When I look at the box, and see the number of cores my CPU might have I also see the list of GPU's and it seems that they are associated with CPU cores.
Or is this kind of strange. In other words can I run one GPU per CPU core. I haven't bothered about this in the past, just getting 4 cores running was my ideal but now I'm going, hopefully, to add another box with another 4 cores and I noticed those GPU things.
Am I one the right track, and can I put a GPU off each CPU core or is this just a dream. It might be difficult to fit 4 GPU's in my existing box so where would I put them? And how would I connect them up???
I can't see anything useful to do with a computer, other than things like Seti, and muck about with card games, the rest is just crap, and pretty stinking crap at that, U Tube etc, so can I invest in GPU's to get more Seti moving.
I'm old and dumb so I'm sorry to have bothered you??

Hello Max,

The CPU feed the GPU from time to time and will eventually put together the ready WU. In very short description.
If the CPU is only using 0.25%, indeed it can do more.
When applying more graphic boards in a computer there is mostly need of a powerful power supply. Also must the mother board (MOBO) have enough slots to accept these crunching graphics boards. Most MOBO's can handle 2 of them, but 4 to 6 is possible but then you need an extended ATX MOBO and big case to fit all in. That wil become very expensive.
Keep in mind that it will use a lot of power, so your enery bill will rise, the box will become warmer (the room too) and makes more noise.

You can also add projects to crunch with the CPU only. I do that for Einstein@home and Rosetta@home for instance.

I hopes this helps a bit.
