New client for GPU

[BlackAdder]

I'm running two GPU's right now, no problems as long as you use the right drivers, I use the 7.2 version . I get at least three wu's and sometimes four a day done between the two cards. thats 990 points or 1320 per day...not bad I think.

Do you run the regular client on one core while running the GPU client. Do you think you can get more PPD running the SMP client than running one client + the GPU client?

Hi 'rapter, As far as I know only ATI cards work on GPU workunits. Still only the X1600 thru X1950's, not any of the brand new ones yet

thanks for the quick answer,
then i´ll have to wait until it comes out...
have a nice day, vel...

nVidia support wont be around for a while and a 7600 definetly wont be able to crunch. It's to do with the different architectures that nVidia and ATI use. Ati's is useful for the FAH project, nVidia's isn't.

, so you say i have generally the wrong GPU, and i can never ever crunch with it???
really bad news.......
i really have to do something about this......
hope i will find something usefull to do with it.....

Currently, thats right. No plans to get nVidia's working with folding.

I did hear that nVidias 8800 series could run distributed.net (not useful anyway)

Hi all, Folding at Home released a Beta GPU client for the newer X2000 and X3000 GPU's, it runs good but the WU'S are short and the credits are so far 97 points each. My 3870 does a frame in 1.14 minutes average, and they have the standard 100 frames. There is no display yet but progress can be checked with FahSpy and maybe the others too. Happy Crunching !!
