GPU Grid may or may not decide to do so ... Not sure how the Mac versions of the cards stack up with what is generally available for windows so our options may be limited for the near future ... I have an 8800 something in the Mac Pro I have and it looks like there is like only one Quadro card ... again, I am not sure how well they would do for GPU Grid ...

CUDA 2.0 is implemented on OS X. The 8800 GT in the macs works with CUDA. The GPUGrid client is not open source? I would like to contribute, if I could, but not being an expert, a porting task could a start. cheers, Dennis ID: 5480 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The GPUGrid client is not open source? It's still under heavy development, so it wouldn't make sense to publish the code. Not sure if this is planned later on, though.

Dennis, I was able to use my MBP video card to use by loading windows in bootcamp and installing the new nvidia drivers. Just my .02$ -Kevin ID: 5487 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
