Description

When setting up a new PC to run AlphaFold locally, should I look for a GPU with more tensor cores or cuda cores? For example, are we better off going with the Nvidia Quadro or GeForce line? Can anyone recommend a sub $5K GPU that would be the best "bang for the buck"?

Also - now that the Amber relaxation step can use GPU instead of CPU, what is the recommended CPU configuration?
