What a waste! You could get 300,000 credits a day fining cures for CRC/HIV with that lot. Did you know that you can have Boinc stop crunhcing when a program (game) runs? It's more a question of heat generation than worrying about performance while gaming. At the moment I don't want to risk shortening their lifespan. If/When I build a new PC I would likely be more open to running GPU tasks on this particular machine. That is at least a year or two down the road however. |

I am currently looking for a new GPU for Battlefield 3 and found this article. It looks like HCC2 might use CUDA so I will probably go for NVIDIA.

One Nvidia GTX 460, a few GT 430s (and one ATI Radeon 3850HD but that's probably too old).

The fact that this thread is three years old and there is no GPU computing on world community grid is SIMPLY PATHETIC. Who is running this show? They should all be fired and replaced with someone who has vision. I know I have over 15 Fermi cards just waiting to crunch and I am a mere microcosm of this community @ rank 863. What a WASTE! The WCG needs to implement GPU computing. It is actually negligent for allowing all that processing poer to go wasted for so long.

Perhaps you should take the time to peruse some of the many threads that go into extreme detail of the pros/cons/timelines of GPU development.
----------------------------------------At the very least, you might come into an understanding that each science develops its own programs and it is up to them, not WCG staff, to determine if GPU processing is feasible or not. The short answer is, HCC will likely be the first science to implement GPU crunching, when is still to be determined but it's getting closer all the time.

I am currently looking for a new GPU for Battlefield 3 . . . BF3 coming out on 25Oct. Will see if it's graphics swamp a 1Gig 250. . . but there will be a new sheriff in town soon: Nvidia Kepler cards will triple the dual-precision floating point performance of Fermi and hit up to 6 dp GFlops, while its successor Maxwell (scheduled for a 2013 release) is expected to with almost 16 dp GFlops. These are big promises and Nvidia wouldn't want to miss them. More. . . . . . and Windows 8 will be out by this time next year. . . .  [Edit 2 times, last edit by Sid2 at Sep 24, 2011 1:40:32 PM] |

I do over 786,000 Boinc points a day on Boinc of which 61,000 Boinc points are CPU driven, all CPUs are dedicated to WCG. I can't wait for WCG to support GPU becasue I will shift all of my GPU power to ECG, which will in increase my WCG contribution by over a factor of 10!
