Heck yeah! Might wanna grab some more cards though, my server has a current gen video card in it for the first time as of today thanks to BubbaTheHut. I never upgraded the vid card when I built this as I dont really game anymore, so was running one of my old gtx 970s until today (didn't even put the second in due to needing 2 x8 slots for my raid cards lol). Points are starting to roll in

Is that 3 x 80mm fans? Did you have to buy a delorean to travel back to 2002 and pick them up?

Anyone know how much PCIE bandwidth effects PPD on new WUs and fast cards by any chance? Most of the data I can find is old and it's all over the place. KeeperOfTheButch and I are doing some tests currently but would be nice to have more data.

Well you don't want to run a PCIe 3.0/4.0 card on a PCIe 2.0 MB like I did with 1 of my 4090's
I posted it a couple of days ago, but RTX4070 on Thunderbolt 3/eGPU makes about 30% less than on PCIE 4.0 x16, so ~6-7M PPD instead of ~9-10M PPD. It's still pretty good, considering it can be connected to any PC with a TB 3/4 port. I was testing it on Dell Latitude 5340 / i5 1345u.
Id stay away from a 2.0 system. 3.0 x16 or greater for anything modern to not put a significant glass ceiling on things.
What would that bandwidth transfer to in PCIe? Wonder if the usb/tb4 protocol has additional overhead along with less bandwidth.

Guessing that's why I'm seeing a bit low PPD on my 4070 super since it's stuck at pcie3 8x until I can move the raid card that's in the other x16 slot. Still doing around 11m PPD on certain projects though and a bit over 7m on others, so not sure if that's normal (Keeperofthebutch is doing more on his but his is an msi gaming x slim and mine is an Asus dual so maybe card differences?).
In theory, TB3 and TB4 have 40Gbps max. TB4 has some additional functionality. In reality, it's more like 3.2-3.8GB/s max, so somewhere around PCIe 3.0 x4 or 4.0 x2 bandwidth.
Hwinfo64 shows 2.5GT/s. GPU-Z shows PCIe 3.0 x4 on the TB3 connection.
4070 Super gets about 1-2M PPD more than 4070, so your numbers are about as high as expected. During the last competition, I had 8-10M PPD on my 4070 overclocked a bit. The average that I see is closer to 8M PPD.

Good to know, thanks!
A little update. In some projects, I see 3.5-4M PPD on my RTX4070/TB3 connection. It's weird that I haven't seen it before, but I also wasn't running F@H on a TB connection for longer. I assume that the same projects also have lower PPD on a regular PCIe slot.

Thanks. I just flew down to Keeperofthebutch's house last night. He's got another surprise we're going to try to get up and running, but might be a few days if we can't get it working in his main rig. Motherboard doesn't recognize it when it's in one of the x16 slots (2060 works fine in that slot though)You guys are in groove in now lots and lots of points.

Got it figured out, more PPD coming online shortly!
Keeperofthebutch is getting the 2060 back in, then folding shall commence again!
