Re: Recommended nVidia card for cuda/opencl on FreeBSD?
On Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:37:28 +0200 Antonio Vieiro articulated: Would anyone on the list suggest a cheap nVidia replacement that can do cuda/opencl? Define cheap. Below USD$50 would be perfect, below USD$75 would be not-so perfect. Above that would be expensive just for experimentation.

I have a 9800GT (pretty cheap now-a-days + it runs modern games), which has the lowest CUDA 1.0. Also, I am interested in how you will do the work. Currently, it's necessary to run the CUDA SDK and Toolkit under Linux emulation or chroot, despite the fact that the NVIDIA drivers for FreeBSD include CUDA support. According to this, http://blogs.freebsdish.org/jhb/2010/07/20/using-cuda-with-the-native-freebsdamd64-nvidia-driver/, you still need to compile the CUDA apps under Linux, where the SDK is. Only after that you can run the binaries on FreeBSD. Since this is just for experimentation I imagine cuda 1.0 would do. The SDK on Linux is a non issue, I imagine.

I think what you mean is anything less than $75 would be acceptable; however, a price below $50 would be advantageous. I think you should be aware of the fact that you get what you pay for. Cheap, aka low end cards often work poorly. For a relatively few dollars more, a far superior card can usually be purchased. Whether or no FreeBSD can fully utilize a higher end device is another matter entirely. I have several PCs with high quality wireless N cards that FreeBSD doesn't have a clue about. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+f...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
