I think it would be a good idea to make a list from all suitable graphics cards, and make it sticky.
We crunchers can give the input and a moderator makes a list, and keeps it up to date, sticky as well but not editable by us.

I have looked in all reports but could not find an easy overview. That is why I got this idea.

(A graphic board is broken and I need a new one, but that must be a nVidia that can crunch for GPUGRID.)

RZ, you beat me to it! :D However, is it time for an update to that list?

Yes, the GTX 670, GTX 680, GTX 690 will be supported (hopefully) in a couple of days.

I have made an entry regarding the GTX690, 680 and 670.
These will no doubt be 'fully' added in due course (soon I hope).
Feel free to PM me when you start returning tasks from these cards.
TIA,

Thanks, I have bought an 550Ti, because it must fit in a pc with a 420W power supply and al 4 year old MOBO.
It is working for Einstein@home, but little slower than my GTX285 in another pc.
I will start to crunch for GPUGRID today and see how that goes.

Well I got 10 ACEMD beta versions and they all errored out om my 550Ti card. So I set that I don't want test applications and now I got a long run, says about 23 hours to finish. It is running for 10 minutes. I see tomorrow if that errors as well.

The first long run on my new GTX 550Ti is ready, it took more than 32 hours to complete, so this is not the best card for long runs. It is now crunching a normal run. Estimated time 11.3 hours.

My old GTX 285 is almost two times faster for both type of WU. So new isn't always better...

You replaced a card with 240 shaders by one with 192 shaders, of which GPU-Grid can effectively use 128. No wonder it's slower now (although probably still mor energy efficient). The remaining difference in timing is related to the different architectures and clock speeds.

No I didn't replace the GTX285 its still crunching GPUGRID, the 550Ti replaced another card in another PC, that was not able for CUDA a GT8600 if I remeber correct. But thanks for the info.
