I'm still trying to find out what recommended Nvidia boards or ATI boards will fit either of my desktops by some means other than paying for both the boards and the service of installing them before finding out if they will fit at all; that still appears to be the best method available locally. I'm no longer able to handle the installation work by myself.

What cases/ cards are you thinking about?
We should be able to determine from specs on the cases and the cards if they will fit and we can also see if we can find someone who has already tried the same case/ card configuration to confirm.

If HP says just what cases they're using, they make that information hidden well enough that I haven't found it yet. I'm no longer able to move them well enough to inspect the cases for case model numbers.

Model numbers for the whole computers are SR5125CL and d5200t, though.

I haven't chosen the GPU cards yet, so I'm interested in any that both fit and are able to run GPUGRID.

robertmiles,
I still think the safe bet is the GT 240, as they do not require any additional power connectors, and are quite short in length.
If you are interested in an ATI card, I would suggest you wait until several have been reviewed here - then you will know which cards actually work well enough to be considered.

So far, we still strongly suggest to wait for the Fermi-based Nvidia cards.
This is most certainly the fastest card.

Even faster then HD5970?

could you give us an idea of the performance from these new clients? specifically performance of 5870. or is it too early to tell?

Model numbers for the whole computers are SR5125CL and d5200t

I took a look around the internet and found an interior picture of the d520t. The HP spec says it is an ATX size motherbpard and the picture shows no obstruction for the full with from the PCI-E slot to the edge of the board (being a full tower the HDD cage is not in the way from what I can see) so I think a full size card would fit fine. I will try looking again, maybe even find someone with the same case. We can always try calling HP and see if they will tell us what the exact layout is.
I'll post back as soon as I have anything to report.

we'll see how much NV faster then ATI 2morrow on CES :-)

You will not see any new grafik card from NV on CES. They don't have it now on CES. But they say it is in production now. You have to wait until March.

Waiting is nice thing, but in March My Radeon HD5870 will be 6 month baby :)

So after six month's nvidia will relased - must relased faster card...

Hi I have 5840 ati gpu

on win 7 64bit ver.

On main bainc page I can see that I can run this project, but here there is no info how to do it.

My boinc manager 6.10.18 says

2010-01-10 16:37:35 GPUGRID Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
2010-01-10 16:37:35 GPUGRID Message from server: No work sent
2010-01-10 16:37:35 GPUGRID Message from server: Your computer has no NVIDIA GPU


What can I do about it?????

my card is 5870

I just thought of yet another option even more relevant to this thread, possibly helped by recently finding the web site of a nearby company likely to offer any home installation services needed: Are there any HD58xx cards likely to be suitable for the power supply the SR5125CL already has, and also likely to fit?

Also, is GPUGRID interested in offering participants with more than one computer the option of accepting beta work on some machines, but not others, and possibly even setting the share of GPUGRID GPU use differently on those different machines?

Today we start to perform local performance tests on ATI.
A new nvidia beta application should come out in a couple of days as well.

thank You for info

pls keep us posted :-)

where I can read about nvidia beta application?

If you have a new 5870 ATI GPUs please accept beta work from us, in the following days we will try to upload a new ATI application.

gdf

Where are any instructions on how to accept beta work? Or is arranged in such a way that no instructions are needed?

Your project preferences page, change "Run test applications?" from 'no' to 'yes'.

\but i have Ati 5870 and i have accept beta work , there is no samples????
or should I also mark nvidia in settings??

On linux,
the new driver simply hangs the machine as soon as it runs.
Also, the driver seems to be still beta (at least for linux) reporting a "for testing only".

We shall try under Windows.
