Folding Forum

OK well that pretty impressive, not sure I am in the market for one of these yet but well done those who have them.

OK I am impatient and intrigued, is anyone using or trying to use any of the newly released NVidia GPUs?
Stories please.

$400 - RTX 4060Ti

If you see one for $400, The 4070 gets double the points of a 4060Ti

I suspect and these dollar amounts are USD that RTX 4070s could be close to this if you wait a bit, right now the value will be in the 3000 series if you need to have something immediately.

What else you are using it for? Note that NV have released a new series this week the RTX 5000 series, this should mean the previous 4000 drop in price a bit soon but the now 2 generations 'out of date' 3000 series should drop considerably. I am using a RTX 3070 on windows currently generating 4-5 M...

Welcome back, sorry to read about your bad news.

Agree - great discussion and plenty of data packed for me to unravel. Linux Manjaro B550 AsRock motherboard, Ryzen 5950X with RTX 4070 Super and 4070 producing a combined 18-20,000 ppd. Checking the plain jane NVidia X-Server Settings shows each card running PCIe Gen4 at 98% GPU utilization and 2% ...

Thanks for sharing though, as it is always interesting to learn more about the lives of fellow Folders;
that goes for Gordon Smitheman, 7im (Timothy Braun) and PS3EdOlkkola (Edward Olkkola).

Totally agree, I hadn't read the link when I commented before.

Yesterday I had issues with a normally reliable system that a reboot didn't fix but a update and reboot did, I wonder which thing you changed was the solution.

Am very sorry to read this news.

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping that it could run @ 90 degrees like AM5. I'll get an 240 AIO. Oh I'm sure it can run hot and function, just would you want it to? This will depended on what else is sharing the case, in my situation a hot CPU plus a hot GPU heated each other even more. I know ...

Do Ryzen 5000 have the same issue [high temps when folding] as the AM5. I'm using an AMD provided CPU cooler. :?: I use a Ryzen 3700 8core/16 thread with a stock cooler and was not happy with the temps when I was folding with it. I have not cpu folded with it for a while as it also has a 'hot' GPU ...

Thanks, always good to get real life experience.

I am considering getting an RTX 4070ti for my folding rig to replace a RTX 2080ti and am wondering about peoples experience with this. When the 4090 and 4080 came out there were concerns about the latest power connector system and some very negative stories but this seems to be no longer in the news...

Although that site useful enough for a general comparison/guide there are so many variables in GPU setup and response of particular GPUs to specific projects that people should not expect X card to do X ppd consistently as per any of these charts.

In a positive comment for this much maligned WU my geriatric GTX 980ti which folded full time for many years and now does a couple of days a week as it now lives in a young teen's bedroom computer likes these just fine, averaging 1.3 Mppd when its general range is 1-1.5 Mppd.
