Your OEM appears to wish to upsell you a Tesla.
Hi all,
I am planning to buy a GTX680/GTX580 card to accelerate the calculation of
AMBER11. The following is the hardware information of my workstation.
Motherboard: ASUS Z8PE-D12X
CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5690 . 3.47GHz (12 cores) (Max TDP: 130W
each CPU)
Slot: 1 x16 PCI-E available
Memory: 24 GB
Power: 1200W
The seller told me that the motherboard is a server model rather than
workstation and thus does not support GTX580/GTX680 well and the
performance of the GPU could only be achieved 50% maybe. I have gone to the
official websites of ASUS and I am wondering what the seller said.
Here are two questions:
1. Could my workstation 100% support GTX580/GTX680 ?
2. As I am using AMBER11, which card is better for AMBER11 on acceleration?
GTX680 or GTX580? Maybe you can recommend me another card.
Thanks and happy new year!
