There's MUCH more, but I won't go into that here. One Hackintosh: Profile - iMac 18,3 5K 27" Retina Display, i7 7700K @ 4.2GHz with a MacVidCards' GTX-1070 8GB Card and an EVGA GTX-1050 Card... Again, there's MUCH more, but I won't go into that here. One i7 7700 @ 3.6GHz with Integrated HD-630 GPU. <<--- Crunches on Lunatics' 0.45 Beta 6 on the GPU ONLY. (Crunches SELDOM... Maybe 2-3 Hours a week.) I WAS crunching on all 4 GPUs using TBar's CUDA90 App. Unfortunately, I had to shut down the Mac Pro due to HIGH and EXORBITANT Electric Bills. Only the Hackintosh is regularly Crunching. The two Primary Mac Systems were Crunching 15 Hours a day starting at 18:00 Local Time. NOW, ONLY the Hackintosh runs that long, AND with the recent "Server Incident" the Hackintosh got moved to Collatz while things got re-settled here with the "Failed Download" Issues. I will be moving the Hackintosh back to SETI when the Collatz Units are finished. Collatz is now set to NNT. I have over 300 Units left to Crunch for Collatz, then the Hackintosh will be back here.
