$50-$90 each? If you can't find any 9800GTs/8800GTs for that price, look for 9600GT or any 8800, those are terrific budget folders and should fall within your budget.
Best folding card for the money?

These are a great buy too (aren't they basically rebranded 8800GSs?), but the problem can be knowing whether you're getting the old version or the newer one... the newer one has far fewer SPs and ain't all that good for folding compared to its bigger brothers.

It should say how many sp's it has on any website if you are buying new, and if you are buying used I'm sure whoever you are buying from must know. It's pretty easy to find out how many sp's a card has before you buy it.

8800GSs 8800GTs 9600GSOs 9800GTs 9800GTX+s
I myself find that 9600GSOs and 8800GSs are great buys

OK, I did not think it did, but was not positive.

The DDR2 cards have diminished PPD. I could only get 3200PPD w/max o/c on a 384 pt WU. I second Blupupher with the Sparkle 9800GT being the best deal on efficient folding cards

I did see 1 card on newegg that said it was 512 mb and 96 SP a while back, but not sure if that was a typo or not. Some of the "good" 768 mb cards are now using DDR2 memory though, not sure what impact that has on Folding, but on gaming it hurts. I would get THIS 9800GT. $89.99 shipped. |
