I am curious. Anyone folding with a GTX 960 and what the PPD is on that card?

Somewhere around 165k depending on WU @ 1475

Thanks Bill.

Kram, I just ordered a GTX970 from the B-stock section.
Their around 100$ cheaper than new ones. Only a year warranty, but most things that have gone bad is right after I buy them or they are DOA.
They fold real well and they game real well. Would use less power than the 670.
Sell the 670 and the other cards and go for it. Set it up and forget about it.

I just looked. You must have got the last one, it's out of stock now.

The GTX 670 is on another wu and above 90k PPD on it.
 

This is the card I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127685
 
I'm running it at it's stock clocked speeds, but this is what Afterburner shows it running at while folding on the current wu.
 

 
Although I have not seen it boost that high on other wu's. The current wu seems to be giving the card a good workout.
 

 
TDP went up with this wu too. Normally it's around 72%
 

well just got back in to folding, my computer is barely 2 months old is why, my 980 ti's are getting the job done :)

804843 points a day :)  1450 mhz 980 ti's

Ugh wont let me edit in photos,,

I think that worked Bill. I'm not sure though. I added the flag, paused my client, closed the client, opened it back up and it stayed paused. Doesn't it normally start folding even though you had it on pause, then closed and open it back up?

Don't think a GTX 460 SC is going to make the cut lol. Although I've been logging into this system via remote desktop (card is in my file server) since I can't get HFM.NET or the Fah client to connect to it. Also found out Fahmon doesn't support v7 clients either.
 
So, it looks like the card to get would be a used GTX 670, cheap, not too power hungry and should do more then 55k PPD for someone wanting to hit the EVGA Folding Bucks mark, but you would have to run that card pretty much 24/7 until you hit the mark. Since I have a file server running 24/7 I figure why not toss a card in it. I don't want a card that's going to eat a ton of electricity or cost a lot to purchase and seems the GTX 670 would be that card?
 

Wow, I'm surprised the 460 gets that much!!!  If the fans on mine hadn't died, I'd pull it out & start folding on it as well.
 
One of the high-end 660 (non-Ti variety) folding 24/7 should hit the mark, & considering I'm staring at 101Kppd from a single 660Ti (WU 9412), I would say 660Ti = sweetspot for 600 series, nearly identical ppd to 670, slightly lower power usage, & should easily hit 1.5m without 24/7 folding for lower monthly electricity cost vs. the non-Ti variety.

 
But, the real value is probably the GTX 950, starting at $150 &  F @ H benchmarks say up to 46% faster (implicit) than the GTX 760 in Folding @ Home.  Unfortunately, I don't have the $$$ to get one for testing & when I do, I'll just save up a bit more $$$ to get a GTX970   Even though theoretically, two 950's outperform one 970 in folding for the same or less initial cost.  I've never gone in for SLI gaming & that's my primary reason for an add-in video card.
 
EDIT: in case anyone's wondering... my card settings:

$160 for a 960  I haven't seen any 960 that low, even after sales & rebates. 
 
[crosses fingers]There's a 50/50 chance I'll be picking up a GTX 970 ACX2.0 FTW this Friday, so I can finally do some quality gaming at native 2560x1600 resolution.... and get a few more points for folding!!!

Newegg does a lot of great 24hr sales like that, unfortunately, I almost never have the $$$ to take advantage when I see one I want or need 

Newegg dropped the price on this card again.

Nice hope you get it!

Wow you spent a lot of money with eBay to get that many eBay bucks.

kram36
Dang it! I knew this would happen. Look whats coming in the mail to me.
 

 
Well I hope it's coming, won it on an eBay auction at a good price. Hope the seller doesn't back out on me.

with minor overclocks looking at about 280-300 in my exp for the exact same sku. W.O getting into AMD vs nvidia rants, things are much better since i went green way in regards to pretty much everything from performance to heat to software.......AND GEFORCE EXPERIENCE SUCKS DONT INSTALL IT though :)

Yay, UPS surprised me & delivered before Noon!!! Will be folding on the 970 FTW (assuming nothing wrong with it) by this evening😆
