Mike,
I used to do SETI. But now that I teach and partly because My Grandmother has Alzheimer's, my class and I are contributing to Folding at home with Stanford university.
We are currently in the top 1000 teams in the world with regard to production. I recently put an ASUS GTX 970 Strix in my computer for the folding and man is it fast.
If you want some big numbers, this is the GPU to have.
If you decide to move your resources to something else, let me know. We would love to have you over at our folding team.
Thanks
Tommy
