Folding at home is all about compute the other aspects of a graphics card don't matter. NVidia has nothing on the open source side when it comes to compute and AMD is 90% of the way there but seems to have no interest in going the other 10% so effectively is equal to NVidia, useless. That leaves the proprietary drivers and the NVidia experience is much better than the AMD drivers when it comes to the proprietary drivers. If you don't need compute then the Mesa AMD open source drivers are superior.
There is also the fact that until a year or two ago NVidia cards were just a far better buy than the AMD parts. AMD has taken a large step forward and may be leading on the bang for your buck aspect as long as you don't need compute on Linux.
