Zotac GT 430 PCI slot GPU info

[circeseye]

he also has the 430's

Well, the point was the 430 was the best PCI card available. The link you got here is for a PCIe card. Plenty of better options for low power PCIe cards. But those of us still keeping systems without PCIe limping along were happy to have found an option better than a 8800GT.

What about the ZOTAC ZT-60604-10L GeForce GT 610 (Link)?

Edit: nm, half the cores of the 430. Boooooo.

Found some refurbished ZOTAC ZT-40605-10L GeForce GT 430s (Here), priced the same as new IIRC

so is this still the best pci card u can get at a pretty cheap price?

I picked up a socket 775 motherboard with an albatron ti4600, and well i've been shopping for agp cards on ebay/Craigslist to replace it but I think you might be on to something... I have 3 open pci slots and temps are going to be an issue this summer. I think a PCI card for that machine and a 750ti for this one.


Also I'd like to mention the gt 430 has double precision, while a lot of cards in its power or performance class don't.

Yep nothing faster has been made for a standard PCI slot yet, and at this point probably never will.

@MindCrime: Yes the 430 has DP, but it would be so excruciatingly slow you'll be better off pretending it doesn't. If you're looking for DP, buy AMD, not Nvidia

thanks going to order up 2 of them today

[dave c]

so my cards will be here in a day , what projects are u guys using these to crunch for?
currently im only doing seti and collatz if they work out well i may pick up a few more as i have a bunch of pci only machines

[John P. Myers]

They're good for Collatz. Decent points there. Much more than Seti@home pays. Plus we've got a competition in Collatz starting soon anyway

[dave c]

good to know , once i see how well they do maybe ill have to help out with the compitetion.
btw how many cards can u stick in one machine before it slows them down due to the pci bus
