best parts for deticated folding rig

[rjfaber91]

If your budget is significantly under $1000 dollars, go with an aftermarket GTX970 for folding, they have amazing performance and wattage per dollar, and can overclock like crazy.

 

Oh, I can attest to that. I fold on a 970, and it typically yields between 200k and 250k PPD.

You could literally fold with farts and glue with a  980 attached 

 

If you wanted to order some parts to compliment what you already have like you guys talked about earlier, almost anything will do as long as that GPU can chug away

wow! that's what I'm talking about!  That's a really good sweet spot power-wise also - from what I've seen they'll produce at or close to the best performance per watt production too!  

 

Great choice
