I got the warp coils aligned and recalibrated. I am back to full warp speed.

SatGuys is now in the #63 spot. We are also now in position to overtake three teams in the next two weeks to jump into the Top 50's. Poland, PitCrew and Dutch Power Cows will soon bow to us.

I'm doing a WU right now that is a real average killer. less than 16k points and 1.5 days to complete on a 970. PRCG 11430 over 22min TPF

We need a retching emoticon for this post. What Project and Run, etc., is it so we can keep an eye out for it?

I just received a Class Settlement email for the GTX 970 I bought. Has anyone else seen this?

If You Are A U.S. Resident And You Purchased A GeForce GTX 970 Graphics Processing Unit in the U.S. Between September 1, 2014 to August 24, 2016, You May Be Entitled To Payment From A Class Action Settlement
In re NVIDIA GTX 970 Graphics Chip Litigation, Case No. 15-CV-00760-PJH

WHAT IS THIS NOTICE ABOUT?
A lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, (the “Litigation”) that may affect your rights. The Litigation claims that NVIDIA Corporation (“NVIDIA”), Gigabyte Global Business Corporation, G.B.T. Inc., ASUS Computer International, and EVGA Corporation (collectively, “Defendants”) sold GeForce GTX 970 graphics processing units (“GTX 970 GPU”) to consumers based on inaccurate information regarding the GTX 970 GPU’s specifications and performance. Defendants deny these claims. The Court did not rule in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendants. Instead, the parties agreed to a proposed settlement.

AM I A MEMBER OF THE CLASS?
The class is defined as all persons and entities residing in the United States of America who purchased a GTX 970 GPU in the U.S. from the Defendants, the AIC Partners (defined in the full notice) or their authorized retailers between September 1, 2014 to August 24, 2016 other than for purposes of resale or distribution.

It's supposed to be a $30 settlement per GTX 970 card. Buying through Amazon should be easy to provide the Invoice required.

Here's a link over at AnandTech discussing the settlement, so I guess it's legit: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10532/nvidia-gtx-970-settlement-claims

I received a notice about the suit a few months ago from Newegg. I got that notice a couple of days ago. I think we were short changed at $30

 

[KE4EST]

I got the notice and every time I go to fill out the form, it is broke or not responding. Must be a lot of people claiming.

So, did your legally-challenged GTX 970 get a better WU to process? . I noticed that your FAH Client must be set to download the next WU at 99% and not 100%. Since your Bonus Clock starts when download the WU, and at 20+ minutes to process the last percent, you effectively turned off your Folding rig for that amount of time.

Go into your Configuration, Expert Options, and set/create an Extra Client Options named "next-unit-percentage" with the value of 100.

Chances are your Client will be Cleaning Up while the next WU downloads and won't have to wait for the download to complete to start processing. With modern download speeds setting this Option maximizes your Points awarded to the work your Folding Rig does.

I did do that. But this program has a mind of it's own.

 

[Foxbat]

I put mine in the Extra Client Options so it apples to all the Slots for the Client:

Try that and I think you'll see better results.

 

[Magic Static]

It's so easy when you can get the info from somebody that knows what they are doing. Thanks

I know this was mentioned earlier in this thread, but with 4233+ posts I thought I'd make it easier on you. Go Team!!!!

 

[Magic Static]

I confirmed the setting to be working now Hopefully I'll see a few more 900,000 point days, barring any more of those stingy work units

 

[Magic Static]

Well I tied into another very stingy unit on my other machine. WTF??

 

[Magic Static]

Jumped the gun a bit on that assumption. The WU is now revised to ETA 12.5hrs credit 85,000

 

[Foxbat]

That's good. I've seen wildly wrong estimates before on some WUs, but by the time they finish 3-5% the estimate falls more in line with reality.

I checked the Folding Forum for signs that Project 10494 might be a troublemaker. The only thing that made sense was the comment that this Project can have high system RAM requirements. Regarding the 11430 project from before, others are reporting the ridiculously long frame/completion times: Project 11430 taking 13 hours for 24k credit

 

[Magic Static]

That's nice. They are dumping the 11420 WUs I finished mine so no one else has to get it reassigned to them.

Finally. FINALLY! It looks as if I finally have my Linux box up and stable. And to think back in the day I was a wiz in 8 or so different ix dialects (and they cost money back then too) Things have changed, now where do I hook up a Wise 60 terminal .

I believe that was spelled Wyse.
