Well it is not really supported yet and does not have a client that takes advantage of it. But messed around with the 7.x beta today before going to work and got her started on Folding. I hope Stanford comes out with a Folding@Home client soon for it. If it does well then may buy another 680 or look for a GTX690.

rediculously high. they have more cores than two 580's.The cores aren't as strong though. Think of it kind of like Bulldozer modules except not as crappy.

Any who pays that much is a sucker.

Any who pays that much is a sucker.The people who buy those probably have enough money to not care. They just want the best of the best, probably buy 2, and the backend is probably a 3960x.

True but they're still a sucker.

depend on how they fold, and of course assuming i win the lottery, I'd like to pack 4 of then in one folding box.;-)

As far as folding goes and if winning the lotto was a scenario I would build a couple 4p rigs instead.

A GTX 690 would have to net an insane amount of ppd for me to consider using one for folding; but then again I would never spend 1k on a video card, ever.

BTW: The GTX 680 can work as two GPUs if you add it as gpu-index 0 and 1 it's running as gf:114 and gk:104 at 37-45k PPD
