Good day,

recently I've changed my R7 240 with an GTX 760 192 bit.
Run now seti and all of nvidia projects.

On wiki saw that 760 can do 79 gflops on double precision.

It compute well. No problems.

R7 240 can do 29 gflops.

What is your opinion on this matter ?
Bored to compute with no feedback or moral support. My friends are not agreed with me regarding BOINC.

I don't know about the graphics card part, but feedback and moral support are more a project related thing, and not here on the BOINC boards.
As for your friends, are they even interested in science, or, like a lot of people, just sports and drinking? You may need to find out / get them interested in science first.

None of my friends outside in the real world are interested in BOINC either, however you can talk to other BOINC enthusiasts on the project forums.

You could also join a team.

I joined a team earlier this year which has a forum where you can talk to other members. It has definitely made crunching more interesting.

I hope you keep going with it. There are lots of great projects doing important research and I'm sure they appreciate your contribution.

I have some GTX760 GPUs as well, I haven't had any problems with them either.

2 sites that I have found useful for comparing graphics cards are ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units

and ..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units

Some project applications use double precision, while others use single precision, so it depends on which project you're crunching for as to which is most important.

Your new GPU can do more GFLOPS in both single and double precision than your old one so you should see an improvement in the time it takes you to complete workunits.

Yes, indeed, it makes more GFLOPS.

I have been reading from MilkyWay@home site.

Only now, since 5 years, can do tasks on gpu for milkyway and it's cruncing realy quick. 2 or 8 minutes.

I had a laptop with 310m, single precision, so milky was running only on cpu.

This 3D map of the galaxy, facinate me.
