What is the Foldathon?

 

The Foldathon is a 2-day period each month where we Fold on any and all clients we can get our hands on. You might not be able to Fold 24/7, but if you're a Folder, there's no excuse not to Fold for these 48 hours.

 

 

 

How it works:


Sign-up below and run Folding@home for Overclock.net (team number: 37726) during the specified times. Those who Fold will be entered into a drawing to win the prizes listed below.  If you don't know what Folding@home is, feel free to make a thread in the Overclock.net Folding@Home Team forum or check these guides:


CPU and/or GPU Folding
Client for AMD GPUs only

 

 

 

When:


Monday February 18th Noon EST (GMT: 5pm) until Wednesday February 20th Noon EST (GMT: 5pm).

 

Countdown Timer

Any points they make for the Foldathon will then be the referrer's "Referred Points" (RP's).
 
The three members with the most RP's will then win the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes and are removed from the Random Draw.
If a referred member participates, then they along with their referrer will also be added to a pool for a random drawing of an OCN Ducky Keyboard.

I am in! smile.gif - Again!

OT:

Would folding with SLI disabled make a difference ?

This is my current PPD with SLI enabled (And folding SMP from Windows, but that is just me being lazy).

If your GPU usage is good across all 4 GPUs then you shouldn't have any reason to disable SLI.

Yah, it is 98 - 100% on all cards according to precision X.

Looking forward to this. It's my first Foldathon!! What would you recommend for my set up? I get some pretty sweet PPD in native linux but I feel like I could be getting a little more if I used my 7970, although with the new drivers for Windows I don't quite get what I use to.

If you're able to run native linux then I would recommend you just keep on doing that as that is just about hte best you can hope for. If you wanted to fold on the AMD GPU you'd have to make a few sacrifices in many areas to allow that, first you'd have to go to using windows because as far as I know it's not possible to fold GPUs in linux currently, then you'd also have to reduce the amount of threads that your CPU folds on because AMD GPUs use up a fair amount of CPU cycles when they fold, and you'd also be sacrificing in terms of power efficiency because you'd end up making approximately the same points but using ~200+ more watts to do so.

In conclusion just pat yourself on the back for being awesome and running native linux, and carry on. smile.gif
