Can it use my GPU to do work? I know of Folding@Home already.

Sure, there are other GPU projects - http://www.gpugrid.net/
but TechPowerUp is not involved as a team.

WCG thinks that it's not worth doing until they have research projects that want that capability. They have a problem with the cart-horse causality nexus I think.

I think GPU grid is your only bet if you want to keep it withing WCG grounds.

I didn't know that. you should have said more about it and i'm sure more people would have joined it also :slap:

points go to gpugrid and not wcg.

at the time i was having enough trouble getting stubborn folders to switch their cpus over to wcg.

i like the idea of the folders using there GPUs and crunchers using there CPUs it gets work done for both teams and causes.
