Hey guys,
I just traded in my gtx 260 for a gtx285 with the evga step up program. I want to get another card to fold on in the computer in my sig. I was thinking a gtx 250. Will this work with the 285?

Yeah the GTS 250 should be fine.

Thanks waverider. How does your gtx285 do folding? I havent fired mine up yet.

In my experience the weaker card(less SP's) will lose nearly half its PPD potential.

My card gets about 9k PPD average w/ the 1960 point WU (8600 - 9400).

Thats no good. So folders who use multiple gpus are generally using the same card to eliminate this problem? Maybe a better option would be to put a gtx250 in my other computer thats only running SMP now and gpu fold on that.

Or you could put the gts 250 in your computer and get put more cards in your other comp
. If you have the extra cash to burn that is.

That should be a good addition to your PPDs. Good luck.
