camaro_dude15 Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 gotten back into the folding, Right now ive got a gtx 690, gtx 1050, and rtx 2060 all running 24/7, but ive got a pair of 7990's and an r9 390 collecting dust, is it worth pulling one or more of the nvidia cards to run one of these amd cards????

ir_cow Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I don't think AMD has been known to be good for folding. They run hot, draw a lot of power and produce low PPD. Honestly you can sell them and buy newer NVIDIA card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 heat and power aren't much of a concern, more so is it worth the time to try it? with the inconsistencies im seeing in work units it take probably a week to get a good feel for ppd. if I didn't know that folding was nicer on nvidia (historically) I would assume the r9 would smoke the 1050 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 well browsing the folding forums it seems the RX 5700 XT gets 1.2 Million PPD. R9 390 - 350K and 7990 - 30K PPD. So I guess the NAVI GPUs aren't bad for folding. I get like 1.8 Million with a RTX 2080 SUPER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 30k a day i think the 7990s will keep collecting dust, might be worth pulling the 1050 for the r9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Game Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 been thinking about upgrading from my 390. I bought it from a member here, and I'm pretty sure it hasn't been used for folding. regardless, it runs great. and I'd be willing to sell if if there's any interest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
