Folding@Home using the GeForce GPUs

 Folding at home is a project where you can have your GPU or CPU (when the PC is not used) help out solving diseases by folding proteins. Over the past 12 months a lot of progress has been made between the two parties involved. And right now there is a beta folding client available that works with GeForce Series 8, 9 and GTX 200 / 400 / 500 graphics processors. It is CUDA based... meaning that all CUDA ready GPUs can start folding.

Guru3D team is ranking in the Folding@Home top 70, yes... I'm very proud of our guys crunching these numbers, especially since there are tens of thousands of other teams.

The client is out, if possible please join team Guru3D and let's fold away some nasty stuff. The good thing is, you won't even notice that it's running.

Our Folding@Home info can be found here:

  • Team Guru3D Homepage
  • Team Guru3D support forums
  • GPU2 -> GPU3 Transition Guide For Windows + Link To Linux

Our team number is 69411 and if you decide to purchase a GeForce GTX 200 / 400 / 500 product, guys, promise me you'll use it to fold for us. Of course I recommend all GeForce 8800 / 9800 owners give this a try as well. By making this move my dear friends, there are now 70 million GPUs available to compute the biggest mysteries in diseases and illnesses. Again, let's make Team Guru3D the biggest one available guys, join our team.

NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround

Along with the Series 400 and 500 GPUs also comes a technology called NVIDIA 3D Surround -- which is supported by their latest GeForce Forceware drivers (download here).

3D Vision Surround allows you to play on three 3D displays simultaneously, and span your entire game across all three panels for a very immersive, rocking 3D environment. Of course, an idea carefully borrowed from ATI (Eyefinity) with the addition of the 3D Stereo part that is. Would ATI not have introduced Eyefinity, then NVIDIA would have never tried to integrate this technology. So who doesn't love competition?

First off, you can also use this Surround technology in 2D mode too -- 3D Stereo with goggles is really not a requirement.

3D Vision Surround was officially launched alongside the GeForce GTX 470/480 release. There is however good news for GeForce GTX 260, 275, 280, 285 and 295 owners. 3D Vision Surround will be supported on that series as well, all you'll need is a driver update, two cards and three monitors. Preferably with a 3D Vision kit of course.

So to recap: 3D Vision Surround offers 3D Vision support spanned across three displays, effectively allowing you to run three 3D displays simultaneously.

We mentioned this a paragraph or two ago already, there is a downside alright. SLI will be a requirement as the cards can only cope with 2 DVI outputs. So yes, two cards set up in SLI are a requirement, making gaming on three monitors definitely an expensive thing to accomplish. But granted, it really is a heck of a lot of fun though.

GeForce GTX series 400
 3D Surround Stereo with three monitors

NVIDIA will include software controls for bezel correction allowing you to compensate for monitor bezel gaps. So to recap once more, NVIDIA 3D Surround is a derivative, much like ATI Eyefinity, which will also work with three monitors; surround vision with the 3D goggles is not a requirement, an SLI setup with series 400 / 500 cards however is.
