FFT will not be a problem at first.
We have implemented an alternative algorithm which will be fine to run several types of WUs and we still have Nvidia for the WUs which require FFT.

There is a fundamental flaw with NVidia. They sell GPU’s that are excellent for gamers and for crunchers, but they are expensive due to research and design of cutting edge technology. Partially as a result of this, they don’t sell well against Intel in the low end market – where most of the sales occur. Unfortunately for NVidia Intel have proprietary rights on chip design and can therefore hold NVidia to random – and have been doing so for some time! With a year of financial instability it is little wonder that the manufactures of a panicle technological design are struggling. When you are faced with competitors that are capable of flexing considerable muscle (buy our GPUs or you wont get our CPU’s) and governments who are scared to help NVidia, you are in a difficult position!
It is likely that in Europe Intel could be fined for their present actions, but by the time that happens there might be two CPU manufacturers and the same two GPU manufacturers.
By most accounts the G200 range was difficult and expensive to manufacture so it would be an unnecessary financial burden on the company to try to keep these production lines running. Now is not the time to produce a card that will not sell at a profit! It seems sensible that they are cutting manufacturing back now, several months before the release of the G300 based GPU’s. I expect the new G300 line will require the full attention of NVidia – it could make or break the company. To keep manufacturing lots of pointless old lines of technologies, as Intel do with their CPU’s, would definitely spell the end for NVidia.

Do you have it under Linux?
