Like I said on the first topic about folding, gpu folding is for at least good midrange gpus, my lower end nvidia g105 didn't cut it, even gpus closer to midrange had a tough time. Your best bet is probably the regular client with no flag, and big WUs. Though it's best to test a single big WU to see how much memory and cpu it uses compared to default cpu settings.
