I have a GTX460 that runs in one system and a GTX550TI in another, both slightly clocked over stock. The 550 take about 30% more time to do a unit than the 460. |

For 100$ the GTX460 maybe the best value. Or thing about a GTX280/285, these cards have a good performance too for gpugrid. |

GTX280/285: If you can get a used one cheaply they're still powerful, but probably less power efficient due to the older process technology. They're drawing way more power than the budget cards as well, so case cooling and PSU have to be able to handle them. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |
