This discussion is diverging from stated title of this topic is Pascal GPU cards. That's not to suggest that the spreadsheet shouldn't be discussed ... only that nobody who is looking for that information will find that discussion unless you guys start a new topic with a more well-defined title. @foldy how do you feel about making the spreadsheet into a community resource (perhaps linked from the 3rd party topic as well as from here) and set up a system to allow a method of collecting more data?

@bruce: I created a new thread for Comparison of GPUs PPD/watt and PPD/price
viewtopic.php?f=38&t=29322

Can you move your post "Suggestion: Something like this would be useful:" and the related answers to my new thread?

Do we have any hard numbers from the gtx 1050ti and 1050 cards? Probably some very good efficient folders on mobo power alone.

Hard numbers for the 1050 GPU's might be hard to obtain. As recent releases both gain initial support with the version 375 drivers which do not work with Core_21. No option to revert to an older driver.

Modding the .inf is not possible to add the id to an older working driver like 373.06?

That is a question you would have to ask of nVidia. Both cards are based on different GPU chips than previously released video cards in the GeForce 10 series, so additional driver changes than just the ID being added probably were needed.

On motherboard power alone the gtx 1050 (ti) and Amd rx 460 get better PPD than previous mobo power gpu generations.
e.g. gtx 750 ti got 80k PPD vs the new ones will get around 140k PPD

Is it normal for 1080s to go as low as 300K PPD and as high as 900K PPD? Mine seem to average about 500K PPD throughout the day. Is this normal?

Well nevermind. I think I figured out the problem. One of the cards is sitting in an x1 slot. Didn't realize it wasn't a full x8 or x16 slot even though it's physically an x16 slot. Time to move it to another rig.

Yeah, that's 'normal' - I don't think pcie speed has much to do with it, but you might see a 10% overall boost moving away from 1x.
I see that sort of variation depending on WU even when running gen3 x16. Core 18 projects 92xx are typically the worst performers by a wide margin.

500k PPD avarage is too low for gtx 1080 because of x1 slot. pcie 3.0 x4 may be the lowest without big performance loss.
On faster slot you will get 800k PPD average :-)

The GTX 1050Ti does a little better than you were expecting. My card is producing around 172,000 PPD. And I've seen as high as 178,000 PPD on the stock clocks.

If anyone is curious about the results of a GTX 1060 3GB you can track my stats, I currently fold exclusively with it. You can track my stats here http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/search.php

GTX 1080 Ti gets released in a week for $700 and performs like Titan X Pascal 1.1 mil PPD.

Even more FoldingPower to come:

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia ... 33775.html
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Geforce-G ... e-1222010/

Even a bit faster then the Titan X for a price point of 699$ (plus Taxes).

I think we have a new Folding-King.
