Everything to Know About GPUGrid

[WhiteFireDragon]

So the Joining GPUGrid guide is done (unless anyone has anything to add...)

Any ideas of other helpful things to add? I'll summarize the work so far later, but that will take quite a while...

one great guide i was looking for but couldn't find was some comparison graphs of ppd vs price or wattage vs ppd of different cards. then we'd know which cards are the most efficient in cost and power consumption.

since there is no guide, what's the general consensus on cards that have good ratio in these category? 9600gso? lol and where does a gtx 260 stand? i know this is not true, but it feels like it puts out more heat than my OC'ed i7

I believe the consensus is that the gtx 275 is the best bang/buck and ppd/watt, but I'd say the 260 OC'd is an arguable second...

Definitely the 2xx series are the best confirmed. I think the 4xx is going to kill it though. Waiting for some real numbers before either doubling up on my 2 series or going 4...

Oh, and for the heat, a gtx260 will put out 175W stock... so OCed you're lookin at 200W ish. The 130W i7 has a hard time keepin up with that... I'm sure if you pushed it high enough you could, but I think the gfx wins...
