Re: low-end GPU comparison (AMD vs. Nvidia)

Around 3x the GFLOPs, slightly higher TDP? :D Regarding this: So if i leave the video card BIOS as-is, it will not go over 40W TDP, even within a Linux environment (meaning roughly 300% the GFLOPs, at a cost of 133% TDP)? I'm asking due to the discrepancy between Nvidia's advertised TDP for the car...

Re: low-end GPU comparison (AMD vs. Nvidia)

Not. Are you saying an R7 240 will not fail to meet deadlines? Please clarify. I answered the question you asked. 8-) snip... As suggested, if someone can confirm whether or not a low-end R7 series GPU will fail to meet deadlines , that would be helpful. "will not fail to meet deadlines" ...

Re: low-end GPU comparison (AMD vs. Nvidia)

Not. Are you saying an R7 240 will not fail to meet deadlines? Please clarify. I got both those numbers from Wikipedia, so I know you can find a chart that shows them. GFLOPs does not provide an exact indication of F@H performance but it does provide a reasonable indication. Yea, I'm saying I found...

Re: low-end GPU comparison (AMD vs. Nvidia)

Easy enough to look up on wikipedia, persons have posted listed of the GPU's from AMD and nVidia including specifications from the manufacturers. However, as a fairly low end card I suspect it would not be fast enough to process current GPU folding WU's within the deadlines. Someone who has a simil...

Re: low-end GPU comparison (AMD vs. Nvidia)

The GeForce GT 620 card is rated at about 270 GFLOPs. The Radeon R7-240 is about 470 GFLOPs. Well then, that settles it. :P I wasn't aware you could just look up the GFLOPs for a given GPU and use it as an accurate measure of compute power in terms of Folding (actually, I didn't even know you could...

low-end GPU comparison (AMD vs. Nvidia)

AMD Radeon R7 240
vs.
Nvidia GeForce GT 620

I realize both options are fairly abysmal, but if you had to choose between the two (in terms of computing power only, and ignoring TDP or power draw), which would it be?
