<p>Hallo Franz,</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Freitag, 21. November 2008, meintest Du:</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>FM> That's simply not true. Every newer card from NVidia (that is, every</span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>FM> G200-based card, right now, GTX260, GTX260-216 and GTX280) supports DP,</span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>FM> and nothing indicates that NV will remove support in future cards, quite</span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>FM> the contrary.</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>FM> The distinction between Tesla and GeForce cards is that the former have</span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>FM> no display output, they usually have more ram, and (but I'm not sure</span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>FM> about this one) they are clocked a little lower.</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Don't forget that Teslas have ECC-RAM. Normal Graphic cards don't care about flipped memory bits. That does not count when processing DirectX or OpenGL - but it does for computation. So a highend GPU can miscalculate...</p>
