I currently have a 5970 and 2x 5870s running DNET
I currently have 3x460s running Dirt

Last BS (last day) update states:
DNET: 861,951.00
DiRT: 918,000.00

Just thought ya'll should know. I DO have the 5970 set to suspend work while in use (my work computer) and I was on it almost all day yesterday, but it does indicate that Dirt is one of THE highest paying CUDA projects around at the moment. Up with PG PPS (Sieve) when the credits were still at 4k+ per WU.

That's sweet! Nice to see we will get some bang for the buck on our CUDA investments yet. :)

Now if we only knew how long the project will last, it may be worth it to look into that 590 card I had my eye on.

I agree.

I was not looking at the 590 (A little out of my budget :(( ) but was looking at getting another 570 but feel the same way you do about the longevity of this project. I think it's more likely that someone will call Dirt and tell them to cut it back. X_X

@Yo- perhaps a little diplomatic private message to one of the admins at DiRT could net you some important info? :D Like, simply explain that you're feeling your oats to get a very expensive CUDA card, but you don't want to commit if they (the project admins) feel this will be short lived. Explain that you already bought one for PG, and then that is tanking, hence your current concern.
It would be quite interesting to see what they reply with. ;)
