I have an an older PC with a PCI-E slot, but a fairly weak power supply. What GPU would be best for folding without requiring a separate power connector?

Thanks.
 
just to clarify, the 9800 GT would get the most, not sure how much you know about folding

You new around here? If so, Welcome to the Team!! grab a badge, they are free!
 
I used to fold for MaxPC about a year back, then stopped due to personal stuff. I'm starting up again now. Since I now spend my time on this forum, I decided to switch over here.

Thanks for the advice.
 
well, welcome aboard! we're glad to have you!
 
Welcome!!

And the 9800gt is your best bet.
Galaxy also makes some without Power connectors.
 
Be caredful, as the 9800gt will still need 100ish watts at maximum, and the 9600gt will need about 59 (nVidia page for the 'low power' die shrink).

Plan accordingly.
