What can I do with my nvidia GPU?
Hi,
I'm running prime95 in hopes of finding a large prime number, here are my specs: Intel SP9400 (2.4ghz, 6mb l2 cache, overclocked to 3.06ghz, mobile CPU). Nvidia quadro FX 3700m (mobile GPU). 2gb ram (going to upgrade to 4gb in a week). Is there anything that is like prime95 but for my GPU? Something that will help me find a 100 million digit prime number faster? |

Thanks, but I'm a noob with this stuff, I don't understand exactly what I should download and run.
I need something simple like prime95, will that ever have support for CUDA? |

Right now you won't be able to do anything to contribute to GIMPS with your GPU unless you're willing to do software-developer-type stuff and manually reserve your numbers to test. |

So let's remember that with your setup you can still contribute and potentially find a 10^11digit prime while using your hardware for gaming or fiddling with graphics or whatever it is that you got it for. |
