F@H на відеокартах? Налаштування

[masquer]

Ось тут знайшов цікаву інформацію:

March 2006 We have been investigating using ATI boards. The newest ones (with the R520 or R580 GPU -- eg the 1800XT or 1900XT boards) support 32 bit floating point operations, so they now work for folding calculations.

Дуже цікаво буде подивитися на власні очі на продуктивність цього рішення - важко порахувати, GPU має частоти від 500Мгц, але ж вони відрізняються архітектурно від х86... А ще є режим CrossFire

Ось що тести показують - http://www.beyond3d.com/news/images/20051006_folding.gif

New GPU3 (version 6.41) client released

The latest GPU3 client is now on our high performance client download page. This new client improves GPU identification and has several other minor improvements.

For those who are unfamiliar with the other FAH clients: there are several types of high performance clients. SMP refers to multi-core GPUs. GPU3 refers to the latest generation Folding@home GPU client. Currently, GPU3 is only available for NVIDIA GPUs, but we are working on a GPU3 release for ATI. For NVIDIA GPUs, we recommend GPU3. For ATI, we suggest GPU2 until GPU3 has passed through its QA testing (going on now). Finally, the v7 Folding@home client (currently in alpha testing) has these functions (SMP and GPU) built in and will not require a special client.
