I own some high-end computers for graphics work and I was wondering if/when the World Community Grid will start supporting GPUs to compute, because it's much faster. I've got some very high-end nVidia cards with CUDA (GTX 570, GTX 560Ti, etc), AMD 5000-series GPU and a brand new AMD A8-3850 APU.
I would really like to see support for both nVidia and AMD GPUs/APUs but, we don't currently have support for either. Also, members of my team also have very high-end GPUs for gaming (mix of AMD and nVidia too) and are wondering as well. Thanks in advance! |

If you do a forum search you will notice there are HUNDREDS if not more threads about this.
----------------------------------------Some reasons for no support(yet) are "we're not ready for it", "the projects are not suitable for GPU processing", etc... EDIT:Welcome to the forums! But HCC seems to be developing a GPU version.Probably in OpenCL.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 2 times, last edit by Falconet at Sep 24, 2011 8:14:28 PM] |
