      Hey Tom ! Congratulations on getting to that league of performance. :-)

      <wordy New Year's aside>

      I do like your signature : at present some of us live quite pleasantly on top of an incredible techno-stack that we ought not take for granted ( but we do ). I remember once watching a live NASA feed of a ISS astronaut spacewalk ie. I was eating dinner while above my head that took place and images were transmitted by some wonder called The Internet to my home computer. I pointed this out to one of my kids who replied 'Yeah, whatever ...' and I sighed ! My/our  generation can remember watching Neil do the first Moon walk on a grainy B&W TV so we know the technology gap quite well. Ten years after the last Apollo landing you could buy a hand held calculator - admittedly for a handsome price - with more computing power than the descent stage guidance/control computer. And, just to twist the knife, one of these ( a Hewlett Packard 29C IIRC ) could be programmed to simulate moon landing calculations as a mere demonstration ! So for this New Year I suggest we not forget those who are far less fortunate than us, past & present.

      Cheers, Mike.

        I agree whole heartedly.

          Thank you for the congratulations.  However when I examined the message that was "George" who had cracked that milestone.  Since he is running a 5950x with a couple of Rx 2000 series gpus and I own neither....

          I will accept congratulations for implementing a 2nd Rtx 3080 Ti to go with my 1st one...

          Prior to tonight's upgrade a Gtx 1080 was running (part of the time) as the 2nd GPU.

              Look at this, I finally made it to 1,000,000,000 credits!

              Now, if only the credits could be paid out even as little as $0.01 per credit, I'd still have $10,000,000.  ;^)

              WOO HOO!!! Congratulations on the milestone!!!

                Thanks for the reminder, Mike, particularly in this period of challenge and turmoil.  As spoken by the late great character actor Michael Conrad, "Let's be careful out there!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDQewSMB-E

                  It is also possible that I have exceeded that peak RAC I have managed on my 3950x box using an rtx 3080 ti and a gtx 1080.

                  3+ Million here it comes... If the scale up is linear this set up with two 3080 ti's could manage 4.8 Million? Only time will tell though.
