gpu's yield the best point gains because of their vastly superior floating point operations/calc's per second, my 3950x would get me about 9k-12k points per wu and take twice as long to process than my 2070s which would gain 150K-200K per wu, basically the point gain is determined by their benchmark system which i believe is powered by a 1060 base model then how much more quickly and efficiently your system runs "comparable" wu scales up the multiplier. this is why I have been sourcing as many evga 2060 ko ultra's as i can. evga has been putting tu104 dies in these cards, it's the same die that's in the 2080 and my 2070S, they have fused off the "gaming/gfx" side of the die to limit performance to that of a regular 2060 but left the workstation features intact. these features that weren't fused off vastly improve 2 things I'm interested in and that is F@H and crypto mining. https://www.tech-critter.com/evga-rtx-2060-ko-tu104-150-rtx-2080/
at $300 a pop or $320 for the ultra, their gold to me
