new price, probably 1660ti on the special app with Linux

used price, you should be able to find an RTX2060 for $300, again, on the special app with Linux.

I was looking at Shaggie's chart. It looks like a gtx 1660Ti is the most power efficient right now. And it is running neck and neck with gtx 1070/gtx 107Ti's.

Here is a really good compute performance article testing OpenCL compute performance and performance per watt on devices from Maxwell to Turing for Nvidia cards. Includes the new Super cards.

The 1660Ti is generally the card of choice, although the 1660s are cheaper.
Making use of some command line values would improve their output considerably.


Just one thing to note- with the drivers you are running on your systems, you will see some WUs error out (look at the Errors in your Task List). The last working driver was v431.60, everything after that will result in errors with particular WUs.
