To get a GPU with increased speed, you'll need to keep the next-to-the-last-digit (in this case, the 7) the same or greater (i.e. greater than 7).
Agreed that there is a general perception that, based on previous launches, the 2060
SHOULD have be expected to perform similar to a 1070. Now if the price parity between series had been maintained ...
The original title, however, was meant to convey based on the initial SP FAHBench results that the 2060 was, in fact, closer in performance to a 1070Ti and thus punching way above it's weight class as a 1070 Ti is generally accepted to be able to perform almost the same as a 1080 and thus the 2060 represents a very good value for Folding.

What gives you the impression that the Advanced flag is deprecated? It most certainly is not deprecated. It merely indicates that a folder is willing to accept WU's from projects that have recently been moved out of beta testing. They might still have some issues with hardware and OS configurations not encountered during initial testing.
Ahh OK, I was thinking of the
Big Advanced flag not the
Advanced flag.
Once I get things tuned a bit better I will set that on my Development system that has a 1060 6GB in it. I assume that once the WUs are out of Beta that there's really no point reporting WUs that consistently run at a lower PPD like 11718?
