hi, my question may sound a litte unusual. When I bought a new graphic card about 1 year ago, on purpose I took one with 2 GB Memory, just for BOINC grid computing (I am not a gamer). I have run a lot of tasks for GPUGRID since, some time ago these have been using memory close to 1 GB; in the past few months, the tasks have not been using more than just a few hundred MBs. Is there any project around which usually uses of a large part of a 2GB card memory?

Most of the ones I run, Seti@home, Milkyway@home, Einstein@home only use around 300MB of GPU memory. I know some people have set their cards up to run multiple WU's at once but my GPU runs well over 90% load with just one. I am using a 1GB Radeon 7750 as I think it is the most power efficient per teraflop that Radeon has made even to this day. Unless you want to get into the ones that draw 300watts for just the card. I was hoping to find some posts or comparisons to see what projects may make use of the 2GB.
