What graphics card to Buy
(Message 76798)

I have been looking around but still doubt
For example ...
Should I go for a ATI card with a lot of streamprocessors (example 1200) or a Nvidia with (650 CUDA cores). which i find for about the same price ?

Thanx for the quick respons guys,
Normaly indeed the T-3500 PS is strong enough to cope with some Graphics card.
My budget is around € 130 - € 150.
The site i mostley buy my things on is: http://www.hardwareversand.de/en/43/Graphics+Cards.search
So i dunno what to take best for that budget.
Greets!

Hello guys,
As a relative new cruncher i just got my hands on a Dell T-3500 with a Xeon quad W3530 2.8GHZ and 8gb of ram inside.
It runs on a
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/workstation-chipsets/workstation-chipset-x58.html
I wanted to do some GFN-short task to with this machine. Altough it got a FX Quadro 1800 with only 64 Cuda Cores, i best need a new Graphics card. Since I dont want it to be too High-end and expensive i was wondering which one some more experienced crunchers would advise? :)
Any suggestions ?

Interesting. Given that Piledriver only uses 50% floating point speed, you likely should run LLR and or the CPU version of Genefer on 4 cores rather than all 8. Both programs are nearly 100% floating point, and since you'll get better cache hit ratios with fewer instances, it's likely that total throughput will be increased when running only 50% of the cores. In other words, if you run LLR on 8 cores, I would expect each task to take more than twice as long as each task would take if you're running 4 cores.
Real eager to test that in the near future ! ^^

Since Yesterday, 2 of my 3 computers are showing the problems too ... without any changes being made. Just suddenly ...
One is an Intel - I3 running on Windows 8.0. Normaly he run's 4 tasks at a time, now only 2 and before those to start to run, some 6-8 bounce on the 3 second error :(.
The other is an AuthenticAMD
AMD E-300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics [Family 20 Model 2 Stepping 0]
(2 processoren) with XP SP3. Showing some irregularity
My AuthenticAMD
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor [Family 21 Model 2 Stepping 0]
(8 processoren) is still running fine though
Any real fixes yet please ? :)
