Titan Xp

[MARSTG]

Hi there. I am thinking of buying a Titan Xp or a 1080ti, which 99% of the time will be on folding duty. In case I don't find one at reasonable pricing, what other cards from the rtx 20/30 series have similar production numbers? Efficiency is not an issue, the amount of electricity spent is not an issue for me. Thank you!

a great way to compare is to do a general search for "1080ti Lars Folding" which should in most cases return on the first result a web page that has lots and lots of stats on hardware. You can then do similar searches replacing 1080ti with any of the RTXs of interest and see the general overall PPD, or a breakdown of ppd on windows vs linux, average TDP, and even day/week/month electricity costs on an assumed rate... I'm actually shopping around now, too, for something. I hope I don't end up bidding against you, lol (i'm specifically going for a non- Ti card)

The 1080ti was a super folding card and at the right price remains so, it is old though and unless a bargain price will be easily outpaced by most of the RTX series cards for folding. I ran a 1080ti and a 2080ti at the same time and really although just one generation different the output was vastly different with the 2080ti at least doubling on most workunits what the 1080ti could achieve. RTX cards are dropping (finally!) in price as the next gen is anticipated. From my point of view at present the GTX 10 series would need to be super cheap to consider buying right now for folding, but having said that I have a hybrid GTX 980ti doing its best folding away as well as a 1660ti and a 1080 (not ti) but these are running only because they are still functional and I have the space for them.

I jumped on the occasion and got a 2070 Super, these days is doing around 3 mil ppd.
