Folding card recommendation

[supergrover]

Hey guys. Putting together a quick folding rig and I need a recommendation on a good gpu for folding. I was thinking of 8500GT for $60, 8400gs for $40, or even an 8200 integrated gpu if I get a new board for $90.

I am guessing that the higher end cards can fold faster, but will there be any real difference between each? planning on using the gpu client of course.

Thanks guys.

I've been getting the 9600GSO cards and they have served me just fine on the cheap.

Thanks MixMan. The 9600GSO would run me about $35 more than the 8500GT. Is this card much better for folding? I won't be gaming on this box.

Thanks again

9600 will do at least 3x the production.

Humm...the 9600GSO is selling for $50cdn nearby with a rebate (119 without rebate). The TD link looks good, but I would have to ship and such. Looked for that card locally at some stores but no go.

Something to think about. wanted to spend $60 locally, but that 9600GSO is a better deal with a freakin rebate.

Thanks guys. Advice heeded and I picked up the 9600GSO for $60 CDN with a rebate. You talked me into a few extra bucks but if its for folding, its worth it
