I've been looking at the new GPU clients so I can try to boost my PPD !
I don't have much to spend, but it seems the GPU clients are doing very well and would perform better than the SMP client or running two instances of the console client. So my questions are:
1. Which GPU would perform better, the ATI 3450 or nVidia 8400gs?
2. Does memory size on the video card have a major impact on performance.
3. Can I continue to run the graphical client on the CPU and run the GPU client or should I change to the console client for the CPU?
The machine I'm going to use for this has an Athlon 64 X2 running at 2.2 GHz with 2GB of RAM running XP SP3. Currently, I can get a really good deal on the 3450.
