gpu on a 64bit bus?
would a 64 bit bus severely affect folding performance? it's part of specs for RTX 2050 which is actually an Ampere GA107 gpu despite the naming they picked.

Re: gpu on a 64bit bus?
F@h is not too memory speed intensive on a GPU, my guess is that the narrower memory bus might make processing a few percent slower than if the GA107 had a wider bus to work with.
Looking at the description for these cards, it looks like Nvidia is trying for a repeat of the GTX 745-750ti midrange cards. Using a midrange chip from the next generation to fill the performance gap below the top end cards of the prior generation of GPUs. I know the GTX 750ti worked out well, decent performance without requiring additional power connections than what was available from the PCIe slot.
