I know Milkyway is double precision for GPUs. Any other projects? I'm looking for a secondary project to run when Milkyway doesn't have tasks available, and would prefer one that's double precision, as I have two new cards coming that are very good at it.

I don't know, but Milkyway, Einstein, Seti, and moo! always have jobs available, and are most widely supported.
Perhaps checking each project, if they support a variety of hardware, and asking on those forums, will get you closer to your answer?
Then you can update us all here, because I also would like to know the answer.

As far as I know, the only project requiring double precision floating point is Milkyway. All of the others run single precision float only.

Some projects, like the collatz, might show high numbers, but might still be single precision.
