So I'm in the mist of doing upgrades to the pc's I'm running work on and need some direction here from you experts, so I have some questions and hope you can help answer them. In terms of doing work on Boinc projects which is better to use: Nvidia or AMD? If Nvidia, what should I be looking at when choosing a videocard, CUDA cores or CORE clock? If AMD, what should I be looking at when choosing a videocard, CORE clock or STREAM processors. And does video memory play a role with either card with projects? Like I said, I'm no expert but I'm learning :-) |

For all questions, the memory size and which brand is better depends on the project(s) you want to run on the GPU. Some are more geared towards Nvidia, others towards AMD. In all, the amount of processors on the GPU matter, the more there are the faster the GPU manages to run the work. |

Ok, thanks for the help. I will ask the admin for the specific project I'm running then. |
