I suppose it remains to be seen what will work but I have gx2's era cards and I have half a dozen 5870's that are at least a bit newer.
----------------------------------------My experience of using gpu's like this was not great... can't afford to watercool them so it would be a winter only thing for me. The noise defines where these can run. GPU's break easily too so I would be thinking of attempting to undervolt some. Cost of running is a factor, at least with multiple cards, as is providing good psu's to support them. All in all, whilst I am interested in this new crunching, I am not entirely happy that this is the direction we seem to be going  |

Radeon 4670 - no dual precision floating point capability, but still usable I guess.
I've been using AMD+ATI products for a long time now and would not change to Intel and nVidia. Let's call it sentimental reasons. |

Let's call it sentimental reasons. Your card would work fine right now on Collatz or Moo if you wish to get your feet wet. Those two projects work very well with ATI/AMD cards.   |

I'd probably bring a Radeon 6950.
And possibly a GeForce GTS 250 currently gathering dust in a cupboard, I might consider resurrecting it if the performance-to-noise ratio is high enough. |

Here is an interesting article about CUDA. http://digg.com/newsbar/topnews/nvidia_dresse...rallel_computing_platform. I wonder if it will help WCG.

Since I can't edit the original post at this point in time, I will continue updating from here:
----------------------------------------In my farm: nVidia 210 1GB nVidia 8400GS 1GB nVidia 210 512MB (X2) nVidia 8400GS 512MB (X2) nVidia GT520 1GB Radeon HD 3100 integrated up to 256MB mobile (2300/2400/3200 in BOINC) Unused: Radeon 4350 512MB On the repair table: nVidia 8400GS 256MB Borged systems: Radeon HD 2300/2400/3200 (according to BOINC but not sure actual adapter) integrated 256MB Radeon HD 4250 integrated 256MB mobile (2300/2400/3200 in BOINC) (X3) nVidia 8400M GS integrated 128MB nVidia GT 430 1GB nVidia 210 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6550D (A8-3800 APU) 512MB nVidia 8400 128MB ATI Radeon HD 3000 integrated up to 1GB Since the ATI 4350 is OpenCL 1.0 compliant, it should work here when WCG is ready. However, none of the other OpenCL projects seem to be compatible with it. So, at this time I only have possibly one AMD/ATI capable device that will likely work and it is in a borged system. I am only listing these other devices because they can do work written in CAL as demonstrated at other projects. Edit1: adjusted system configurations Edit2: Updated list     [Edit 3 times, last edit by Coleslaw at Mar 5, 2012 12:33:30 AM] |

In April maybe earlier the new GPU successor of Fermi from Nvidia will be Kepler. The future GTX680 board should be able to beat the top AMD GPU 7970. Wait and see. But if true maybe I will buy one for WCG

For anyone interested, I run Boinc version 8.10.58.
----------------------------------------It quite happily runs 8 threads (i7-2600k) of WCG and 2 Nvidia graphics cards running GPUGrid. Also those graphics cards are different (know to cause issues in some programs) If WCG started GPU crunching I'd bring them over. They are GTX 460 SC running 800/1600 and GTX 560 Ti running 880/1760 each currently brings in around 107000 ppd at GPUGrid. <edit> that should be 6 .10.58 [Edit 1 times, last edit by Simba123 at Feb 14, 2012 11:22:47 PM] |

For anyone interested, I run Boinc version 8.10.58. I thought BOINC was only on 6.x.x right now? What did I miss?  i5-12600K (3.7GHz), 32GB DDR5, Win11 64bit Home |
