Number crunching :
PPS-Sieve, PPS-MEGA, GFN-15, SGS, and AP27 are shutting down

Accelerating the removal of GFN16 from T5K would be one obvious consequence.
It depends on when a new PPSE range or order will begin. GFN-16 will be out of T5K in about four months.
We should start thinking about Tour de Prime. If PPSE and GFN-16 are out of T5K then TdP will be a mega search without PPS-Mega...
If the "new PPSE" starts in January, it could be a TdP project. This way, GFN-16 may still be in T5K at the beginning of February. But "new PPSE" + GFN-17 is also a good choice and Mega only not that bad for TdP.
Whatever the choice, this thread and TdP projects are correlated.
Indeed there will be much fewer prime badges for 2024 prime finds without the easy primes.
Looks like GFN-17 for my gpu's.

As the years go by, goals are achieved, priorities change, and some projects get smaller relative to the currently available processing power while others get larger. What made sense for PrimeGrid 5, 10, or 15 years ago may not still make sense today.
What are PG's changing (updated) priorities? Where will be PG's emphasis? 5 projects are shutting down, what is being developed and/or planned to be developed? What is PG's plan for 5 years into the future?
Our priority is to do work that we consider meaningful. The projects that are being shut down should have been shut down years ago. We continued running them for the wrong reasons: because people liked, and were used to, running the projects, rather than running them because they fulfilled some purpose. It was a case of the tail wagging the dog. The projects were over but nobody (including myself) wanted to shut them down.
Will there be other projects? Probably, but the only one we're considering right now is a larger SGS project.
I agree. It would be easy to lose sight of the main objective. Running all this hardware comes at a huge cost for most of us these days. Making that crunching worthwhile is more meaningful that credits or badges imo.
Regarding SGS though, if there was a focus to smash the last remaining work out, I'm sure people here would dedicate the horsepower to get it done. I'd happily participate if the finish line is close enough.
With GPU projects (like Milkyway) and sub projects like PG here get finished, I don't mind because it's one less thing to divide my gpu crunching to. :)
GFN-17 MEGA would be my next focus.

Switch the GPU to GFN 16 or 17 Mega. Mega's where it's at ;)
Credit output will drop off though with sieving ending.

4070 Ti benchmarks
(Message 164846)
Posted 40 days ago by Chooka
Just FYI, out of the box, my 4070ti does PPS (Sieve) 225W & GPU temp 76 degrees C.
4070ti - 900mV @ 2600Mhz & 11250Mhz on the memory. - 126W & GPU temp 60 degrees C.
35sec slower / wu though.
Might have to tweak it.

I see that Intel A770~7900XT. AMD cards do poorly in this project.
Yes. NGREEDIA ftw on Primegrid.

Chooka, glad your PSU safely shut your system down. :(
My 4090 was completing tasks in less than 90 seconds at 100% power, 9% slower when limited to 75% power via MSI Afterburner. (Win10, AMD 7950X cpu)
In comparison, my 2080Ti was taking about 9.5 minutes. (Win10, AMD 5900X cpu)
It actually didn't shut down my pc. My pc was running though it had rebooted. When I turned my monitor on there was output for a couple of seconds then nothing. That was when i noticed the light on the motherboard.
This is actually the second time this has happened. The last time was with an R9 280X.
It's quite shocking that this was just a stock 4070ti running AP27.
I'm not even game to check the cables on my other pc with the 3070ti which draws even more power. I probably should check them but I'm back to CPU crunching only for the time being as electricity prices are killing me. :(

Burn Burn chooka ))) 😂
The scary thing is, I wasn't running the CPU so there was no extra heat from that AND I run my GPU's stock out of the box.
If this can happen to me, it could happen to any of YOU.
Safety message to fellow BOINC'rs :D

I can't believe how many 4090's you have crashtech!! That's insane!!
Just Wow.

Then with power spikes will should be up to ~200W what should be enough from 1xPCI 8Pin.
No spikes. Max 170W. Very consistent.
I can't remember what it was pulling before I undervolted. I thought it was around 300W but I suspect that might have been a bit higher due to the failing wiring.
I also applied an undervolt to my 3070ti which is now using 227W without much fluctuation.
Would you believe, it now runs faster (was around 320sec now 310sec) That could be down to the memory clock boost that I applied.
3070ti - 900mV @ 1900Mhz & 10250Mhz on the memory.
4070ti - 900mV @ 2600Mhz & 11250Mhz on the memory.
Temps and power draw much better.
