Will The Zotac GT 430 PCI slot GPU Work With Einstein?
Specifically, i'm talking about this card here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500221
I hope to plug two of these into my father's old Pentium 4 computer, by the end of next month. :cool:
However, I will only do this if the Zotac GT 430 can crunch Einstein.

Well kaptainkarl1 has several of these, see (here) and Crazybob's Son has one, see (here). Maybe PM them and ask how the card does on Einstein.
BTW, Amazon has the same card with free shipping ---> http://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-.../dp/B00558MS1G

Yes, please test. Those CUDA drivers took me awhile to figure out as well.
Could you also share with us the operating system that you are using with this computer too? ;)

It is running windows XP home. I am still burning through Simap wus on this rig so a test may take a couple days to get done. Of course the the rig in question is the only one that still has Simap wus left on it.
Are they still doing the 20 dollar rebate on the GPUs?
Re: Will The Zotac GT 430 PCI slot GPU Work With Einstein?
Here is the scoop. Yes it will run Einstein. However it runs them pretty slow. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Einstein must be intensive on the GPUs ram as I have a Zotac 430 GT PCI-e with 2048 MB of Ram and it is running 10x faster than the PCI version which only has 512 MB of Ram. I am not running any optimized app or anything.
I have 2 PCI and 1 PCIe in the same rig and have dedicated a core to them for running the Einstein as they are grabbing .20 CPU per card to run it.
I hope this helps. If you want any other information or want me to test them in a different configuration just let me know.

Most helpful.
I will begin buying these cards and placing them in my father's PC.
As they are installed, I will try to post updates to this thread about my findings.

Is it safe to assume that the GPU runs they way faster than CPU? Just thinking of something to do to increase standings at Einstein.
