Here is a EVGA GT 430 but it is 128 bit and is fan cooled. Same price (refurbished) and with FREE shipping.

No no no Pope Dan has it right. The one you've linked is PCIe, not PCI. No reason to buy a GT 430 PCIe since you can get a GT 630 or 640 for those slots on the cheap. But for a PCI slot the GT 430 is still the best there is.

There were some GT 630s made for PCI, but they were OEM only and can't be purchased anywhere

Sorry, I mis-read. Back to school for me. I hav e to agree that you don't want a PCI-E for a PCI slot. Of course that might be another use for a Big Hammer!

*checks watch*

Yep...shouldn't be long now before Duke posts a picture of this big hammer...

I forgot that we have to watch what we say when The Duke is around.

Not me about computers my friend.

By the way what is a PCI thing?

Since Dirt has changed the WU length and their issued credits twice since this thread was started, thought i'd give an update.

GT 430 (PCI) stock app: 42,995 seconds = 50,610 credits/day
GT 430 (PCI) opti-app: 22,879 seconds = 95,108 credits/day

Will update with Primegrid PPS Sieve in a little while

That beats:

nVidia 8800GT with Opti App (26,096 seconds)
ATI Radeon HD 5700 - no Opti available - (~25000 seconds)
ATI Radeon HD 5800 - no Opti available - (19,500 seconds) --not beat, but when you consider the low wattage and heat of the GT430...

I am thoroughly impressed with its PCI use, small form factor, low power requirements, and price tag about $35-40.

PPS Sieve: 6,883 seconds = 42,315 credits/day

@Vic: yes they are great little crunchers for cheap. Also, it's not like there is any other use for a PCI slot anymore anyway. Might as well stick a GPU in it
