GPU to 72 status... - Page 4

davieddy · 2011-12-06, 01:59

For some time I've thought that the future DC
saved shouldn't be valued as highly as the
initial LL.

OTOH, it has recently occurred to me that in practice
the typical fate of first time assignments is to get
returned unfinished about 4 times before they
get completed, thereby increasing "work" saved.

What kind is it? Any recent AMD or NVIDIA should be able to contribute.

I remember he posted in another thread; if memory serves it's a (really) old nVidia.

It is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 according to my device manager.

Wait till the first of the year, then you can get a lot of GPU for just a few bucks!!!

The good news is that you do support OpenCL 1.0! The bad news is that you have to have OpenCL 1.1 to use mfakto

I don't know why this is required, and would ask bdot why 1.0 is no good.

Apparently memory does not serve.

My Galaxy GTX440 was about $100 last June. I'm expecting some after-Christmas sales on not quite state of the art hardware that will include plenty fast GPUs....allowing you to pick up a decent one for a good price.

Hopefully that helps.

I'm surprised that all the GTX 460 cards at NewEgg are still that pricey. Cheapest one is $159.99 after rebate, free shipping. I guess I caught Microcenter in close out mode when I got mine at $99.95 after rebate. Still waiting on the rebate. This was a local purchase so I did have to pay a little over $10 in sales taxes.

I would concur in Christenson's expectation of post-holiday sale prices.

Maybe this beastie (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130626) would even get more affordable. Not that I would suggest it seriously. Dual GTX 460 SLI-on-a-card, minimum 46 amps on 12v. Worse, it looks sure to dump most of the heat inside the case. Bunch of hard luck stories in the reviews, too.

I don't know about what's there now, but the one I linked to I got for $149.99 (no rebate) way back in April.
