Title: Other purpose for graphic cards than mining?
Post by: ijuststarted on December 14, 2013, 11:34:37 AM
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if there is someone who could tell me for what other GPU.intense applicatopns i could use some high-end AMD gfx cards?
I know that a lot of miners are selling them after a certain time... but which others applications could utilize multiple GPU units?

I am interested in Video Editing and Rendering (After Effects & Blender) but afaik the CPU is the most important thing here.

So? Looking forward hearing your comments :)

There is always folding@home if you feel like doing a little good in the world. Fold@home uses your GPU and CPU to simulate the folding of proteins( immensely complex) or more so the missfolding that happens in certain diseases. I have had my rig running it for a long time before coins came back into the spotlight.
