Linux folding worth it? Dual Radeon VII

Basically the title tells you everything :)

I am soon getting a second Radeon VII and am thinking about switching for Win10 to Linux for pure F@H.

Does anyone have experiences with this? How does the PPD react to that? I have heard about less driver overhead in linux and etc.

FOLDING MONTH 2021! GOGOGO and save on some heating costs 🙂

Nice.

imo linux does fold faster than windows.

not sure about radeon vii, i heard it is really good for folding. Ppd according to overclocknet is around 1.8 mil?

2080ti is around 2.6mil, is radeon vii cheap?

Hm are those Linux numbers? An win I am around 1,5mPPD

I managed to get a second one for 300 wich ist not bad considering the PPD

My 2080ti is around 3 million ppd, seems at least few percentage higher than windows.

 

damn 300 is great price.
