My expenditures went into CPU cores last winter and this winter other expenses are taking my BOINC hardware budget.
SiDock suggested they might start working on protein models of a Corona virus, that has not jumped to humans yet, that is causing havoc in pig farming; deaths to extreme diarrhea.
So I'm content with the CPU cores path (also the efficiency of GPU's has some projects years ahead in data and shutting down some GPU WU's).

Please offer me a suggestion for the lowest cost NVidia card that can actually run these as my 1060 only has 3GB. It seems 8GB VRAM might not be enough, IDK.

You'll want 12GB+ for the quantum app. This is the cheapest NV 12 GB card on newegg.

Thanks, I'll do some shopping Friday.

Do a project reset to get the newest apps for gpugrid that can run some of their tasks on gpu's with less memory, my 3gb gpu's are now running most of their tasks again.

If you trust aliexpress or temu they both have AMD 580 8gb gpu's in the $70US and below range. Aliexpress is selling Nviida p4-104 former mining gpu's with NO video output for $65US, I have one and it works great but I did put a 2nd 1gb gpu in the pc for the video output and then had to exclude it from all the gpu projects so it didn't any tasks. BOTH alixespress and temu ship mostly from China and it takes about a month to get to you. SOME people have had problems with them but I have not had any so far and I've ordered over half a dozen things from each one. My last purchase was a thing so I could plug in my hardwired internet into my firestick, I had no clue you could even do that until it just popped up one time!! BOTH sites are TERRIBLE at sorting so you have to do alot of scolling to see exactly what you are looking for.

You're 1050Ti with 4GB is about 50/50 pass/fail so I wouldn't say 3GB is enough.

GPUGrid is NV only.

Thank you I had not noticed!! It's probably a pc problem and I will look into swapping one around today.

Last time I looked, that quantum app at GPUGRID was linux only.
