    Tesla M2090 for physics?

    Supports NVIDIA PhysX acceleration on all GeForce 9‑series, and 100‑series to 900‑series GPUs with a minimum of 256MB dedicated graphics memory. The M2090 has the the Fermi GPU. I'm going to have to give it a shot once I get the power cables in and do a little testing I'll...

    Tesla M2090 for physics?

    Well that would figure. I suppose I can use it for folding@home then I suppose.

    Tesla M2090 for physics?

    I have a GTX680, can I use a Tesla M2090 as a dedicated physics card in games? How well do you think it will work? Yes I have some fans to zip tie to the heatsink.

    ASUS and RMAs (Just how long does it take?)

    Well well well it seems that there is a happy ending to this story. I got a new card in just last night 12-04-13. I'm glad that ASUS has decided to exchange the card. While not the greatest warranty experience ever it has at least concluded with me receiving a working replacement. Well I...

    ASUS and RMAs (Just how long does it take?)

    After making enough noise I have a rep that is sending me a shipping label to RMA it. I reattached the heat sink to the card and will be shipping it back. I'm just glad I was able to find the card. I could have sworn I had tossed it. There is just too much hoarder in me to toss anything away.

    ASUS and RMAs (Just how long does it take?)

    Well the response that I got from upper management is pretty much what I thought it would be. In any case while I was going through my basement I did happen to find the card I thought I had tossed but I had removed the heat sink to try and use it on another card but the holes were off just a...

    ASUS and RMAs (Just how long does it take?)

    Well, nothing from management. I guess from now on when teaching classes and giving advice I'll let them all know what to expect from Asus.

    ASUS and RMAs (Just how long does it take?)

    So far nothing from the people up the food chain.

    ASUS and RMAs (Just how long does it take?)

    It takes more than a year and a half to hear back from them. Back on 2-20-2012 (like the date?), I filed a RMA on a Graphic Card ENGT240 Series. After not hearing from them or getting any e-mails after filling out the form I checked my spam bin found it empty and called them. After being on...

    Can additional memory be forced to cache?

    I don't care about the boot time of my computer; it could be 30 minutes for all I care. However when changing instances I do care. I hate every pause that a game makes. This is most noticeable if it has to load textures when entering a town. From what I have observed there is a ton of...

    Can additional memory be forced to cache?

    I have to disagree. There is a performance difference when the game is loaded into RAM on a RAM drive. If you want I can load a game on to the RAM drive. I remember that there was a way to force smartdrv to load all of a directory into memory if you had the space. When I have time I'll post...

    Can additional memory be forced to cache?

    I have 16gb of ram in two of my systems and I was wondering if there is a way in Windows 7 or 8 (one each) to force the system to use more memory for disk caching. Now I have setup a ram drive with the ASRock software and flipped to it full caching of temp and swap files however that isn't what...
