Message 37582 Posted 25 Apr 2011 by tetley |
I have a friend who is quite involved with BOINC and we're putting together another computer for him. His other systems already run the CUDA projects and he's looking to increase what this additional computer will complete in the number of units and projects in the quickest amount of time etc. I am not overly familiar with boinc but was looking for advice on which GPU set-up someone would suggest between the following: 1 x Nvidia Tesla C2070 (cost roughly $4000) or 4 x Nvidia GTX 580 Liquid Cooled (cost roughly $700/ea) This computer would only be used for boinc and not for any other tasks like gaming, email, web surfing etc. It will essentially be running boinc 24/7. Of the set-up above, which one would provide the best set-up for him to achieve what he wants to achieve? I know there may be other alternatives and so forth and costs may vary but as I said, it is just a rough estimate so you know the rough budget involved. Basically, I am hoping to get an understanding of what set-up will do the most units (could someone provide an estimate of what each would achieve?) but also be stable and so forth. Thanks. |
