What is the fastest graphics card for folding?
Modern graphics cards not only cost a fair amount to start with, they also draw a lot of power. Therefore, on this page you'll find two graphs. The first shows the cost effectiveness of each card; calculated by dividing its ppd,
shown previously, by the typical street price of the card.

We’ve also calculated how power efficiency each card is by dividing its
ppd by the total
power consumption of our test rig.
