Maybe a Pair of EVGA GTX 1080 in your Future, make sure you check around I found then cheaper on B&H and Free Shipping.
Unfortunately that is definitely out of the budget. At most I would be adding a 1070...

Seems like the 1070 is the best bang for your buck right now. I only got a 1080 for gaming. Folding is a sweet bonus though.

Yes, sign up and fold. Don't forget to stop by the forums and trash talk the other teams...

There seems to be a correlation between the occurrence of a folding contest and the amount of time I spend on newegg...
Likewise! 
I am searching myself. Still wanting to try out a 1060 3GB card .........

they are just about as good as the 1070 for performance per dollar spent.

Even the 3gb cards? I thought that was only true about the 6gb 1060's. Either way, less power consumption than my 970's. I was thinking the "short bus" single fans, not sure how noisey the fan would be though.

the 6GB are worse because of the price. you pay $50 more, 25% more, for a handful more cuda cores and more ram. you only loose about 10% in F@H performance so its performance per dollar is higher.

So which one is the better sweet spot for Folding? In terms of overall performance per dollar? Does 1080p gaming or 1440p gaming change anything for those who aren't folding only focused?

As for the resolution question @1080p the gtx 1070 can play everything max settings. @1440p the gtx 1070 may struggle a bit to max everthing on some AAA titles. The gtx 1080 just about do 4k but you really need a titian xp for that.

the 980ti folds just slightly better than a 1070 on avg, about 75-100K under the 1080
So for the price of a 1080 a guy can get 2 980ti on b stock and be ahead in folding .Nut as for the power bill the 1070s mite be the way to go . My EVGA bucks are calling me to order something . And no better time then the time TZC .
bcavnaugh they make 980ti HYBRIDs to so was wondering
You can get a new one for $340 EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti P/N: 06G-P4-3998-K1 This is on EVGA's Website
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti CLASSIFIED GAMING REF ACX 2.0+ $390
Ohh man 340 for a second 980 ti.....it's like half what I paid a year ago.....the office needs to come off my bonus checks quick. Edit: 330 for a matching sc+ 276 after cashing in my stash of bucks......

I have signed up. I do not have the main PC running in this event, at this time. I may turn it on depending on where I am an how cold it is. If I do turn it on, I would look around the 1.5m ppd range, rather than 600k.

Still haven't signed up, figuring out an average but my numbers are off since I'm still messing around with the set up. Going to swap cases soon too. I still have time though, I'll be the last in 🤘

Great news! The idea of adding the GPU prize pool was such a great idea. This will add a lot to the fun during the prize distributions.. and hopefully some significant points for team EVGA later on!

so, only 1070's?
Certainly can be changed if people would prefer other cards, however, the 1070 is currently one of the best PPD/$ cards.

We just want to use the money donated by our Very Generous team members the most efficient way.
But no worries, we always set a folding goal(s) for the Contest (could be 4.5 Billion points for November) and when we are able to reach that goal I will upgrade one GTX1070 to an EVGA GTX1080 card.

In the past they have had the stance of not supporting community organized events for folding - understandably so given how much they already do to support the folding team. Last year was the first year that they donated and it was incredibly awesome of them to do so...
