[AMBER] about GPU memory requirements

Dear AMBER community,

Is there any other advantage of having a GPU with big memory apart from the
maximum system size it can endure?

http://ambermd.org/gpus/#supported_gpus

I am not sure if it's worth running replica exchange on a single GPU if no
sufficient CPU resources are available. For example, if I have a single
workstation with an i7 processor (8 threads) and a GTX 680 2GB will it be
much faster running 8 replicas of Hamiltonian Replica Exchnage on the GPU
for a system of <100 K atoms? Will I be able to use more replicas if the
GPU has 4 GB of memory?

thanks,
Thomas


PS: Btw, if anyone sells any good-performing GPU in good condition please
contact me privately.
