Each GT 1030 will get you about 103k PPD using Windows. Linux is a little worse at 97k PPD on average. So 3 of them running Windows can get you about 309,000 PPD.

That sounds great cause I am only going to put $600 into a folding rig.Each GT 1030 will get you about 100k PPD using Windows. Linux is a little worse at 97k PPD on average. So 3 of them running Windows can get you about 300,000 PPD.

What precipitated the change?
Curious...is your goal just to play with a cheap F@H system or get the most PPD? You're doing the former, but if you're after the most PPD for your dollar, you should buy a ~$600 video card instead. Also, from previous threads, you mentioned that your existing system would be for F@H?? Confused by the waffling.
Just making sure you're on the right track for whatever you want to accomplish (which is...............???).

....you didn't manage to answer the question.
What is your goal with this new folding rig...is it to play with multi-card folding for the experience or to get the most PPD for the money?
FTR, you're only doing one of those (the first thing - 100% ok if that's your goal). If you're looking to get the most PPD for your dollar for this machine, a single $400 video card will trounce those old ones and be more efficient (electricity) in the process. Whatever direction you want to go is, of course, OK, but just make sure you understand what decisions you're making up front instead of kicking yourself in the arse on the backend making uniformed decisions with a limited budget.
Trust me, we know!
0-2 in answering the question straight up, lol. Just confirming... this is your way of saying you want the most PPD for your dollar, right?
An example of a brand new $400 video card from Nvidia is an RTX 4060 Ti. You get about 7M PPD (around 160W) on it compared to the 300k/1M on 1030/1050 (compared to 225W for 3x 1050s, or 100W for 3x 1030s).

We've posted this in a couple of your threads already (including this one)...use this link as a resource for PPD and PPD /KW.

Simply search on the page for the card (I typed in 1030 and 1050) and see where it lands.

No clue where you got that info from. According to the chart above, a 4060 Ti is ~6-7M. I can tell you with mine (W11), it was around 7M for my day of testing before the upcoming challenge.

Realtime Folding@Home GPU/CPU PPD Database & Tools
Oops, I see. It varies by WU, but in 24 hours, I made ~7M PPD off it in Windows 11. the image below is with 4060Ti and 3070 for a full 24 hours (both Windows). You can see between both I peaked at ~14M.
The point was, there are much more efficient cards out there for your money. I think you can see that now.

Most (All?) cards get more PPD in Linux....................you know that (and presumably why you were trying to get Linux working in the recent past).

Thats why I was Trying to get Mint installed I could run it but the F@H Controller would not work.
I just got a idea. What if the folding rig that I have right now I take out 1 of the 1080 tis and replace it with eather the 4060 or 4060 ti but what do I do with the other 1080 ti??

.....sell it? Sell both and get one more efficient card for the money to pair with the 4060 ti? Build another PC? Donate to a friend in need? Whatever the hell you want! Not up to us.
