    Bit-tech check out the most efficient card for folding

    http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/gra...-for-folding/1

    And AMD still get slaughtered! (note GPU3 client being mostly used) glad I gave up on my 5850 as even my old GTX260 would have beaten it!
    The 560Ti seems to do well, 13K+ PPD an average power draw isn't something to sniff at!

    Re: Bit-tech check out the most efficient card for folding

    Still 'only' 7K PPD for my 5850 comnpared to a GTX460 (not even mentioning new client issues!)

    Are AMD still using 1 or 2 cores simply to GPU fold on? That's a big issue for me at least.

    Re: Bit-tech check out the most efficient card for folding

    That's why I've switched to BOINC a while back. I don't really understand why folding@home still use their seemingly broken platform.

    I recall reading that the HD5xxx and HD6xxx cards are faster than nvidia gpus under milkyway and other projects with amd support.
