I have a few cards laid around me here. Can i literally plug these Graphic cards in and BOINC will do the work or what? I Have a AGP Gforce 5 & 7 series |

Unfortunately not. It has to be a card from the List of CUDA-enabled GPUs, and that starts with the Geforce 8-series. If you do find one of those lying around, you'll probably need to install a newish driver to go with it, but apart from that - yes, just plug it in and go. Oooops, err, cancel that and make it a 'no': both computers on your account are running Linux, and there's no plug-and-play solution here at SETI for GPUs under Linux yet. Sorry. |

Make an advanced forum search over all subforum with 'Linux CUDA', 'CUDA Linux', 'Linux GPU' and 'GPU Linux' and you will find a few threads about. (strange forum search, that there are different results depend of which word first) AFAIK, there is an app for non-Fermi GPUs with Linux. - Best regards! - Sutaru Tsureku, team seti.international founder. - Optimize your PC for higher RAC. - SETI@home needs your help. - ![]() |
