Ran out of 6.08s, went to gpu grid, but my gpu is a 8800 gts (320) and can't run ther software. Are there any other projects i can run on my gpu?

Collatz has both a Cuda and an ATI app.

Aqua, yoyo (but need to check GPU capabilities). Currently MW has CUDA app too, but compute capability 1.3 (full double precision support) required.

You can run GPUGrid with a 8800 gts, but your machine needs to be crunching most of the day, everyday, to return the results by the deadline. Also, you'll only be able to do one WU at a time because of the deadlines.

And since you have a quad-core CPU, you will need projects that use CPU power moreso than a GPU project.

From an Nvidia Blurb:

A very important new addition to the GeForce GTX 200 GPU architecture is double-precision, 64-bit floating point computation support. This benefits various high-end scientific, engineering, and financial computing applications or any computational task requiring very high accuracy of results. Each SM incorporates a double-precision 64-bit floating math unit, for a total of 30 double-precision 64-bit processing cores.


ATI already had it now the newest Nvidia products do too:

But Collatz is offline at the moment -- might be a few days before it returns. They had a nasty problem.

There is a statement by Slicker, the Collatz admin:

Due to a mixture of water and electricity, the power blew and brought down the server. I'm working on getting it working and/or rebuilding it, but really have no idea whether it will be one day or one week. The good news is I have a very recent database backup from just an hour or so prior to the crash.

The Aqua folks have temporarily shelved their GPU workunits (for that matter Aqua won't have new work for a week or so).

For Nvidia -- that means GTS 260 and above (GTS 250 is essentially a revised 9800GTX and doesn't do double precision).

For ATI cards -- 38xx, 47xx and 48xx.
