Folding Forum

Thank your for the quick response!! Whats the ppd for the AMD Radeon PRO WX 2100? I was really hoping this hd7670 could do something. I actually reported to ebay that the seller sold a fake card. About a week later my ebay account was suspended after getting reported by multiple accounts that never bought from me.

I currently am looking at buying a few AMD Radeon PRO WX 2100 to fold! I bought a gt 710 really cheap on ebay and it pushes about 15k ppd a day!! Im glad im able to help the medical field with these computers!! Thank you again and happy folding everyone!!!

Once my budget mess is sorted out (and debts are paid off), I will be looking for better graphics cards for my systems. By that time, the supplies will be back to being stable.

For anyone who's looking for decent low end NVidia cards, I'd suggest looking for those that are running either the Pascal (GT or GTX 10xx/10xx ti), or Turing architectures (GTX 16xx/RTX 20xx). Even the low end of the Ampere architecture (3060/3060 ti/3070 and 3070 ti) may give better performance for the price (when compared to the Turing GPU's). Look on Newegg.com or shopblt.com. I can no longer safely recommend using any NVidia cards with the Kepler architecture--like the GT 710/GT 720/GT 730 or GT 740), on any WU that has less than a 4 day completion time-frame.

I can not give a fair recommendation on AMD Radeon/Radeon Pro GPU's, as I am only using one system that has a Vega 8 iGPU (on a Ryzen 3 3200G CPU).

I came across unconfirmed mention that Sapphire may have sold a 4 GB version of the HD 7670, but all the confirmed ones were 1 or 2 GB.

As for the processing power of a WX 2100, the closest AMD non-pro card to it appears to be the Radeon RX 540. The 2100 runs at a slower clock speed, so its PPD would be a bit less. Couldn't find any figures for the RX 540, but being a bit more common someone here may have used one for folding.
