It has been a few years, but I finally had a chance to build another system and I am returning to the crunching team, very excite :-)

How beneficial is it add my GPU to assist with crunching? I'll be running a 560ti. How much stress does this add to the GPU? (it'll be crunching for about ~12-14 hours a day at least). I'm a little worried about how much stress it might be doing the the GPU since I would like to keep it around for a while, not ready to burn it out quiet yet :-).

FERMI GPU's are great for the daily point production, also good for increasing the temperature in the room :)

As for stress, I believe that computer components are designed to run at 100% thus I do not attribute any stress to running SETI. I've got rigs that have been running SETI 24X7 for years (Intel P4's with hyperthreading instead of cores!).
