I'm messing around with this big Desktop Tower I mentioned in the other thread and I have plenty of open slots and video cards. I'm very curious about the possibility of doing GPGPU or General Processing on GPU.
However, a lot of my research seems to suggest only specialized cards, especially with Nvidia CUDA, can do this. I just wondered if anyone has any experience with this concept.
For forum readers not sure what I'm talking about, GPGPU is supposed to be a method allowing you to harness all the cores in a GPU for parellel processing power with regular applications. A good example might be to speed up rendering video or 3D Graphics in Blender. I also wondered if this might possibly speed up virus scans with ClamAV.
Currently, I'm reviewing this page hoping to find out whether I can do this.
