Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : combining gpugrid and world community grid (5.10 client)

I'm cpu-crunching for the world community grid project, which advises the boinc 5.10 clinet. And I'd like to see gpugrid in action... Is there any way to combine the two? Can I just install the 6.x boinc client next to it? Does it make sense (will gpugrid leave any cpu time?). | |

Can I just install the 6.x boinc client next to it? Does it make sense (will gpugrid leave any cpu time?). Yes, you can do this, no problem. I have at least one other project on my GPU enabled boxes. Simply install 6.3.10 over the top of the existing Boinc installation. Your existing projects will crunch away as normal. If your machine has the correct hardware you can then connect and crunch on GPU grid too. Be advised that the GPU grid application takes a full CPU core, so a quad core will crunch 3 other normal WU and a dual core one other standard WU. If you are running on a single core, Boinc should schedule as normal, but I can't confirm that to be the case as I don't have any single core crunchers on GPU grid. Either way, your project cache may take a few days to settle down, the scheduler being rather erratic at first. ____________ | |

Is there a way for my quad to crunch 4 units AND have the graphics card doing 1? only under MS Vista & Folding @ Home ;) there is only GPU Power 4 Crunching ... or you by an dualQuadsystem ... then u have many more Cores 2 Crunch ;) :) :) ____________ | |

Which will produce more credit, 4 cores of Q6600 CPU @ 2.9 ghz or 3 cores at 2.9 ghz + 1 Nvidia 8800 GT 512 Definitely the last option. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 | |

I know this asked a long time ago by the original author, but other people may still be asking. | |
