RE: Building a cheap and second hand FP64 Monster -- Gridcoin

in #gridcoin7 years ago

Awesome idea!
I was considering looking into upgrading my video card when I have some money available (my whole system could use it actually), but reading that makes me think my radeon 6770 just may outperform anything else I would get in FP64 crunching!

Sort:  

ah well i just digged in the data shortly, the 6770 is everywhere listed with N/A at double precision GFlops. I did not invest the time to find out why. It was the 6970 that has a quite good performance in this field.

Yeah...I saw that too. Coincidentally, a friend just gave me his old video card, an Nvidia GTX 750 which is leisurely cranking out FP64. Better than none definitely!
