Is there a list that shows PPD scores for current gpu's?

[Bloodgod42]

Im looking at getting a new GPU for a htpc and was looking for a list that showed which cards do better at folding. Im looking at a lower end card with HDMI OUT, such as the HD 3450, but if there was a card that folded better, and was still htpc friendly, then i would go that route. Price is a factor in this case, so sub $100 card suggestions only.

Thanks. Any input is apreciated!

Folding Forums -> GPU client then either ATI or nVidia section.
Both have stickies at the top showing points per card.
ATI Cards.
NVidia Cards.

Luck ...........

You can try an 8800GS, they're easily available sub $100. Newegg has a MIR deal for 9600GS (basically same card rebranded) at $50 but YMMV. Not sure if they have HDMI out, but you can easily pick up a DVI-HDMI adapter.

8800GT w/ bios voltmod does 5200+ points easy.. if that gives ya an idea.. but im not running stock cooling.. and 8800GT's are pretty cheap these days now..

True HDMI with SPDIF is not the same as HDMI/DVI If the OP just want a picture and get the sound a different way, a HDMI/DVI cable is the best bet since you aren't limited to a HTPC card.

luckly ATI thinks ahead of the competition and does support dvi--> hdmi w/ audio.. now if only nvidia would get off their arses and do the same.. then we would really have a war on our hands.. and htpc owners/builders would have a much wider range of choices..
