Sam,
Sorry to hear about your two back to back power outages. There are either too many Christmas light decorations in your neighbourhood or Eta has found a way to down your local power grid from his Swiss moutain retreat. Hope that you can get back up and running full tilt soonest...!

Sorry for this mishap SAM. Timing as usual is everything :D. You should be back on your throne by today :). By the way one HD7970 let me down yesterday and now is running on fumes. I am on travel at the moment so no way to correct that before tomorrow. By wednesday the battle for the "pie" will resume :rofl:
SAM is back on top. It is always better to have someone in front. It is more motivating.
Standing on top is a very lonely place, and too much pie is not good for health. :D
But I'm sure it was a good feeling to be on top for a moment.
You guys are doing a great job.:clap:

It will be very good for XS and hcc research to see both of you guys in the crunching game at full steam.
Keep up the Xtreme work...
Ok lets see if I can beat SAM.Quote:

Runs off to the back of the cave to check reserve levels. Uh Oh! :eek:
The pie was worth 3.6 Million points exactly one year ago (with trn on top). The top score was around 850'000 points.Quote:

Indeed jeanguy2 you are right, it is a pretty fat pie. In average we have a factor of 10 mainly thanks to GPU crunching.
A new generation of GPUs may come by January or February, so we can still have an inflating pie. All this will end in six months or so with a major event "the BIG DEFLATION".
All these are very cosmic events :)

But SAM, we all want to see you hit 1,000,000,000 WCG points by then end of the year!
No problem bluestang. SAM will be more fit and able to run faster for that target.Quote:

You are right. It is very cold up there, and at the moment we are crumbling under the snow and minus zero temps.Quote:

Do you and SAM have MVP posters and letters from the electric company?
No letters, just large bills :shakes:

Not 1, but 10.Quote:

I'm only on there because I have a 1900 x 1200 screen :rofl:
XS is good for 40% of the top 20 or 53% once you cross off the institutions..... Maybe more ???
Should we count nano as an Honorary member??? :D
OC,
Nano is an active contributor to our XS WCG forum. In my books, he deserves a lifetime honorary membership. I noticed that he's been getting bolder & more Xtreme lately.
Maybe he is ready to switch from the Broad...side to the Xtreme side of the Force..!!! :welcome::up:
I would agree with this 1000% :up:Quote:
