I was helping my dad with moving some things from his warehouse over to another, and found a GTX 750 TI over there. (they just place alot of junk there, where everyone is welcome to take from it.)


What should i do with it? Any suggestions? Just for fun ofc.

I have an old pc laying around with a GT 720 and i7, should i put in the 750 TI?

Yeah, replace your Gt 720 and use that PC for Boinc. We are always in need for help.

Fold on it, maxwell is good for points.

Is it good? I thought it was the other way round, that is why i have never folded on my 970

On the very early stages, it was bad. But then they fixed it. It's now very much worth it.

 

Even then, there are things other than Folding out there. Shame on you for not helping earlier.

From what I know, scientists can use your PC's power to fold proteins(it helps to invent medicine and it takes a lot of computing power).

Again, that can be totally wrong, that's just what I understood from things I read.

Otherwise you can gift it to a friend, use in a LAN rig or whatever

Gimme ^^ Or just put it in your system if you do GPU accelerated work, nvidia cards are good at this. Or build a streambox. Or living room PC, aka streambox! Or sell it, or destroy it or make a tiny casual gaming PC or upgrade someone's else in your family PC.. Lucky man..

I need S340. But more Define S'ish
