Can someone recommend a good video card to use with CentOS 6.6 that has a GPU, or two, or more, that will work with the Folding At Home project.
I built a killer machine primarily for contributing to the FAH effort but the video card, NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT], I had on hand is not getting any assignments. I'm using the proprietary NVIDIA driver. I've got a pcie 16X socket to plug it into.
The underwelming response to my question leaves me wondering:
Am I to gather that there are no CentOS FAH users here?
or
Am I to understand that none of the CentOS FAH users have a GPU that works with FAH?
Yes, I'm a Centos Folder. I'm one of 3 or 4 currently active on Team Centos
However, I've been unable to get GPU folding working, so I just dedicate all six cores to it.
You may want to ask your original question on the forums at the FAH site, also.

Hey Fred,
Thanks for the tip. I googled the FAH Hardware Forum. They recommend the NVIDIA 970 or 960 as their first choice.
True. but it "should" work on Fermi chipsets or later, and it doesn't for me. I may well have a configuration problem, but I drew the line at butchering my system configuration to find out, this is my personal workstation, at home, and I don't wanna break it.
(it tries, and tries, and tries to fold but takes some error or other, backs off, tries again, and again, and again.)
