Here ya go.

Bad thing is the app fails to run. Looks like it's testing for compute capability 1.3 (double pecision) and not for >=1.3, so a GTX470 with 2.0 doesn't run.

I hate to bring this back again but now that the DB seems to be fixed ...



Other than 2 PM's I haven't received any others as requested. The ones I have received have been escalated but as Travis has stated previously, the science comes first. Travis is also still busy with his hands full with the new app.

Yeah once the new app is up and running I'll worry about removing credit from people.

Don't freak out when the 470 shows up on my credit tomorrow either.......

Why should anyone freak out, when you start using a cut down and artificially limited card (for double precision), which is probably not faster or even slower than a HD4770? I guess the performance on other projects (using SP or integers like Collatz) may be more interesting ;)


As I'm finding out! And to think I sold 2 4770's for this onslaught...that's ok - my 5850's upstairs are still rolling primarily in Milky

Regardless, I do want to at least try some on the 470 to give a fair comparison to it's ATI brethren upstairs. The primary driver for the purchase was indeed for the projects that are soley CUDA. However, it should be noted - that Milky's maturity from a programming standpoint is outstanding that it provides such a nice level playing field for both brands.

So with that in mind, I tried searching to see what I can do. My first couple did an immediate compute error (similar to ATI's after a CCC install), and I of course stopped it immediately.

I've looked in the DATA folder and it doesn't have the old familiar appinfo...and I'll readily admit I'm a CUDA noob. So is 470/480 totally out for now, or is there anything I can do? Are there similar tweak methods I can use on these CUDA apps, or is it more locked down.

Any modified executables with the compute capability requirement tweaked to allow to 2.0?

Feel free to use me as a guinea pig for Fermi if you like, I like this project!

Thanks in advance.

Gas Giant - Kylie-PC is me...it's my daughter's custom watercooled HTPC I built her. That's the above referenced 470. It is indeed real. Took 4 day's to get from CT to MA (where it was scanned in transit as of 4am Friday). Got it at noon today.

Edit 2 - No way I could pass up opening the package and crunching on it. Value be darned - I bet I can still get my full $349 back in 6 months if I wanted...or pretty close to it..there will be tons of crappy cards - but this one is in the sweet spot, and will be rare for quite some time I bet (like the 5850 was for months)...
