that does require Linux - do you use Linux? Its a while since I tried LHC so I need to remind myself how ... if you'd like to send me your LHC weak key, I'll be happy to try it on your account

It certainly looks very nice indeed - maybe the best I've seen. Well done.

One thing I found a little disconcerting was the way it sometimes scrolls to a different part of the screen. I didn't always feel in control of what part I was viewing

You are very welcome Sir - thank you for your support. It is such a pity that crazy increases in the cost of electricity have basically killed off this rental idea (for now at least)

Yes - no less than 3 close friends all diagnosed with cancer in the space of a few weeks. Two survive

Started in Aug 2018 but really only got going a few months later. Proud to have been the #1 Newcomer in the world that year

It was a casualty of the upgrade. Will look to resurrect it

awesome - i feel for the brass and percussion sections though

Bloody YouTube ads

you sound like something from Dirty Dancing

didn't think it could be done with a windows batch file - I surprised myself.

Anyhow 13pts off 2nd place now

I found another rx570

I must say @scole of TSBT is usually right. They hate him

Surely not

I've added shoutbox to the title as it sort-of is

we are delighted to have you on the team Mr. Marathon Man / Morale Officer / Prime Mover

I think @PecosRiverM has a bunker just in case
