The Workstation-version W8100/W9100 cards offer good FP64 performance and include video outputs and built-in cooling fan, but are significantly more expensive. Two things to note with these, they are headless - no video connectors, so compute only. I just got my S9150 up and running, paid $340 shipped from ebay. 280X is around 1000 gflops for comparison. S9100/S9150 have the best price/performance ratio. You can pickup used Server-version FirePro cards for under $400 that have strong FP64.

do not compare old units and some "time" to todays units. That's left to prosumer or above cards like the Nvidia Titan Volta for $3k.įake results from khryl. All newer consumer cards from NV and AMD have poor FP64 performance including that maxwell 750Ti. The 7970/280x generation or any derivatives. Older AMD cards have better double precision, FP64. Doesn't seem like that's gonna get much better soon. Too bad modern amd graphics cards are pretty much all gone.
#I7 6700k gflops fp64 driver#
Didn't think I'd have reason to consider amd in the gpu slot (other than the driver interface looks pretty nice).
#I7 6700k gflops fp64 upgrade#
I have wanted to upgrade to an 8 core Ryzen.

I now have more respect for amd hardware. And so I came over here if there's anything about it. Yeah somewhere I just learned that amd cards have far more double precision compute power and that milkyway uses it. Modestly my evga 750ti superclocked at stock gets these done in 665 seconds with an i5-4460 running at stock 3.2 GHz (one core free) Ehh, the quick gratification getting 200 points in rapid succession is still nice. If milkyway desires double precision and my nvidia 750ti is pretty limited on that compared to amd cards maybe my card is better served serving other projects.
