Amazing what GPU's are pulling down on primegrid right now..

1 guy is outpacing our entire team currently.. I have to admit, Freaking impressive!

If only I could win the lotto... Id have 10 or so dual GTX580 I7's churning away :D muahahaha

The cost of the hardware is nothing compared to the cost of running it. Peanuts!

I seem to recall the power bill is something along the lines of $1400/month...

That is the cheapest power rates EVER.

Usually it's under $1000, last month's was only $813, a lot depends on how much I have to run the AC in the Summer & the Furnace in the Winter ...

Oh, I added another 580 yesterday and have 1 more coming, I also have 2 more 460's coming ... http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/blum3.gif

That's insane performance from the 580's. Looking at your host (http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=host&proj=pgrid&hostid=166352) here, that's showing dual 580's ? And 1.2M per day...

Yes, that's about right for a pair of slightly Overclocked 580's, a pair of OC'ed 460's can pull down 600k+ ...

Wow - that's impressive. Are those additions to the fleet, or are you subbing in NVidia for ATI now?

[STE\/E]

Just Subbing in for now, have 5 5850's and 4 5870's laying around waiting for their turn to do some work ... I was going to get some newer NVIDIA Fermi Card's anyway to run the GPUGrid Project more and along came the ppsieve & tpsieve Wu's which pay much more than the GPUGrid Project does so I'm making Hay while I can at the PrimeGrid Project ...

[Maxwell]

That's awesome. I would be all ATI if it weren't for GPUGrid. Though I'm surprised you can have that many cards lying around without you visibly shaking from the anticipated credit return... ;)

Congrat .Steve, very impressive. I looked over at PG's site and they don't list the GPU apps under their available apps. Are they only for the Nvidia cards, or can AMD play too?

ATI can play as well. You just need to run an app_info file to get them working at the moment. They are hoping to have that issue fixed before the next challenge, but no guarantees...

Way to go Steve. You commitment to crunching is impressive. 1k a month for a hobby you like is not unreasonable. I have friends that spend more than that with their boats or playing golf. *Salutes*^:)^
