Hello
Have been away from this project for a while and saw that they finally released optimized applications for the new Nvidia cards.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't all that worthwhile crunching on a GTX 1080 back then vs. a CPU - I think it was equal to about 2 modern CPU threads in terms of speed. Maybe a bit more.
So should I even bother crunching with the GPU? Will I really get that many workunits completed? Or would it be more worth my while to crunch with a few of my 3rd gen Ryzen's?

Hopefully crunching on the GPU is more optimized than it used to be. If not, I still love the science this project is doing. Can always keep the GPUs at folding at home, for now.

thanks for any help

Here are my results:

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Might throw them at Milkyway. I'm not a fan of the numbers projects, even though they yank in stupidly high amounts of credit.

I agree. I tried the 'collatz' one for a little bit and it just dumps credits on you, but it doesn't feel like it's really contributing much.
