Tight battle in the upper midfield of F@H. I check the standings before a scotch and I am greeted to this sight:

Hmmmm......Not good. Not good at all. 11th.....

But then I have some scotch, and the screen that once told me bad news, is now bringing me good news:

Deltazx1 has backed out of the race, it looks like. My laptop soldiers on in the top 10! And I am just 2 hours away from eclipsing 4 Oppoflops!

And then there’s me, hard charging towards the leaderboard with a massive 297 points after slightly more than 24hrs as part of the team.

I’ll be the inspiration that pushes us over the top!

I thought an oppoflop was 100k. It's 1mil?

It’s taking my linux box a solid five hours to complete one WU. I might reach an Oppoflop by the end of the week. :/

It looks like Delta has gone back to folding for another team.

Way to go on the progress!

I’m just sitting here wondering if I’m going to hit top 10. My ranking was fairly static for some time at #16, but in the last few days I’ve made it up to 13th and have been staying there for a bit. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

I want to give my machine a little kick in the butt, though - for the last few hours it’s been using the CPU and the slower of the two GPUs - c’mon, machine, get that 1080 humming! I am tempted to swap the positions of the GPUs so that FAH uses the 1080 first (or at least that’s my theory)

I believe it is 1 mil. Rusty just broke that barrier and said he passed hsi first Oppoflop.

Weirdly enough, turning on an overclock made my card more consistent. I feel like when I run MSI afterburner, my GPU gets steady workloads. I don’t know if the OC is forcing the clocks to stabilize so the program has a better understanding of what my GPU can do or what, but it’s done wonders so far.

How big of a WU is it working on? I got two WUs in a row that were over 5 hours each, but I also got more than 200k for each one.

Lol shit yeah I misread. I'll just count all my friend's points as mine so I'm in the top 10 too!

The other day, before I installed the 670, I did overclock the 1080 for the first time . Now that’s making me think that I should go back and try to OC the 670 even if I do swap positions . But for now, i f it’s going to be getting jobs first it might as well do them faster than stock...

I was just thinking that we never did identify him on Oppo did we

Somehow, this is the mods’ fault. I don’t know how yet, but it is.

Lol! Not sure on the mods, but I blame Rusty for sure for this madness :)

I’m not sure. I’d have to look at the logs. It’s not a surprise. The folding box is a Linux VM running on an old server. There’s no GPU to work with.

Nice. I had a slight hiccup this evening. I upgraded to the newest version of the client, and I couldn’t make it recognize my 5700XT even manually . I ended up downgrading to the 7.5.x version I downloaded at the start of this and it found my gpu again. Now I just have to get a work unit. I’ve gotten them really inconstantly today.

Disabled eco mode on my GPU today got double my daily points.
