.@nvidia calls on PC gamers to download the Folding@home app & put spare clock cycles toward advancing scientific knowledge of #coronavirus. The program links computers into an international network that uses distributed processing power to chew through massive computing tasks... https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/fhb5e4/coronavirus_specific_gpu_projects_are_now/

@RenderToken to purchase up to 4.5 million $RNDR tokens on
@ProBit_Exchange!

Based on prevailing market conditions & compared to the computing power they represent, we believe the tokens are significantly undervalued on Probit.

Shout out to @OTOY in @PCMag!

"The last benchmark I ran was Otoy's OctaneBench 4, based on its OctaneRender 4 GPU rendering software. Again, Dell's RTX 8000 clinched the top spot. It's the one to beat for single GPU #rendering performance."

RNDR Launch and GTC Digital Recap
https://medium.com/render-token/rndr-launch-and-gtc-digital-recap-8ed5ca59f143

"OTOY's real-time pathtracing kernel Brigade has been completely built in the #RNDR SDK. The equivalent rendering power of what took 80 GPUs in 2015 to reach 3000 OctaneBench can now be accomplished with a single NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti card."https://medium.com/render-token/rndr-launch-and-gtc-digital-recap-8ed5ca59f143
