You might want to mention that most of the NVidia GeForce cards are poor for double precision tasks, especially the Fermi cards.

Tesla's:
Tesla C2050 (515 gigaflops of double precision performance) 3GB


The Tesla C2050 costs something like EUR 2.000+ (not sure how much that in US Doller is) and in comparison to the latest ATI/AMD cards has relatively poor DP performance.

For example:
AMD 6950 costs something like EUR 200 and delivers 563 Gflops in DP!

No wonder that the top 20 computers all use AMD/ATI GPUs.



Wow thanks for that 2 year old review. LMAO!

NVIDIA is the best!
