Projects Supporting ATI GPU

[gamer007]

Hey guys, so I went from a Nvidia 8800GT to an ATI 4850. It's a nice change since the 8800GT is really loud when playing games or running CUDA projects.

I'm wondering what projects support ATI's GPU (not sure they call their "CUDA").

MilkyWay@Home, Collatz Conjecture, DNetc, PrimeGrid subproject sieving - all BOINC and a new one released today for the non-BOINCers at No Prime Left Behind sieving.

Yea, AMD didn't put much money on the marketing of the "ATI Stream" as a name. And I guess now it's too late anyway because ATI as a brand will cease to exist, it will be only AMD... so I guess it will be "AMD Stream" sometime soon?

I'd rather see OpenCL applications with Boinc, able to be run by either ATI/AMD or nVidia cards. Then we can also see what's more important: GMips (ATI/AMD) or a sooped-up shader clock (nVidia). Best would be a combination of both of course...Little comparison (nVidia sorted upwards, Ati downwards, so best cards of both are just above/below each other)

I'd forgotten about that project, I have its nvidia client running - tasks take 18+ hours to run. Under Linux they take 48-72 hours with a GTX460.

Congratulations on a worthy milestone.

Hmm,

I may be a rookie on this forum, but I've been a member of the group AMD users for at least 5 years. Ever since my old IBM group was disbanded by handing over the division IGNS to AT&T (in 1999), I crunched not for IBM, but for myself. I must have been then that I became a virtual citizen of the British Virgin Islands. At first I only did Seti@Home, later (that's a whole 5 years later, 2005) I also crunched Einstein@home, LHC@home, Rosetta@home and Predictor@home. Must have joined AMD users round that time as well. In 2006 SIMAP followed, in 2009 Leiden Classical and later that year Milky Way and Malaria Control. It was evident then that Predictor had stopped. I had bought a GPU by then, originally specially for Seti and Einstein, but to give to poor thing (A GT9500) something to do I also signed up for Collatz and DNETC. This needed a better GPU, so I bought a GTX260 on the 2nd hand market. This turned out my best aquisition in hardware ever so far.
