I was going to check what my GTX 1050 Ti would get versus my RX 5700 on the GPU PPD Database, but OCN is just royally borked right now:
Here's the link for now at least:

It looks like under current numbers:
- GTX 1050 Ti gets ~200k PPD
- RX 5700 gets gets ~850k PPD
So not really worth folding on the GTX 1050 Ti and better just saving that for Plex Transcoding.
Now the GTX 1660 Ti on the other hand with its current ~800k PPD would get a 27% boost or so up to ~1mil PPD which makes it very attractive as a Folding@Home card. I'm kind of thinking of just removing my 10 gig network card in my Gaming rig and having the following Expansion Cards:
- RX 5700 (Use as main gaming card and for Folding@Home when not gaming)
- GTX 1660 Ti (Use for NVENC for Capture Card and for Folding@Home nearly full-time)
- Elgato 4k60 Pro Mk.II (For capturing Nintendo Switch or Gamecube)
Might need to upgrade my power supply for this, but it would let me get a little more life out of my X470 + 2600x without any other major upgrades until Ryzen 5000 and RX 6000/GTX 3000 stabilize on price and availability.
The RX 5700 is all I really need at this point for Warframe, Emulators, RocketLeague at 1080p 120Hz so thinking just having a secondary GPU for NVENC and Folding@Home might be a better "GPU Upgrade" for my system. And before anyone asks about why I'm using 120 Hz, well it's just a lot cleaner to my eyes when I'm watching content that is 30 of 60 FPS while still playing nicely with 24 FPS content as well.
