how to help with Carona
-
If you have a gaming-ready PC, you can lend your graphical power to fighting the COVID-19 outbreak. That's not a thing I ever thought I'd write, but it turns out 2020 is occasionally weird in good ways too.
Nvidia is putting out a call to PC gamers everywhere to download the Folding@home application and start putting their spare clock cycles toward advancing humanity's scientific knowledge of coronavirus. The program links computers into an international network that uses distributed processing power to chew through massive computing tasks - something that gaming-grade GPUs are quite good at, as it turns out. You can still turn the application off and reclaim your GPU's full power for playing games whenever you want.

To add to that, if anyone feels like folding a LOT, not just for corona virus (the project IDs are 117xx) then you may consider signing up with EVGA https://www.evga.com/folding/guides.asp and follow the guide to get the folding points. You can get 5-10 EVGA bucks per month (you need more than 10/30 million points though) but depending on your graphics card and how many hours you fold per day you may or may not be able to achieve that monthly mark.
You can think of EVGA bucks as a bonus for contributing to the society.
