Would a GT 210 be worth it as a dedicated folding card?

[MoonlightSylv]

I got one from a bunch of computer parts thing on CL for $40 (the parts together are worth like $400) and I was wondering if I should put it in my rig and use it as a dedicated F@H card, also is that possible?

Its pretty useless TBH wont get like any points

no probably not

It's got 16 CUDA cores.

 

In comparison, a GTX 1060 6GB has 1280

 

So the GT 210 will be more than 80 times slower because it's also got slower clocks.

But they also consume little to no power.

Sure. They're still not worth using as a Folding card.

If we say 80 of them are = to a 1060 and they each use 35 watts the it's 2800 w vs the 1060s=120 w

you probably wouldnt be able to finish a wu before it expires at that speed

It wouldn't surprise me at all if this

card isn't supported anymore.

Chances are you couldn't get any

work regardless.  

 

[Ithanul]

^ Agree.

 

Those cards are no longer supported by F@H.

Dont even try it, even my old gts 450 wasnt worth it. It took 9 days to complete a small WU if i remember right

On of my systems has a GeForce GT420 which has 48 cuda cores in it. I believe when I tested it, I got a PPD of like 1.5k. I don't think a 210 will be worth it at all.

dont forget the 210 has cuda 1.1 while 1060 has 5.0+
