GPU's gone wild

[Bender10]

Hi PoorBoy!

Thanks for the tip. I have had a hard time finding (helpful) info on that site. Not everyone posts their hardware setup, and the lines seem to blur across platforms.

A simple solution for me on the Win 64 Box's is to not leave the BOINC Manager Window on any Manager Window that has activity.

I'm must have missed this. I'll try it tonight.


Brucifer,

To me the 'best bang' would be an 8800GT (you can get them for ~$100 or less), with the fastest shader clock you can find (factory settings). You should be able to run a wu in around 15-17 hours, depending on your card.

My eVga 8800GT increases my load around 60 watts when I apply 100% load (crunch) on it. I'm running a amd 9550 on ubuntu 8.04 and it pulls about 200-210 watts running 1 gpu and 3 boinc wu's...
