Best cards for GPU folding

RBIEZE · 28-July-08, 02:19 PM

Heres a chart for anyone buying a vidcard specifically for folding.

Currently the 9600Gso is the best point producer, per dollar card.
(The 9600Gso is an updated 8800gs )

Chart of common cards included below

Im going to give a couple of these a try

Newegg.com - PALiT NE/96SOSXT379 GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB 192-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Holy thread revival! I vote for the dang 8800GT with 512 RAM. I have been slowly overclocking one of these suckers, and I am at 5249 PPD acording to FafMon2.3.2a. Load temps on the card are 57C full fah load. I have better cooling en route, so I can play with this sucker.

Just insane PPD for the money.

Your list is wrong, but your mistake is my gain and the gain of my teammates.

Sorry for the late reply Godling. I lost internet for a while. I just have an Accelero simular to this Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Accelero S2 VGA Cooler - VGA Cooling I use RivaTuner and these settings: Core 734MHz Shader 1862 MHz Memory clock 1003.

FahMon has it doing around 5.4k PPD. Temps nice and cool at 56C

OK, nucrack, you are just off by a few numbers on you Folding Team, should be 596... Almost 2 days of lost points for me, I have not even checked my stats...

We Fold with what we have. And we are still ahead of you Grunts!
