I see the C1060 is listed as a supported card. | |

Poorly I would imagine however, if you have one spare using it as a second in a system is a good move. | |

I think tasks are still sent to the system rather than to specific cards, so putting a C1060 along side a GTX 480 would be a bad move. The C1060 is Compute Capable (CC) 1.3, so it should work along with any other CC1.3 card. Things have changed since this post in so much as CC1.3 cards now crunch CUDA 3.0 tasks and CC2.x cards (Fermi's) crunch CUDA 3.1 tasks. | |

Tesla C1060 is a chip from the last generation (GT200). Don't bother, except you've got a spare one anyway. | |

Sorry, I should have said it was 'what if'. (I don't have a c1060) | |

Exactly, certainly not for you & GPU-Grid. | |

Tesla cards are not for BOINC. You will get FAR more bang for your buck using standard gaming cards. Of course if you already have a Tesla workstation you use in professional applications then by all means you can run BOINC on it, but the high level features like ECC and threading would be more or less wasted on this software. | |
