trying to get going again....had a family death that took me out for a bit....now a/c out in zone the pc is in....hope to be back up and running today.
I almost turned off my main folding rig the other day.
For whatever reason the folding app was using 100% of the CPU... which is strange as I have CPU folding turned off... only do GPU folding.
Rebooted a few times, reinstalled and it was still happening.
Then yesterday everything started working correctly again.
Welcome back cwarren!

I have thought about turning mine back, because of the increase cost in the power bill.
YES! Welcome back to folding cwarren78!

I'd look but divorce would suck

Heck she might like it, if it is more efficient! Maybe they draw less power.I'd look but divorce would suck
I read a good review that said that since the first RTX cards would be using the first pass at the Turning GPU, if power is a concern, wait for the 2nd phase of RTX cards that should feature a smaller transistor size (10 or 7 nm) with better thermal performance and lower power requirement. For example, the TU102 GPU in the RTX 2080 Ti measures 31mm x 25mm, so NVIDIA isn't getting too many of those from the standard silicon wafer. Also, I see mention that the RTX 2080 Ti boards will be 2.5 slot coolers, so one board will use up three PCI-e slots.
Can's say about the 2080, but I just read the 2070 at max uses 175 watts where the 1070 uses 150. No power savings there at all. I don't know but I'd expect the 2080/1080 comparison to be similar.
Dang Spellcheck! Of course, it's the Turing GPU, not "Turning" GPU... Yeesh...
Until actual boards arrive and are Folding, their thermal and power budgets versus the previous family of chips is speculation. That's never stopped anyone here before, has it?

Correct, the specs hadn't been fully released when I made the post and was really only joking with EatMyVolts, since I know he and his is very power conservative.
Honestly, I knew every generation got a little more efficient, but I didn't think this gen would be. I would have guessed about the same as the 10 series, but I see they are slightly higher.
