Posted 5095 days ago by WhiteFireDragon so is this problem fixed yet? i have two gtx260's, one is working fine, the other one is a 65nm core216 and doesn't work. please let me know if there's hope in holding on to this card for a future fix, or if i should just sell this card because there won't be any plans to problem. |

Posted 5105 days ago by WhiteFireDragon i'd like to say hi to everyone, it's my first post on this forum. i'm going to chime in on my numbers, but i don't want to add any more fuel. i was looking for a crunching card only and didn't know what to pick. i should have seen these forums and this thread sooner, as it would have saved me a lot of time. i did my own research and based on the specs, power consumption, and price, i concluded myself that the gt240 is the best value. when i plugged it in and after it returned a few WU, the results were better than i expected. on win7 64bit and while the CPU was crunching at 100% for WCG as well, this card finished a WU in exactly 8 hours for 5145 points. at this rate, it's at least 15k/day. after slightly OC'ing it and running beta units only, i finish a WU in 21.7 minutes for 281 points. this is projection of 18.7k points per day. with 4 of these, that's 60k/day for regular WU, and 75k/day for beta WU's. if i OC higher, use linux/XP, or pull off WCG to dedicated a CPU thread per GPU, then that will be a huge performance boost also. i don't have a gtx295 to compare using the same exact parameters, but from the results posted so far, 4 of these budget cards beats the 295 in price (got mine for $50 AR), power consumption (mine loads at 45w) , and computational power (15k/day per card). |
