My question is: Why(or When) BOINC not will be use Power Grafix for Graphic procesor (Radeon & G-force etc..) for calculation!!!
It is more power in my computer.And many users have good Graphic Procesors on your machines
For more information:::

ThanX.

It may become a option in the future. Berkeley staff was looking on it.

There was a project together with NVIDIA in the past, but the problem was that the data transfer over the bus was not fast enough. It seems most of the computations, not only tiny parts must be done on the GPU. But this needs a high level programming language and many time to migrate the program code.

I believe there will be new work on it in the future, but it is a high comlicated job and I am not awaiting to crunch SETI@home on my GPU in the near future.

Seems like quite a good idea, but it might be too complicated, since it would very much depend on the system BOINC is running on, it would be a very far shot!
Just getting the graphics running on all systems is a real problem, so you would guess, using the GPU for processing work units is far far away...

Folding@home is much better in making propaganda then SETI@home. ;)
