GPU folding hardware

vaiopup · 09-27-06, 05:14 PM

Never been interested in fancy graphics cards but the gpu folding thing puts it in a new light.

Can anyone advise me which are the lowest spec folding supported graphics cards, and possibly recommend a second level one.......so I can investigate prices etc.

Unfortunately I only have one PCI express enabled board so the others will have a long wait.

Feedback appreciated.

They havnt released GPU folding yet, but as of right now, only ATI 1900* series will be supported. Check out this thread

Yup I know, but it is a cheaper route than another new build.
Just looking for upgrade ideas.......will probably need a new psu too.

Im going to say the x1950, dual GPU

Whats your budget?

Already overdrawn, so I don't have a budget.......whatever it takes for best value/performance ratio.

Whatever the cost, will be cheaper than another rig (and space saving)

Considering it will ONLY be getting used for folding......£200 or less would be nice.

Edit: Just had a glance at a hardware store

.......best make that £300 or less.

Edit 2: Samples
