Looking to increase PPD with GPU?

that's not too bad, my only concern would be was its PPWatt, can you handle the extra heat dump, can the card handle the continuous stress for a year or 2 of folding since it uses so much juice?
 
Not worth it IMO, save some money and go with either a 570 or 580, Lower heat and lower power draw and better PPD IIRC

This.....

Got to keep power use in mind... unless you are in an area that extra heat is a good thing.
 
As an aside,

do you need a passkey to fold with the GPU to get all the pernts that you are due?

No, you do not. GPU WUs do not have early return bonus, which is where the passkey comes in.
 
Theres a 570 in the fs/t right now for that price isn't there?

Actually there were two. One in the DC FS/T and one in the regular FS/T for $210 shipped.

Not sure if the one in the regular FS/T is still available or not, didn't go back and look.
