I am thinking of replacing one of my GTX 980s with a GTX 1080, mostly for artwork and 3D rendering. Due to the presence of other equipment in the box, I don't have room to run 3 GPUs concurrently, so one of the 980s will end up being set aside until I can build another machine.
But for me, folding is nearly as important as the artwork. At this moment in time, a 1080 for the art is only a "nice to have", and quite frankly, I could probably wait another several months before it becomes urgent. So it's kind of important to be sure that a "nice to have" 1080 won't break my folding.
Can anybody tell me if the GTX 1080 (plus drivers) is stable for folding these days, or is it still a "wait and see"?
What increase in PPD can one typically expect over a GTX 980?
Depending on the type of work units received, my 980s are currently each bringing in 350-400K PPD.
Thanks.
