Congratulations and welcome to the world of GPU crunching :-) Your card on Collatz will do VERY well for you!

What sort of run-times are you getting on a WU? 200secs?
I think this is fool-proof but could you just try it for me please? • There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don’t

Should earn you about 14-15M per day on Collatz alone. (Unless of course you interrupt it by playing games :lol: :lol: :lol: )

yes, WU = work unit

Boinc has a heap of its own terms. This time last year, I thought FB was Facebook :roll: ; it is, of course, Formula Boinc :P We actually need a decent glossary. Does one already exist or should I get something started?

Serious question this time ... does your software tell you the actual wattage used by the card when crunching Collatz? If so, pop it on here please and I'll post a Benchmark table for you https://tsbt.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=11229

Just used Gpu-z Average of 210w and top of 248w i flashed the bios on the card so it is overclocked with the limit increased to 120%.

Hope this helps

You could try to crunch for Einstein, Asteroids or Milkyway if I were you. With such firepower, you could bring a healthy contribution to those projects.

Not exactly down. GPUgrid doesn't yet have support for the Turing cards though.

I think Einstein and Milkyway do better on AMD cards (floating point). Not sure about Asteroids. Mind you, your card will get good scores anyhow

It will run PrimeGrid PPS Sieve also. There are a lot of sub-projects on PrimeGrid. You must be sure to select only the Proth Prime Search Sieve (PPS-Sieve) for NVIDIA GPU/CUDA though in order to prevent other sub-projects or CPU WUs from running. There are several PrimeGrid sub-projects that will run on a GTX 2080 but PPS Sieve pays the best by far.

Not with all Radeons. I hate to see that only a handful of GPUs is supported. To top it up, expensive GPUs.

Basically all VEGA and NAVI cards are supported, and some later models GCN -that is, under Linux.
Under Windows all GCN and even Terascale architecture still works. It is just that HD 3000 and older will not function, and that it is hard to get HD 4000 cards to work.
