Climbing up the Stats table

Been looking at the Boinc team stats and I was surprised to find that I'd reach the dizzy heights of 27th place.
I've got someone close on my heels that'll knock me down to 28th in a week or so, but, if the RAC figures are to be believed, I could eventually get into the top ten (just!)
Got myself a new PC for my recent birthday and it looks to have just about doubled my crunching capacity.
Amazing.....
Cheers all, have a great New Year.
Jeff.

Hi Jeff
Well done...and belated Happy Birthday.
It looks like you have a nice shiny new GTX1070 GPU in the PC...and that should do pretty well, credits wise.
The member catching up with you seems to be "Homefarm" and he has a GTX980 plus a GTX970...so, you may find you will be passed in due course.
Of course, you could retire the GTX660 and find a nice cheap GTX780 to replace it...or even a cheap 9xx series one...at least that will keep you in the ball game.
regards and Happy New Year
Tim

Hi
Think I might be bursting someones balloon, but as Johns stats (projects) are a bit behind, Homefarm are 16 million ahead of you
BOINCStats are a bit more accurate.

Thanks for the link Mikee, I'd forgotten about that site.
I'm happy to have up to date stats, and I'm still at 32 and climbing, so that's fine.
Cheers, Jeff
PS Must get my sig sorted out....

Hi Jeff,
Just a little pointer but should you be willing to crunch Collatz instead of Primegrid, that nice shiny 1070 could be getting you 4.5 million credits a day instead of 600K
Regards,
Mark

Mark,
Thanks for the heads-up on that. I took a look at Collatz and there's a message saying they aren't accepting new members. Fortunately when I put in my details, it turns out I've already got an account there so I've re-activated it. Let's see what happens.....
Cheers, Jeff

Another year gone by, and it's now 20th position for me (and climbing!)
The shiny new PC I treated myself for my 65th birthday is now a year old. It's still doing everything I want so I can't really justify any upgrades just yet.....
Cheers, Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Johns site has got a bit out of date and doesn't include many of the newer projects. Boincstats has you in 14th place (and going up a place by tomorrow)
No need for a upgrade ... but if you tweak the way Collatz is running, you could be getting an extra million a day there
See here
viewtopic.php?f=93&t=6001#p111354 and modify your
collatz_sieve_1.21_windows_x86_64__opencl_amd_gpu.config file to contain:
Code: Select all
verbose=1
kernels_per_reduction=56
threads=9
lut_size=17
sieve_size=28
sleep=1
cache_sieve=1
reduce_cpu=0
No need for a reboot or anything, Collatz will pick up the file on the next workunit.
