SETI MB CUDA for Linux
sunu:
Unfortunately nothing is known at this time. A wild guess is that if/when it's done, it should be backwards compatible.

how does ati compare to nvidia for number crunching? faster / $ spent? slower?
xfx is giving me a hard time. they say they cannot fix my 285. they have no parts available. they have no replacements. so i told them ill take a 295. they dont have them either. they want to replace it with a 280 or 275 both of which chew more power/gflop than the top 2 do.
sunu:
It's sad that xfx has essentially quitted using nvidia and it's not their fault, it's nvidia's.
As far as I know ATI has many problems in linux, not to mention it's completely useless for seti@home.
What problem does your card have?
A 285GTX is a 280GTX with a smaller process and higher clocks. Nothing else.
If xfx gives you an ATI, especially a 5xxx card, you could sell it and buy something else. Likewise with a 280GTX. They will be new (not used), so you'll be able to get a higher price from them. You'll have to find out which card will give you the biggest return.

the second video port will no longer go to 1920x1200 resolution. it maxes out at 1600x1200 which is useless to me. the reason i am not liking the 280 is it is a power hog for its performance plus it is not a 200b gpu. the 275 is better.. it is a 200b but still draws more power than the 285 does... if anything i would want a 295 replacement. if they cannot or will not do that then i would settle for the 275 since it performs better than the 280 and draws power in the middle between the 280 and 285. i just dont like the fact that if they cannot actually do a 'board repair' on it, i have to possibly settle for less than the flagship single gpu product i paid good money for. i am finding out lifetime warranties are almost useless after 'end of life' of the product. with my luck they will only offer a fermi product in which case i will demand the flagship 480 which is equivalent to my 'flagship' 285.
sunu:
Have you made sure that it isn't some strange software problem and not a hardware problem?
