curious.. which is better for F@H??

GeForce. Nothing beats the 1070 or 1080 in most things anyway. My 1060 3GB gets about 375kppd, for about $200.
 
We'd certainly be proud to have you on our TeAm! If you need some help just let us know. 🙂

BTW, our Folding TeAm's number is #198 and we are known as Team AnandTech. 😉
 
Stefan r5r... currently my strix oc 1060 looks to be pushing almost 450k ppd ... but i also have it OC'd, at 2114 core and 1957.5( 7830 ) ram 🙂

already am smoke 🙂

was just curious as to which is better.. the RX 4xx.. or the gtx 10x0 cards.. as i am looking to replace my GTX 560s i currently have folding with something better on Boxing day... IF i can find a good deal....
 
I daresay, my R9 270X 2GB cards, my 7950 3GB cards, and my RX 460 4GB Nitro w/unlocked shaders, are all around 100K PPD, with the RX 460 being lower by a little bit, and the 7950 cards being a little higher.

I think a GTX 1060 or higher would smoke those cards.

Hehe, nice clock there. Strix... noted. 🙂

PPD varies a lot with work unit type of course. Markfw took samples over various WU types and assembled a big chart over in the "GPU PPD in Folding at Home" thread. Though there are only three GTX 1060 samples in there; not sure at which clock. Further up in the thread are four samples from crashtech at 1.81 GHz.
 
Yes, for folding, don't even consider AMD cards. $/ppd the 1070 was king, but the 1060 looks interesting. I just got 2 1070's like new for $367 each
 
StefanR5R i might even be able to push hit higher.... right now.. while folding.. the core temp is 50C with the fan running @ 70%

Mark... i wonder how big polaris, Vega is it ?? will change that though ...

hmmm i wonder if there will be any decent sales on monday for the 1060 or the 1050 cards .... 1070's are out of my price range... so....
 
too bad 980s are $200 up here in canada.. they are 400 + on a certain auction site.. and not much less via local ads .... almost better off to get a new card....
