An OC 570 gets about 154,000 Boinc points/day, so not really worth it for the points, but I would expect an AMD card to be much better, which I don't have at the moment

[Otis11]

Yeah I would say keep the Nvidia cards on GPUGrid... but it's a nice alternative for those who have only ATI cards!

Any more information on it?

[FaYt]

Yeah will do some research this sounds good

[stoneageman]

Where's all the AMD card owners when you need 'em

[FaYt]

I'm here whith 2 cards

These baby's are putting out heat 80 C per 6850 card i think i'll put my fans on high (lol fans in the case on high temps go to 71 C instead of 80~81 C and thats in a room temp of 21.5 C)
Just one question, will this boost my GPU Grid points... ??

[stoneageman]

You've just doubled the members & no, it's a separate project. Nice cards you have there. Are they overclocked? They each look good for 320,000 boinc points/day

[FaYt]

nope to standard 6850 Cards CU from Asus i'll put them at work

Any idea what a 2600pro would do?? Have lots of them

Aw, sad to hear about that. Hope his eyesight improves and that everything else is well.

As for the graphics cards - Nvidia cards are still the best option (IMO) as they contribute to the project directly. With this the recommendation would be a GTX 570 until kepler comes out.

For AMD cards (bitcoin) it looks like the ideal is still 5970, 5950 (flashed to 5970) or 5970. But as those cards are hard to find for reasonable prices the 6950 (flashed to 6970) would be next best with an actual 6970 coming in next if you are not willing to flash the cards.

Hope that helps! If you need any more info just ask and we'll be happy to help!

ty otis on the fast reply i just ordered 2/ 7950s and 1 /7970 i hope those will work out, im not sure he will buy nvidia cards again he had lots of bad luck
with there cards over the years. re-badge 250s and a few others. I myself like them but he buying im just a helper.

[stoneageman]

Those should do very nicely. Great to have you both along for the journey

[Otis11]

Ah! I forgot the 7 series are out by AMD! (Can you tell I'm much better with the Nvidia cards? )

But those will work great! You're looking at 1.6 Gh/s on those 3 cards.

Is Firepro V7900 compatible with this project ?

hello all i was wondering if a 65 watt tri core Liano and use the built in gpu would work on this project.
I like the idea of low power consumption, also got my new cards in im waiting on my dad to get back he will be home next week some time. ty all.

I honestly don't know... I'm not that experienced with the donate project or client - hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will chime in, but I have a feeling as this is based off of bitcoin the guys over here might be able to answer your question.

[Kingcarcas]

I still don't even know wth bitcoin even is guys...............srsly

[badbaker`]

I have a spare 6870 I am willing to donate, if anyone is interested?

[stoneageman]

The team needs all the help it can get

[shadowwind]

old nvidia cards work as well i got my dads old gtx 260 working going to try a 250 in a few mins.
on the 260 i had to under clock it to get it going.

oh and badbaker

Thanks, I won't be joining the team. Yet. Currently in the process of moving from australia to new zealand. But I found a powercolour 6870 in a cupboard and would like to donate it to someone who needs it, and would but it to good use and a good cause.

[FaYt]

You may send it over here... but i'm in the netherlands.... long way from australia...

[badbaker`]

If your willing to pay the postage, its yours free. Still have the box and all.

[FaYt]

ill pm you and i will see what the postage is/.

Sorry S,A,M im going to pull out for a bit every friday i lose the server then get it back to lose it again,

I have not seen the server in 24 hours and it seems to me they dont care any more.

Nate has the cash needed to continue on the gpugrid, so im going to try and catch gpu beta for wcg.

it was fun
