Does anyone know if this will work with an sli setup? I am currently running two 560 ti's.

If my information is not outdated... and seti is any indicator... you must have SLI turned off so both cards can crunch... But my info is pretty old and I dont have any dual+ card rigs

By the way, is there a certain download that we have to make to have the GPU start to process tasks or does this automatically happen?

Where would we be able to see this (the GPU at work and crunching tasks)?

If you will, can you take a moment to walk us through?

Thanks, Slava

Nice breakthrough. It's convinced me to throw my old P4 back into the fray. I'm not sure how much she'll churn out, and it will only run when not in use. It is nice to be running multiple processes again. Yes, I am overdue for a new build...

With my one GTX 560 i have seen my points gained double for the 1 day of gpu crunching so far... I wonder how long it will take to level out...

Rig:
AMDFX 4100 @ 4.32Ghz
8GB ram
GTX 560 driver 301.42

..just a lil thank you - to all posting info for the team

I've been watching/reading/observing... and this is very exciting stuff.

I see MgKnight , Bob Sanchez , WLiley , JMartin , Old_Grouch and danny9 amongst others...

...just smiling down on us and nodding their heads...this will - indeed (as David so appropriately said earlier) ... be a game changer.

We'll need to incorporate some of this into our FAQ, so I hope anyone with desire to assist will please do so..

All the GPU units I've received have ended up with computation error. Any chance I'm doing something wrong? The list of unsupported GPU's list Geforce GT 420... I'm running a 430... Is the entire 4xx series toast or is it something else?

Just a heads up for anyone using Windows XP. If you're using or planning on getting an ATI card do not use any driver version above 11.8. Seems there is no APP SDK support for XP in drivers above version 11.8 and without that runtime package your GPU will not run the tasks. If needed you can find the drivers here.
