I just read through the postings for the preliminary benchmarks on nVidia cards and got the impression they are better Points / Investment wise.
the Gf9600GT isn't more expensive that the HD3870 and gets much better score. What have you found out?

64-bit support is fine, just not official. You need the 177.35 drivers, and if you don't have a GT200 card you need a modified .inf to make them work with older cards.

There's a thread called '64-bit workaround' in their forum, it details everything.

Vista64 here, running client 24/7 on an 8800GTX, it's utterly stable. Can play TF2, 720p movies, everything, no problem.

Just a heads up. The GPU2 client can run on other versions of drivers apart from the the one found in nVidia's CUDA site. I've been running on the client on 175.16 for more than 24hrs now and it runs fine.

Anyone have a handy chart or graphic that shows relative performance of a CPU (per core), GPU and PS3 folding power?
