Depends whether I can get my GTX570 bearing shrubber back in service by then or not. Confused

It's an opportunity to expand our taunt of the MuskEaters, therefore it is mandatory.

Thanks! I didn't know about this and have had the ol' GPU bouncing around a few projects. Now it's dedicated to this for the time being.

Always up for a PG challenge! Won't have much firepower to contribute but will send what I've got into the fray

CPU's hardly matter in this, I'm seeing ~3.5hrs on CPU vs. 2.25min. on GPU.

Unless you're running a warehouse full of CPU's. Rolling Eyes

Drat, maybe I'll skip this one. On the other hand, every computer cycle is sacred, especially during a challenge! #Scramble

PrimeGrid doesn't play nice with my computer anymore.

What's that little trick to get WU's to report immediately? That could be useful as I won't be home when this challenge ends...

Sent a PM.

Just testing the WU's for the PG challenge. Looks like they are gonna take considerably less time that the the original 7hrs 42mins 32 secs.
Very Happy

worked it out they will be down at about 3hrs 24mins approx

sadly I won't arrive home until after the challenge starts and the following day go to work before it ends Sad

Ditch Day? Razz

I ran 2 WU's on the i5-2500K, both took 1hr. 38min. Cool

Yeah I start work at 11am (GMT/BST Lol I can never remember which) and don't get home until almost 21:00 GMT/BST : Cool

So I need to either calculate how long the WU's will take and download however many it will take to be will be completed just after the start of the challenge with the Additional Work Buffer set to 0.0 or wait until I get home if thats gonna be a shorter time period than a WU takes to complete.

Maybe download just enough WU's to be sure to finish before the challenge and in Preferences, set the hours when network usage is allowed to start 1min. after the start of the challenge and end sometime after you'll return home so you can reset it then. Idea

In this bit:

I haven't tried this, but it looks good in theory. Rolling Eyes

I'll be there Gem.

Just not ramped up yet due to getting home late. Should start to build some shrubs in the next few hours.

Went out this evening, nice Barbie (and the food wasn't bad either).

Unfortunately forgot about the Challenge, and just got back, slightly the worse for wear. Only one GTS250, I'm afraid.
