F@H's open beta for nVidia GPUs has begun. In the past 3 days, they've added roughly 2000 GPUs and 300 teraflops. If that is all from nVidia GPUs (as opposed to some of the teraflop increase coming from improvements to the ATI code), that means the average nVidia GPU is doing 150 gigaflops!

The new 4870 (and maybe 4850?) from ATI should be pretty powerful too (ATI is claiming 200 gigaflops of double precision, 1 teraflop of single precision)

Currently: 442 teraflops, 4021 GPUs (both ATI & nVidia), and rising.

With over 2 petaflops of processing power, I wonder how long it will take for them to have a breakthru with Alzheimer's?

like any other disease it wont be soon enough...i wish them luck....too bad we did not have those kind of numbers

nVidia also has a new series of GPU's (GeForce GTX 260/280) coming whose performance rivals the SLI setups of today. The die size is enormous; 1.4 billion transistors on a 65 nm process! AnandTech posted a lengthy review which has a short section on Folding@home.

Nvidia supports PhysX effort on ATI Radeon

You gotta love this industry. 12 days ago, we reported about a website making progress in getting Nvidia’s CUDA platform and PhysX to run on ATI Radeon cards, which Nvidia denied would be possible. Some even claimed that such a tool was a planned hoax. Now we are told that developer Eran Badit has not only been invited to join Nvidia’s developer program, but has also been offered hands-on help. Here is an update to a fascinating story that may soon bring PhysX support to your Radeon graphics card.

He also noted that he made progress getting his hands on a Radeon 4800 card and noted that his CUDA Radeon library is “almost done.” Badit said that “there are some issues that need to be addressed, since adding Radeon support in CUDA isn’t a big deal - but it’s not enough! We also need to add CUDA support on AMD’s driver level and its being addressed as we speak.”

At least right now it appears that one guy from Israel is changing the face of GPU-accelerated physics...
