Zotac 520
Was going to use it in an HTPC but the onboard video is actually not half bad - plays all ripped DVD's and MKV Blu-Ray rips.
So, is it worth while to put it to use folding? How many ppd am I looking at?BBQASUS P8Z68-V PRO; i7 2600k @ 4.1GHz; Kingston HyperX 16 GB @ 1866; Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Deluxe 90GB SSD with Win7 Home Premium 64bit; OCZ Vertex 2 SATA II 2.5" SSD 60GB - Programs; 2 WD 2 TB Caviar Green RAID1; WD 2 TB Cavier Green in external USB3 case;EVGA FTW 670 GTX; Acer 22 inch Widescreen; PSU: Ultra 4x 1050

It has 48 cores, same as the neutered 9600gso 512. (the original had 96 cores) while it will run the gpu3 WU's, it will do so very slowly. my 560 has 336 cores 7 times as many and does 10 -11k per day. you should get somewhere around 1-1.5k PPD. it was designed and bult for HTPC, and isn't much good for anything else. low end gaming maybe. it should kick butt on quake3.

The path to universal understanding starts here: Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Had a feeling that would be the case. Might just let it sit then.
