Re: Fails to download core
Or does it have a 6-pin connector? That can supplement the 75 W from the PCIe slot with another 75 W.

Re: Fails to download core
no connector at all
Re: Fails to download core
The core already exists, but he scientists are not creating new projects to run on it. Everybody is working on increasingly complex proteins demanding additional analytical capabilities ... and they want their projects to finish within a reasonable number of months rather than a number of years (or longer).Bo_Herrmannsen wrote:Why not keep using it? granted i assume that the reason is that it will be very slow etc etc.... But cant the core for it be made so we can still use it ?
Just trashing hardware because its old is sad
The hardware is not trash... it just isn't sufficient for the type of research that FAH does.
By the way, each new generation of GPUs gets more work done for the same amount of electricity (or just plain uses less).
