HIS IceQ X1600Pro

[ddrueding]

PCI-Express X1600Pro card with IceQ cooling

Well loved but fully functional. Card only.

Best offer? Might throw it in with one of the other things I put up.

Does this thing work for F@H?

 

[ddrueding]

Pretty sure it would. I'm not an F@H guy, so I can't say for sure. The IceQ system works very well and is quiet, so I suspect 24/7 loading at 100% would be quite possible. I've even hooked up a Zalman fanmate to it in the past to make it even quieter.

Looks like a yes...

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GPU and OS support
Which cards are supported?
We now support serveral classes of GPU boards, including X1600, X1800, and X1900 class GPU's from ATI. At the launch, we supported X1900 cards only. X1800 cards do not provide the performance seen in X1900's and so we strongly recommend X1900 class cards (although we now officially support X1800). X1900 and X1800 cards are actually quite different -- they have different processors (R520, R530 vs. the R580 [in the X1900 series]). The R580 makes a huge difference in performance -- its 48 pixel shaders are key, as we use pixel shaders for our computations. Also note that the card should have more than 256MB (i.e. at least 512MB) of RAM, otherwise the GPU client will put a huge load on the client machine (although we do note that the 256MB X1950Pro using PCIe does work reasonably well).

Yes, but it won't be a big point producer. It should get around 200PPD but since you also have to dedicate a full core to run it, you should deduct what the CPU would produce anyway.

As an example, my 4600+ X2 would normally produce about 150PPD for each core for a total of 300PPD. If I ran the card it would produce 200 for the GPU and only 150 for the CPU producing 350PPD. So, with this senerio, effectively, I would only be getting an extra 50PPD for the card.
