Do they still support that program?

That they do! The monthly tiers are:

5 EVGA Bucks for 150k
5 EVGA Bucks for 350k

However, since this is now the last month of folding year 4, the reward tiers are bound to be shaken up a little bit by management.

i7-870 @ 3.4 / P55 Classified 200 / 16GB DDR3-1600 G.SKILL Ripjaws X

Two-Way Zotac GTX 580 SLI @ 825/1650/2004 / Silverstone Strider Plus 1000W

CM Hyper 612 / CM Storm Stryker

CM Storm Trigger / CM Sentinel Advanced

EVGA shook up the requirements last year because it was getting easier to hit the marks. Now that was also after not changing up the requirements for the 2 years previous. Maybe it won't change and they will give us a year reprieve, but maybe they won't. We shall just have to wait and see.

Personally I think an increase in the requirment will bring more overall participation, and will in turn keep [H] at bay.

I couldn't find any documentation on the site so I had to ask. I recently just got back into folding. I've been on the move the past year but now I can finally setup shop and fold away! EVGA FTW!!!

So they still have some time to announce Year 5 before the current year is over at the end of this month.

yea evga started the promotion about a month and a half late, so each year when March comes, a new year starts.

I'm still curious what the new requrements will be

if last year was 100K and 250K, this year was 150K and 350K, I'm guessing year 5 will be 200K and 450K

they just increase each one by 50K and 100K each year

Gaming/Folding Rig 1: Intel Core i5 2500k @ 3.3Ghz -- MSI P67S-C43 B3 -- 8GB Samsung DDR3 1066
64GB/256GB Crucial M4 + 1TB Samsung - 2.56GB GTX 570 - Antec 750w - Antec 300 - 21.5" Asus VH222H-P
Folding Rig 2: Intel Core i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz -- Asus P8Z68V-LX -- 4GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600
250GB Seagate Barracuda -- EVGA GTX 480 -- Corsair TX 750w -- Antec 300 -- 23" Samsung P2370HD
Folding Rig 3: Intel C2D E5300 @ 2.8Ghz - DFI Bloodiron P35 - 4GB Samsung DDR2 667 - 768MB GTX 460

15K a day is not hard to do, a Core 2 Quad CPU or higher, and at least a mid range 400/500 series can pass that easily

That sounds about right for a Quad. When I began Folding back in Aug 2010 all I had was a Core 2 Duo and my average daily was ~ 8K for SMP (didn't have a Fermi GPU yet). So, I'd expect you could hit double that number with the extra (2) CPU's in the Quad.

I folded some bigadv in 2009 with an i7 920 and 32K was about the PPD I was getting then as far as I could recall. * Something better than yours *

You misread what I said, I said a Core 2 Quad cpu and a mid range 400/500 card series card together can do around 15K
