Hi everybody,
i would like to start doing CUDA programming.
And i was thinking about graphics card NVIDIA GT 640,
because it is the only affordable card, that has compute capability of 3.5.
There are different companies selling video cards with this gpu-chip
the Gainward one, is listed as x8 2.0 but the Asus and Gigabite ones are x16 3.0.
The system has x16 2.0. they all should be ok.
i was just curious about the difference in performance due to the different bandwidth x8 vs x16? From other threads i understood that for games, and stuff there should not be to much difference, but how is that for cuda programmed linear algebra stuff. Any one some experience about how much of the available bandwidth that is using?
Thanks in advance for any helpfull commends.
