Its alive!
My 9700K and RX Vega 64 are projecting 1.2-1.5 million PPD. I suspect AVX2 is allowing the CPU to pull in more weight over my previous 3570K (which lacked it) then simply having twice amount of cores.

Radeon RX 5700XT is currently unsupported for Folding @Home. Will the situation get better when the second set of RDNA cards (based on smaller Navi) is released next week?Don't sell your Radeon RX580 short, I plan to shop for one in the near future. I think with a slight under-clock a 580 should make decent points with reasonable temps.

Heck, my effort in the next few days will (I hope) be a GTX650Ti, if I can revive my bricked i5-750 or master a Kubuntu 18.04.3 dual boot learning curve!
Damn, I hate typing on my Nook HD+! My browsing laptop also recently bricked.

I’m not endorsing the GeForce RTX 2060SUPER at its high price on a 12 nm process, but it should support FreeSync on your monitor.

edit - It seems almost like an Intel level of product segmentation. Forcing GPU compute workload users to buy a work station video card or a Nvidia card.
