Folding@Home NVIDIA GPU Client Confirmed

Iria · May 23, 2008, 04:00 AM

After first getting information on NVIDIA's acquisition of RaySpace earlier today, we have some more fantastic news for NVIDIA GPU users and fans of the Folding@Home project.

Apparently we aren't allowed to talk about specifics on performance of the client, mostly because the numbers we saw were based on an "upcoming NVIDIA GPU". I don't think I'll be spoiling anything by saying the new GPU was incredibly fast and if the term "500 ns per day" means anything to you, you will probably be impressed.

I noticed that they removed earlier ATI products from the GPU client. Now it only supports the 2000 and 3000 series of cards.
