Folding@Home Finally Coming For NVIDIA GeForce Video Cards

[Chierin]

It has been over a year since ATI got into the Folding@home project and it seems that the time is right for NVIDIA to join in! Mr. Vijay Pande himself was in San Jose today and we managed to catch up with him while he was giving the presentation on behalf of Stanford University on how folding is going to work on NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards. This is a must read if you are interested in distributed computing.

Wow I cant wait to try this. Does anyone know if you can run the CPU and the GPU client at the same time or will the gpu client be dependent on the cpu as well.

I think it might be dependent on at least one core. I guess we'll know soon enough.

I've also read about this on the net. Will be interesting for me to see if I can use my old nVidia Geforce7800GS with Folding@home. Maybe they are only aiming at newer nVidia cards? What do you think?
