PortalYeah I am going to try to get some 460s or 470s for my new machineCadBane wrote:I was also thinking of getting a few 430s for a small gpu farm before the 6800 and 6811s came out. the 6800s still dont complete fast enough on them to make it worth it so now im having to rethink that idea. Also plan to get 1 or 2 580s in March.

The 460s take a hit from both the 6800 and 6811s, but the 470s do not. At least not as much. I do like the 6800s over the 6811s because I can complete them faster. But I may be RMAing my 470 for crashing after thanksgiving.

I think I am gonna go with the 470s and I love the 6811s they have no cpu usage so it helps my bigadv!CadBane wrote:The 460s take a hit from both the 6800 and 6811s, but the 470s do not.

Better watch yourself Hocky, I got my fist GTX 580 and these things are incredible for folding. Stock clocks = 16,800 PPD on 6800. These cards also run nice and cool while folding.

Oh and these things OC like crazy. I have 900 core working right now, but the card has more in it. With a bit more voltage I think I can get around 950 core 1900 shader.

I just got a 570 SC with a stock voltage of 1.000v and its currently running 875 core at 1.050v. If I upped the voltage to 1.075v I could probably get 900 core stable as it was just slightly unstable with 1.050v.
