Yeah I know about those projects and I don't care about them, I want medical projects to help with, I think that comes first before any other research. And yes, I already posted that is unlikely because of that, I made this thread so people could post their "outdated" cards here, so the community have an idea of the potential and maybe someone might do something about it.

Thanks mate, but unfortunately POEM uses 1 full core for every GPU, so I prefer WCG to use my CPU cores. I have also searched for GPU projects and found other protein research oriented but all had a similar CPU core usage or needed 64-bit floating point GPUs. Well looks like I'm officially GPU "outdated", and I put it in quoting marks because each of my GPUs can give 960 GFLOPS so I think they're still useful and powerful enough to do good, imagine thousands of such cards mostly idle, well, it is what it is.

To Admins: This thread has nothing to do with the Betas and so should get moved to the "GPU Support Forum".

I'll try to get into a GPU project but I think is a big mistake what protein GPU projects are doing: not making use of 32-bit floats GPUs and if OpenCL will use a lot of or a complete CPU Core per GPU then I think is not done properly at least on the software if the hardware allows it, because we have serial buses (makes them independent from each other and more dedicated to individual hardware devices) and DMA (Direct Memory Access) from devices and this should be the case of GPUs so GPUs can actually act as graphics co-processors as efficient as they can be. GPUs can do SOME things faster than CPUs, not everything so the efficient thing to do is that GPUs use 1% at most CPU time (I'd like it to be .1%) and accelerate protein research even more. If the hardware is the efficiency bottleneck then it should be redesigned, I think the IT industry have seen how much good CPU/GPU protein research for Humanity hence the design towards it, but we need to make it efficient as well since is the greatest thing to make an altruistic effort like this, so the better we make it the most altruistic it is and Humanity benefits more; just my thoughts.
