I also linked the A2000 which you might be able to find used. Any of the Turing cards don't have very many CUDA cores and are much less performant.

thoughts a gt730?

Good for Display Out but that's about it. For just Display Out a AMD WX3200 is, IMHO, the budget king. I've been running a FirePro AMD W4100 for years in my daily driver for Display Out with a RTX4070 for Folding. The W4100 can sit close to the Folding card and not impeded airflow too much.

 

And, unlike their consumer variants, the Radeon Pro Drivers suck much less and you get 10-bit LUTs to boot for Color-Critical work and display calibration.

 

If it's for a HTPC build the GT730 has no NVENC Support.

sort of a non sequitur
does anyone have recommendations for 1/2 height GFX card 

little late to the party, but also the 4060Ti from gigabyte: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N4060OC-8GL#kf

 

also, if you got enough airflow in your chassis you could consider the passively cooled Tesla P4. They do about 1M PPD each on 75watts.
i recently picked up 5 of these for my NAS so i can setup a folding VM in there.
Dont go for the t4 variant though, those are much more expensive but do the same PPD wise.

@RollinLower @Gorgon
is the p4 worth while as dual duty folding and media streaming server?
it looks like it should be good for it

It won't be as power efficient or as performant (1MPPD vs. ~4MPPD) as the 4060 @RollinLower listed (Nice find, BTW - but I believe it is a just a 4060 NOT a Ti) ) but it does support NVENC.

 

I've found if you clock limit the 4000-series cards to 2250MHz they sip power and are very quiet.

fair point
they are 4+x the cost,

require more power connectors 
and it is going in a few machines with pci2 and pci3

unless its utterly pointless going in machines with that low pci version

The 4060 (non ti) is bus powered (i.e. no PCIe PEG Power Required)

Correction: It apparently has an 8-pin PCIe PEG Power Connector which appears to be at the back of the card.

 

Here's a comparison of the RTX 4000 SFF and earlier SFF Cards:

I must have been looking at the wrong ones,

thank you one of the videos I have not looked at yet.
As it needs additional power I dont think this is one i can use in a number of the locations but it might work in a few if i can make it single slot with water cooling vs its current dual slot

this is a little out of the price range it looks like it might be the tesla p4 for the unpowered super slims and then something else in the others (total number in mix could be north of 19 card required total with "no" budget

Originally had thought it might happen on my birthday, but sometimes good things arrive early.  Next stop... 2.5B and !!!

Well.... I pulled that out of a deep dark hole at the last second!   Good luck to everyone on the next one.

yea you did! 

 

@danwat1234 you were so close to passing me. I finished 1WU for 146k 1 minute before midnight. If it wasn't for that and my Pi you def would have passed me. Great folding everyone and thanks for hosting  birthday bash @GOTSpectrum. It was nerdy fun!

[TVwazhere]

@Mxyzptlk @miker07 you guys are actual mosnters, nearly getting a plat badge in a week

 

Also, It's weird that I'm relieved that I barely missed the prize by 1 randomly drawn number, where as normally I'd be gasping at how close I was. 

 

But the next sprint? I'll be ready

So I won something on an event for someone else's Birthday, on my own Birthday.

Only me that find that amusing?
