Depends on the CPU. I am running on an old c2d @2.7ish so not a lot of power to begin with and only did 1-3kPPD. Since folding scales back as cpu usage increases i think there were a lot of wasted cycles. i would expect to see maybe 1-2k ppd reduction but probably less if its a newer CPU. should be the same to any other nvidia GPU.

cpu is athlon ii x4 at 3.3 ghz. if the 440 would make 4k and suck about one, id say its worth it. thanks for the help, ill rep all of you.
