Hi guys, I have a ATI RADEON 4890 1 GB DDR5 but the BOINC never use my RADEON!! Some one can help ? Check the link out. It is a bit outdated now but is still helpful. Aqua and DNETC are no longer active projects and should be removed from the list. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing Edit: Also, GIBA... GPU.org? Did you mean http://www.gpugrid.net/ by chance? If so, they don't use ATI cards presently, but supposedly are working on it. GPUGRID is only to Nvidia. |

I guess one could assume other manufacturers such as Intel. However, supposedly the Sandy Bridge and newer Intel GPU's are capable once BOINC supports it with newer releases. Also, since you also asked for more clarity, no WCG does not currently have support for GPU, but are working on it. A simple forum search brings up several posts on that subject.

I know they aren't high end by any means, but I just picked up another nVidia GeForce 8400GS for $4.99 after MIR and free shipping from Newegg.com. I love replacing onboard video with GPU crunching cards. When it comes in, I will update my list on the front page.

Next couple days i'm upgrading mine:
----------------------------------------24-Nov-11 11:09:25 | | ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 4700/4800 (RV740/RV770) (CAL version 1.4.1589, 512MB, 960 GFLOPS peak) 24-Nov-11 11:09:25 | | ATI GPU 1: ATI Radeon HD 4700/4800 (RV740/RV770) (CAL version 1.4.1589, 512MB, 960 GFLOPS peak) To HD6850's (4770's currently crunching MW@Home and Collatz as backup)... Then going to wait till WCG launches beta GPU WU's to buy more GPU cards (WCG will support NVidia, ATI or both?  )Best Regards, Carlos R. Moreira  |

On the principle of learning to walk first before running, I'm looking to go middle-of-the-road in GPU hardware. If my finances allow and I gain enough experience using the GPU in all of its crunching aspects (GPU WU crunching behavior vis-a-vis WCG GPU operational policies, support, deployment schemes, etc), I'll consider upgrading to the high-end just short of the extreme-end. In any case, I'm going for AMD cards in an AMD CPU machine running Ubuntu.

I'm going for AMD cards in an AMD CPU machine running Ubuntu. Good luck with the drivers!PS. Good point about the GPU crunching learning curve, it's more of a mountain than a hill. |

You meant support ? Drivers work just fine for the supported projects. Not lots of those tho, NVidia have better support @ Boinc then ATI, more project options to choose from... |

Good luck with the drivers! I haven't done some research about the drivers scene yet. The potential of the lack of drivers for the AMD-Linux platform may hamper the push towards an AMD-Linux based GPU-computing, indeed. AMD may have fumbled the ball in their Bulldozer CPU effort, but I have faith and confidence that AMD, this time around, will not fumble the ball in the GPU-computing front....the GPU crunching learning curve, it's more of a mountain than a hill. Sounds like my idea of fun !  ; |
