Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. The 280X MSRP is more or less 300$. Its just retailers have jacked prices to cash in on the coin craze. Once that dies down we will once again have 400$ 290s etc. AMD has no control over what the retailers price at and isn't making any more money.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Yeah, hopefully the mining craze will go down soon. :/ - - - Updated - - - Sweet. We need as many folders as we can get.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Since I stopped folding we dropped from a 50k+ team to a 25k+. We also seem to have lost a rank or two. Anyone have a way to add another 30k ppd or so?
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I can through in a nvidia 7300 LT. It will probably only get like 10ppd though.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I doubt even that. I will buy a new card eventually, but I can not work until the summer and already blew my Christmas money on the new case and cooler.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I posted pics! It's a nzxt source 210 with a NZXT T40 cooler and a NZXT sentry 2 fan controller. All in a black and white theme.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Oh ok cool. I didn't realise that was the case you just got. Tbh I just payed more attention to your computer's insides Edit: just looked at the pics you posted. Very cool case. I really like aesthetics. When I upgrade I will have to get a new case. I don't think I can fit any card larger than a 7770. I'm looking at either a NZXT phantom 410 or a Arc Midi R2. I don't want to spend a whole lot on a new case or else I'd get a 750D. I have no real use for a full-tower though.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I still fold from time to time but only get 1.5k ish ppd. It's been warm enough where I don't need to leave my pc folding all the time to keep it in the 60s though
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Thanks. I was going to get this, but then couldn't afford the controller. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146108 I scan ebay a lot, but $50 doesn't buy a new system.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I sometimes wish I could part with my money easier. I literally have $2000 lying around doing nothing, but I can't bring myself to buy anything(I know this isn't necessarily a bad quality). I for some reason make "milestones" with my savings. So if I have $2322.45, my mind tells me I have $322.45. I'd be that millionaire who is homeless because I couldn't bring myself so low as to buying a house. :/ Also what fan controller is that?
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. How did you get it? Working or Christmas gifts? It is the NZXT sentry 2 if that is what you are asking. 5 controllers and 5 thermal probes.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Haven't got the rig folding yet, been busy in life. And in my spare time I've changed over to Ubuntu 13.10 so it'll be a bit until I am running full steam. Sorry guys
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. We're losing spots! I have a deal going on a 280x but I need a new PSU first, so I can't fold ATM. Also; It's a nice keyboard. Getting used to the keys though! (Sorry about the one sideways one, IDK why it is.)
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. looks nice. Is it mechanical or membrane? I have the corsair k70 with cherry MX reds and it is delightful.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. It uses silicon but it feels quite clicky. It has a little bit of the bounce to it, but it feels like a quite nice middle ground. I actually assumed it was mechanical for the first few hours of games, but typing gives it away.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. News and a small bump so I can find this in my subscriptions folder. Anyways, AMD might hike the MSRP on the r9 290 series by $100. In competition for compute nvidia is launching the 750ti that will "have twice the double precision/$ over Kepler" for $225. That might bring down the prices with some competition.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I don't really get how nvidia can come from nerfing compute to saying it's a new feature...
