Good/reliable resource for hardware info?

[maddangerous]

I'll hopefully be able to get back to folding next year, but I want to start planning now.

 

Wondering what everyone is using for a reliable source for cpu/gpu performance? I'll be hitting up ebay when the time is right

Youtube. And passmark for cpu.

Issue with youtube you need to figure if people are cpu bound or gpu bound in their test.

they're talking about folding@home.

 

its not the most accurate thing, but

GPU Folding@Home PPD Overall Ranks Database

FOLDING.LAR.SYSTEMS

 

 

is one

Yes LARS gives best estimates, especially on the more popular hardware.

I have used LARS and they are usually very close in their estimates, so it is a great source for helping you choose which GPU's to buy.

LARS and TPU are a good start to figure out what to buy based on what kind of PPD you are expecting.
