CUDA client for SETI

That board would be HOT, and I mean temperature wise!! Would love to have one though with 4 GTX280's in it, but it would sure take some serious ventilation in it to keep it from melting.

Now the Skulltrail board is interesting, but I think that it won't be long and there will be some competition out there for them which will expand the options available for the serious gamer/cruncher.

What about a rig with 4x Nvidia Tesla GPUs?

Prices are at about $10K, give or take a couple thousand.

Yeeha.

Oh. %!@#$%^&*!!!
I hit the BUY NOW button and my credit card melted and the wife passed-out.

No Tesla Quad for me until I pay off Christmas, car loan, school fees, contents insurance ... and anything else my wife can think of before I am ever allowed to bring this up again HAHA

LOL, nothing like getting your wife's heart started!!!

I can't remember, whether it was Bender10 or IronBits over at FDC (think it was IB at FDC) and he wrote a short note about the Tessla card in the thread over there on GPU's. While it would be a kick to have one of those boxx(s) to play around with if I didn't have to pay for it, I'm sure that it won't be too much longer and there will be some more reasonably priced alternatives out there. As SMDave was mentioning, 10 big ones for one of the boxx systems.... Technology is moving pretty fast, and while a business or school might afford that for their research stuff, crunchers like us usually aren't quite so fortunate to have the "disposi-bux" to just plop down on a toy like that! At least this cruncher sure doesn't!

So has anyone tried their nvida on the non-beta seti@home project???

Just before leaving for work this morning I switched the machine with the 9500 GT from RC5 (which was due to expire within the hour) to Seti. It download two astropulse units, estimated to take 158+ hrs to complete. After 12.5 hrs/20% complete, it is estimating 96hrs to completion and falling.

On a completely different note, today I purchased 1 9800GTX+ and 3 more of the 9500's. The 9800 will replace the 9500 now installed and the 9500 I pull will be matched up with one of the new ones so I can revive a couple of old AMD_64 X2 3800's that are SLI capable. This should make for a decent small RC5 farm.

Loved your DNET work. Let's hope your new graphics cards perform for SETI.
