That's what I thought. Aside from benchmarking tools it's doa.

I've been out of the loop on hardware since I quit folding. I've run multiple multi GPU rigs when i was into that. Last rig I had set up for folding was 3x gtx 970. Beam non-issue aside that setup crushed everything at x1080. Only went with the 980Ti for 5760x1080 surround.

2XXX and 1XXX cards are roughly the same price for whatever reason. Just get a 2XXX card if you can swing it. Another viable option would be a used 980 or 980ti. They're still very capable cards. Just don't get any 970's due to the VRAM being lower than actually supposedly built into the card.

Good choices pending on price range

Used 980 variant for cheap on FB or eBay
Used 1060 from somewhere
New 2060/70/80 if you wanna swing it.

980 is comparable to a 1060. 1070/80 and 2070/80 are overhauled beats comparable to the titan classes in todays age.

Fwiw I went from a 980 to a 2080 and it was a giant jump in FPS and stability.

Blue Bell is the best. Original factory is less than an hour from Houston.
