The 2070 will be in which category? It's listed as both.

I need a RAM upgrade for my brain.... :arrowhead

I believe it belongs in GPU-O, probably a bit overpowered for GPU-L.

If you guys have different suggestions, please let me know!

I believe the 2070 will have a similar PPD as the 1080 Ti.
I’m also guessing the 1660 Ti will be similar to the 1070 Ti.

It looks good to me!

Those look good to me as well.


What sort of PPD does the 1660 Ti put out?

Looks to be around the 1070/980Ti range so something like 600k-750k with an OC I would guess.

I was comparing the 1070 Ti and 1660 Ti using these images but I don't know what the PPD would be.

2080 Ti, Titan V and Titan RTX seem to be a bit too big for the time being.


Last Ruling, Enacted Fall 2018:

Spoiler

May I ask what you mean by the components being "a bit too big"?

Historically, we have typically omitted the "best of the best" cards from the TC, until a newer generation of GPUs with equivalent performance are released.

As of right now, according to the PPD database, the Titan V and 2080 Ti have about 2.2-2.4 million PPD. As compared to the 2080 and Titan X(P)'s which are closer to 1.2-1.5 million PPD.
The barrier to entry for GPU-O is already fairly expensive, and this limit will keep things more balanced until prices come down.

I have a feeling the question wasn't under the assumption of knowing which forum it was posted in.

Thanks for the answer, it does make sense. However think even the most expensive should be included. This is a forum with many an enthusiast after all

This is the Folding Team Competition forum. We can't even get enough of the 2080s to join. Having just 1 single Ti or Titan version of a card greatly imbalances the entire category and there would be even fewer members wanting to dedicate that card to at least 20/7 folding. One of those extreme cards would have such a lead the only way for the 'TEAM' to win would be to have that card and the rest wouldn't be needed.

Agreed. Also, one of the interesting aspects of the TC has been optimizing hardware that is a bit older to maximize PPD output, despite it being a couple generations old. Granted, if we had more interest, we may consider using bigger cards.

That being said @go4life, if you have hardware you're willing to fold with, we can get you assigned to the TC
