Hi,
I don't know what really happened, but after a shortcut in my 1000W power supply, my two GTX cards are dead (GTX480 + GTX570) (of course, the power supply is dead too).
I have dried my eyes, replaced the power supply, and now starting to consider buying new cards.
So, why not switching to ATI cards ?
I have potential budget for two HD7950 cards, but I'm a bit afraid since I heard about ATI drivers instability under Linux (at least in the past).
I use Ubuntu as OS (10.04 TLS). Could someone advice me if it is a good configuration for GPU computing ? (including oclHashcat, of course)
Thank you very much.
