With all the GPU talk going on, I was wondering what kind of GPU's people would bring to the table. Currently, I have the following and will add more or upgrade to better as I can afford.
----------------------------------------In my farm: Radeon 4350 512MB nVidia 8400GS 1GB nVidia 210 512MB (X2) nVidia 8400GS 512MB (X2) nVidia GT520 1GB Unused: nVidia 210 1GB nVidia 8400 128MB On the repair table: nVidia 8400GS 256MB Borged systems: Radeon HD 2300/2400/3200 (according to BOINC but not sure actual adapter) integrated 256MB (X2) Radeon HD 4250 integrated 256MB (2300/2400/3200 in BOINC) nVidia 8400M GS integrated 128MB nVidia GT 430 1GB nVidia 210 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6550D (A8-3800 APU) 512MB nVidia 8400 128MB Edit1, 5, 7: updated for systems that were upgraded Edit2: A bit off thread topic but very informative for those seeking more info on CUDA vs. OpenCL: http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1005/1005.2581.pdf Edit3: Added a needs repair list Edit 4, 6: Fixed typo and edited list. Edit8: Updated for system upgrade and added list for cards currently unused.     [Edit 8 times, last edit by Coleslaw at Jan 6, 2012 12:55:29 AM] |

I would bring my Nvidia EVGA 470 SC.
----------------------------------------The rest are too slow to even consider and that does include my ATI 5770. I wonder if and when WCG does come out with a project if it will require double precision cards? Single precision card are too slow to even bother with. Thoughts?  Here is a list of DP cards (in bold). [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 25, 2011 3:33:01 PM] |

ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB it's a beast. You should get some WCG projects that support GPU folding.

Would bring my ATI 6950 2GB card to the table. Can't wait until WCG brings GPU crunching. My card needs to earn it's keep.

Bearcat we have the same GPU! It's powerful isnt it? You can flash it to a 6970 easily too, but I havn't yet. Great for games, not sure how good it is for GPU folding though.

I only have a Nvidia G105M and only has aprox. 160 Gflops

Although I have several high end NVidia cards I would only use my HD 5850 here, and only if a project turns up very soon; the Fermi's are presently fighting HIV and Cancer amongst other good projects elsewhere. Would chip in for testing if needed though. Due to the electric heist the HD 5850 will probably have to go in Oct, along with a GTX 260-216 (55nm), an i7-920 and a Q8400 :(
In the long run, by this time next year, I would like to think I would have the next generation of NVidia card and a 22nm CPU; not so demanding on the running costs, hopefully. By then we might actually have a GPU project here, and not have to speculate - but I expect WCG will not try to push any OpenCL project out until it's good and ready. |

I will wait until I see what crunches the best on whatever projects WCG brings to the GPU world. Currently, I'm fairly high-end with GTX480 at GPUGrid (the same HIV/ Cancer, et al. research skgiven is referring to). On some level I am a bit of point/ position ***** and would consider brining a GTX295 out of retirement for a new bio-med project, just have to wait and see :shrug:

I was crunching at prime grid for awhile. It will heat up a room quick but it crunches great. Thought about flashing it but decided it's fine the way it is. I'll be waiting for WCG to start GPU crunching. Would rather crunch for cures than prime numbers.
