Folding@Home Releases GPU Client
SB_SamuraiSam writes, "Today the Folding@Home Group at Stanford University released a client (download here) that allows participants to fold on their ATI 19xx series R580-core graphics cards. AnandTech reports, 'With help from ATI, the Folding@Home team has created a version of their client that can utilize ATI's X19xx GPUs with very impressive results. While we do not have the client in our hands quite yet, as it will not be released until Monday, the Folding@Home team is saying that the GPU-accelerated client is 20 to 40 times faster than their clients just using the CPU.'"

Yeah, but what kind of results do you get if you combine the GPU-accelerated client with a KillerNIC video card? It must at least triple the speed. at least.

Looks like a good use of my ATI card when I'm not gaming or Google Earthing under Linux. Sweeeet!

I agree. We should stop all science not having a direct impact on cancer until cancer is cured.

I can't imagine running a gpu at 100% and cpu at 100% for hours on end.
Clearly, you're not one of the millions with an active WoW subscription.
Not all the power gets dissipated as heat. Some gets sent down the Internet tubes.
Obama likes poor people so much, he wants to make more of them.
Precisely.
Is there any way I can use this to make my next graphics card purchase tax deductable?
