Zotac GT 430 PCI slot GPU info

[kaptainkarl1]

Yes it is. I purchased one in March got the rebate. Purchased two in April got the rebate on both and will be purchasing 1 maybe two more now that they have a new rebate for May. So hook it up while you can they are awesome little crunchers.

So you guys are just loading (older?) rigs up with these, I mean rigs that only have PCI slots in them? What kind of output are they giving / day?
Would be interesting to do a credits / $ and Credits / watt ratio to see about these...

What kind of output are they giving / day?

I am seeing roughly 70k/day with mine in a P4 (no hyperthreading) box. Had to update ncpus to 2 in order to still allow computing on the CPU as well since Dirt takes up 70% of a cpu.

Thanks for that info. I'll throw that into my spreadsheet I've done with the various cards and see how it stacks up credits /$ and /watt wise.

Only other thing - do you think that older P4 CPU is starving the GPU any when you crunch CPU tasks on it, or does the GPU % utilization stay pretty high still?
Thanks.

I'll have to check that out. Haven't looked since I updated the ncpus. Initially it was not running an CPU tasks at all because of the 70% cpu usage. Might have to try it out on other Nvidia gpu projects as well.

Yeah any available PCI slot. It is an easy way to grab some quick credits without overloading a PSU and having to engineer anything. I have two of these in a Dual Core AMD plus an old 9500 until I nab a better card. I am not able to do any CPU computing and am waiting for some ram to arrive for the machine and then I will update you on the credits.

What is the best way to calculate the credits for this host? Boinc Stats shows all sorts of crazy numbers for the host so I am not certain it would be accurate.

I only see it for the PCI Express versions, not the PCI version.

Newegg: $69.99 + 6.98 S/H

CompUSA/TigerDirect: $74.99 + ??? S/H (Before $20.00 MIR)

Newegg: $69.99 + 6.98 S/H

CompUSA/TigerDirect: $74.99 + ??? S/H (Before $20.00 MIR)

Funny to see CompUSA has the card (with the PCI part number) filed under PCI Express 2.0 cards with 1 Gb or more RAM, but even the description says PCI and only 512 Meg...

Just curious how much that shipping actually works out to for me...

Shout out to Dr. Pop

What can I do with this: HP Pavillion 64 x2 Dual core 4600+ 2.41ghz with 2 gb of ram. I already slammed a Zotac PCI in there and have room for 1 more and a PCIe 16 slot open as well.

It sure sounds like someone has caught the crunching bug!
