Hi all!
Congratulations!
Apparently you guys have done some awesome work, when I was gone!
I can see you're right up my tail, surpassing me very quickly.
If any one of you are still looking for GPUs in the near future, keep an eye out for RTX 3070, or 3080.
Don't bother paying the full price from the scalpers that are trying to get twice the money for it.
The 3000 series GPUs should come down in price in a good month, (or two the most).
The 3070 should be about as fast, or a tad faster than the RTX 2080Ti, and should go for $700 less!
The 3080 should be about 20% faster, and still costs about $100 less.
Don't bother with AMD,
While their RX 6900XT trades blows with a 3080/3090 in gaming, they perform very poorly compared to a 3070 in OpenCL compute (what Folding is).
Especially now that folding has Cuda acceleration enabled on NVidia cards.
So December might be the month for an upgrade!
I myself have invested more time on Boinc lately, but will still in the near future support folding (when the 5nm GPUs come available).
Greetings all!
