I’m hoping to get a newer beefier card here soon, they guy I was getting the 2080 Ti from backed out sadly. Need to catch Eury! Haha

What card will you be replacing?

I’d be tempted to get more GPU, but here’s the thing: because the Ebay seller was a d**k and sent me that rusty, corroded card, the Visa credit card customer took my side in a dispute and gave me back the money, so I wound up with a free 1060/6GB card, albeit a crusty one. It works fine and folds at ~500k PPD. I already had a nice Dell Precision tower, albeit a few years old, with room for the card and the necessary power connections for the new (old) GPU. So I was only out a couple of Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate postages and I’m folding away. Folding Karma, but it took some time.

Yeah, that deal with the 1060 was crappy, but at least you got a working but ugly card to mess with. And I was going to replace my 1080 Ti with the 2080 Ti, but for now I’d have both of those folding and take out the GTX 970 I have in my machine folding.
