How am I supposed to bing bing wahoo in 60 fps when the processing power is reduced?
You can turn it on and off apparently
This is a fucking scam Holy shit if you fall for this you have the IQ of a fucking leech
It's actually a bitcoin miner
seti@home is better
why would waste even 33 gpu cycles on a virus that was created in a lab, the global spread of which was facilitated by zion don himself
Why would I want to stop the happening?
can't they use the so many existing supercomputers for this ?
>60 fps
Ok boomer
Will the aliens come and save us?
So basically a miner that you install voluntarily?
Are they going to pay me?
If not I'll just use them to mine crypto instead.
I'm playing kingdom come deliverance right now. Whem I'm lucky my computer manages 80 fps.
I have two 144 fps monitors, though.
It was shut down.
*Hz
It folds proteins and shit.
zoomers shouldn't be allowed on the fucking internet
>Folding@home
99% of your hardware will be used to normalize AIDS and faggotry
Supercomputers account for very little computing power versus combined consoomer hardware.
ALSO, very hard to argue this is really a mining scam when folding@home being immensely popular around during PS3's Cell chip days. Jensen woukdn't be fucking around with obvious farm bots when he can get huge kudos fof his latest INT8 Fermi fire machine.
I got room for a second gfx card if Nvidia wants to donate...
Yeah, no, they are going to use it against the HI Virus as well and I don't want that.
Nvidia could literally go into their warehouses and pull out all their unsold gpu's and do the exact same thing. Will they sacrifice their own profit to do so?
So could AMD
Would probably bankrupt them
Too bad I’m hearing this would use my computer to cure AIDS too, faggots deserve to die
Wow, I can't wait to mine Jewish crypto.
Is this some ploy to decrease gpu lifespan to increase sales?
they're only doing it to spy homeboy
Is there an application to protect Coronachan?
They mock us and called us manchildren. And now that they are dying, they ask me to give them my pc?
No, let them burn while I play Tetris at 1000+ fps in my tp bunker.
I have an RTX 2070 and won't be doing this
Not because I can't, but because I want the virus to spread
They already have Microsoft and Discord for that.
no.
get the shutdown universities to do it.
You still are manchildren. Fuck off we don’t need your cycles.
Give me one of those RTX 2080 ti cards and I'll let it churn for solution 24/7.
Same GPU here and I want it to spread, it’s a nice card.
Not politics
>Jack up prices of GPUs 100%
>Come on incels, donate your processing power!
No.
Give me a 600$ gift card and I'll do it.
This guy gets it, lul.
Yeah, but how will you receive the satisfaction of Doing Something?
Neoliberalism means individualizing everything and applying "personal responsibility" to literally every problem.
>Gamers rise up!
>No not like that
gonna dab on you with my hw modded gtx1080
Implying I want to stop corona, she's doing such a good job so far
>fight covid
why?
Sounded like a cool idea until someone mentioned it can be used to cure HIV
No thanks
Based!
I'm pro china plague so no.
>Gamers do all the work
>Nvidea gets all the credit
no thanks
>only 60 fps
You can watch your slideshow another time, sweaty. There's a world emergency and you've been drafted.
>mine crypto for us gweilo
...
>60fps
>when eye can see only 24fps
Nice of you to spend extra money in this jew scheme.
All more FPS does is allow you to have extra input time.
>when eye can see only 24fps
1,000 is the number you're looking for.
What team # is Yas Forums?
came here to say this
have fun making some middle management at nvidia filthy rich with digital gold mining
based bratwurst
Wouldn't it be the CPU doing all the work?
BASED.
>2020
>not running a minimum of 144fps on a capable monitor
>tfw running a 6 year old computer
>yet it still runs everything in 70-90fps
why should I replace my computer that works perfectly fine? I need to coomsoom more?
>virus kills old people
>literally cleansing the world of boomers
>hopefully also infects a bunch of politicians
Hell no, it needs to spread faster. I wonder though if they'd send me a new gpu if I sent them a letter saying I want to help but can't.
It's not a bitcoin miner, you retard. FAH has been around longer than buttcoin.
Sigh. How often do I have to do this.
Here, read nigga.
if you play "competitive" multiplayer games and want to flex your e-peen by being better at pushing buttons then yes. If not, no.
>they're losing money in stocks
>came up with this idea to make up for it
lmao fuck off
No
>implying nvidia isnt going to use the corona virus as an excluse to claim manufacture problems for the 3000 series dies, thus the rtx3080ti costs $1999..
Sorry, but i'm more of a Radeon™ Rebel™.
Chad gamers save the world.
How do I know this shit isn’t spyware?
Well, I do play some competitive multiplayer games...
but the irony is a chip from 2014 is still better than most garbage out there
