2) Message boards : Number crunching : Support for Single Precision ATI cards (Message 37063) Posted 8 Mar 2010 by Frizz23 Post: Some apps were written and decided they weren't as good and weren't used. Of course it is possible to write SP code that computes the same results as DP code - it's just 2-4 times slower than native DP code. But still a, for example, ATI 5770 with 800 shaders, would be much much faster than every CPU - even with SP. Since more and more people are using those 5xxx ATI cards (because they are really good value for money, because of Nvidias "drama" with the Fermi, etc.) it would be unwise to not support them.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Support for Single Precision ATI cards (Message 37046) Posted 8 Mar 2010 by Frizz23 Post: Hi there, I was wondering if it is planned to support Single Precision ATI cards (cards based on the RV810, RV830 or RV840 chip). Since all new ATI cards (except the High-End ones) lack Double Precision it would be a good idea to write code supporting Single Precision. IMHO. Because if you don't, you miss out on almost all the new ATI cards being sold these days - since most people go for the 5770 (because of it's really good price-performance ratio). Regards, F.
