Dear All,

I'm about to buy new hardware and I'm already aware that the new VMD
will support real-time raytracing (aka RTX) on Turing GPUs, as announced
in this message:
https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/30255.html

Are there any other advantages of the new Turing GPUs for VMD use and
CUDA calculations, in comparison to Pascal? As my budget is fixed I want
to make an fair balance between number of cores, RAM and GPU capability.

Thank you,

Pawel
