The question isn't if, but When will we see a client that supports offloading the FLOPs to the GPU? a 50-100 times increase in performance is not something to take lightly. We should be on this like white on sour cream. I have a dual x1950 Crossfire setup just WAITING to attach to the first BOINC project to utilize this technology. ID: 2534 · Reply Quote
