which GPU can i use?

Hello

I was wondering, which is the best GPU? i can use for crunching task better for FightAids@home i currently have a 780 but i guess i cant use it for this project.
Any recomendations for performing better for this project?

I currently have a corei7 930 @3.6 and 16 gbs of ram

Re: which GPU can i use?

Right now, there are now WCG projects that can use a GPU, they are all CPU based. You can use the CPU for WCG projects and the GPU for other BOINC projects.

Slight misspell... I think Ian was trying to say "Right now, there are no WCG projects that can use a GPU" biggrin

SRI was considering making GPU app for FA@h...but d development of that app would surpass the CPU power of finishing project...so they abandon it!

maybe they consider it now, that OET runs also VINA & AUTOdoc app engine?


btw, probably u can use XEON PHIs for crunching...as it is a intel based CPU on a card!
haven't tried it though...
wink

Re: which GPU can i use?

If you sign up to gpugrid you can use your GPU to crunch molecular dynamics while your CPU works on WCG.

There's plenty of advice on which GPU performs best at:

Re: which GPU can i use?

only GPUgrid will make your computer UNUSABLE!

there r some program which can work in background, as u work on your computer...GPUgrid should be only work when not using graphics at all!

GPUGRID works fine for me and I can still use my computer.

" only GPUgrid will make your computer UNUSABLE!"

No issues here running GPUgrid, concurrent with 90% on the other cores with WCG.

Boinc also stages the GPU card so if you set it to 50% then the GPU crunches at 50%, as far as I can tell.
