A Nvida 570 or nvida 560Ti? I just ordered the Evga 570 so I hope I made the right choice. What do you think the difference in PPD would be. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I found this chart on hardware canucks: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/ha ... ew-17.html Looks Iike I should have bought 2 560Ti instead. Hard to say, What do you think?
What Graphic Card is better at folding?

Re: What Graphic Card is better at folding?
for folding... the 570 without a doubt...
The 560 Ti has 384 CUDA cores at 1644MHz
The GTX 570 has 480 CUDA cores at 1464MHz
Overclock the extra 96 CUDA cores on the GTX570 and you'll have a folding monster. I can overclock my GTX 570 up to 1650MHz on the shaders, so you can match the shader speed of the 560 Ti, but have 96 extra cores working the F@H WU.
As you said two 560 Ti's would get you 768 CUDA cores cranking away, so yeah, that would be faster than a single GTX 570
