FYI, the "Arms Race" is heating up.
I just acquired a GTX960 as a companion for the GTX980. I may put the 960 in another machine and move the 750ti over to the T7400. When installed, I should be nearing 1 Million PPD.

Looks like I may need to step up my game...FYI, the "Arms Race" is heating up.
My T7400 should be here today. Would have been here yesterday, but ice storms in Asheville, brought the city to a halt yesterday.
That will bring a couple more GPU's back on-line.
I will see what the CPU's produce for a couple of days with the T7400.

It looks like I am getting between 16 to 20K per day from the CPU's. I have it set for 6 cores. About 300K from the GTX980.
I see your twisted logic now, talking me out of the GTX 980 Ti card! I'm almost down in #7 position in Points production. I thought I'd be able to break 500K PPD, but I keep on coming up just a little short. I could have been crushing it with the 980 Ti, but no, I had to listen to logic!
#90! Way to Fold, Team! I suppose it's time for a new Avatar...
With all this extra Folding awesomeness we're now #29 in daily Points production. Remember BadBirdies? They're #43. Bye-bye, Birdies!
We also passed 1,100,000,000 Points!

Next week I'll get to play. I wonder what kind of PPD I get with 2 960s, a 750TI and One i7 quadcore CPU 
BTW setting up the T7400 right now. Faster than I thought it would be. I mean the system in general, have not started folding with it yet. Oh did I mention, LOUD VERY LOUD. Once I have it setup I will back off on all these fans running wide open in it.
I suppose I can live with this for now. 
We have high winds in the area and right after I had rebooted the T7400 (I'm still trying to fix my Folding Slots) the power blipped out and back on. I figured that everything would come back up, but my T7400 stayed down. A quick trip to the basement found the Dell in Max Fan mode and D1, D3, and D4 Diagnostic LEDs lit. I had to pull the power for a minute to clear the computer. When it came back up, it was missing the Checkpoints and so everything started over again from 0! A few minutes later and I would have a been okay. Lucky me, and I'm falling even further behind!
Bam! Lights out again! And another lost WU! Grrr™
(yeah, yeah, I know, I should have my Folders on a UPS. I should, but I don't...)

Make sure the side panel is closed before start-up. Otherwise, you get a thermal compromise error that triggers the fans to high. And they sure are loud on high speed.
Yes, that is what it was, I had the cover off at first.
Plus, having to hit F1 to continue every time.
Getting some nice Core 18 projects on the 750TI. These are for NVidia + Windows machines. They pay over 50k
Not sure how you can tell what Core projects you are getting. I am also running a 750TI and am getting these which seems low in the points department to me.
While the technical data is in the advanced control the story I related came from the web control
I agree with others, this arms race is really heating up. 
Add a second 970, double my production, get myself up to second place, and a week later I'm back down to fifth. 
What's that about pride and a fall? 
At least it's for a good cause and the team is doing exceptionally well. Kudos to all

Less than 20 hours away from Portugal@Folding and Position #89! Man, once we broke into the Top 100, we're climbing through the ranks, one Team after another falling in our wake.
I'm home with The Grunge™ so I saw on opportunity to shut everything down on my T7400 one more time and this time I blew away the Work directory along with the queue.db file. After rebooting and starting up my Folders, I believe everything appears to be in-synch Slot-wise as a result of yesterday's rearranging of cards. As the GTX 970 is a full-length card and the GTX 750 Ti is half-length, I swapped their positions so the 750 wasn't blocking half of the 970. I also moved my monitor over to the GTX 750 Ti so the GTX 970 is 100% dedicated to Folding.
Things look much better now. The 750 Ti is now somewhere between 50-60K PPD where I'd expect it to be, and the 970 is guesstimated right under 300K PPD:
(of course, now I have to wait a few days for everything to settle down into a rhythm, so this two-three day stretch may be a little light)

I was thinking about getting a GTX 750 Ti or another 960. It looks like the 750 TI uses way less power. I need to start looking along those lines now. Electric bill has jumped $25 a month so far.
Do you think I would be losing much by going the 750 Ti route?
