Has anyone managed to get an 8500GT running. If so, what kind of run times?

Sorry, not an 8500GT, but I did have (and occasionally still do run) a 8600GT on the project. It takes about 48hrs per WU.

It would probably be best to have at least 96 stream processors or more for running on this project. As 40+ hours is a long time to wait :shock:

I would avoid the 8400, far better off to spend a few quid more and get a card more capable of running the project.
