Current best cards for F@H
So... based on current numbers the 980 is the boss, follow by AMD r9 290x then the 970. In three to six months, who knows.
Overall for the past while NVidia has been the better cards in regards to power efficiency and thermals.
Do not water cool. Waste - you would need so much rad space and fans, would be ridiculous on say a triple GPU system.Lot of water cooling is only rated to 50C continuous, so a triple GPU loop folding would easily pass that. I know from experience... and leaks...
Folding works with or without SLI/Crossfire - so if this a dedicated folding box, don't bother. Using it for other things, then yes, enable it. You could have say two 980's in SLI and a third 970 even. 980's for folding/gamin and the 970 just for folding.
Typically more VRAM won't make a huge difference in folding. OC'ing also typically leads to more instability. If buying dedicated cards for folding, don't buy fancy OC'ed or Classified or some other gimick. Just save the cash and get a stock card.
