Race To 100,000-Spin vs Fold

[Big Whiskey]

I noticed the other day that the two projects I'm running will hit 100,000 about same time.

SpinHenge 82,000 RAC 1370+
Folding 85,000 PPD 1000+

7 cores running SpinHenge
2 cores and 3 GPU's Folding

In about two weeks I'll have two 100,000 point projects

Stuck on laundry detail-Spinnin' and a Foldin'
Cheers

100,000 in any project is a great achievement, especially Folding. My PCs struggle with that.

Good milestones

I hit 900,000 in WCG yesterday

Are the GPU's worth the expense in Folding?

[Big Whiskey]

Congrats spikey

Are the GPU's worth the expense in Folding?

I think so

it would take 30+ computers to generate the same data 1 GPU does
30 computers @ 200 watts =6000 watts
1 X1900XT @ 65 watts = 65 watts
one X1900XT stock speeds earns 500 ppd

I like the fact I can run Boinc and Folding at the same time on a single core
my 3200+ is running Boinc and X1600Pro GPU Folding

the X1600 cost me $150 CAD and still gets me 110 PPD and I didn't have to built another box
