On the support of the calculations folding@Home using video card series radeon x1950/x1900 it was known already long time ago . during October the corresponding support was prescribed in the drivers catalyst 6.10. The drafters Of folding@Home promised to enlarge the enumeration of supported video card, after beginning from the family radeon x1800, and over the long term after reaching even GeForce 8800.
Associate yesterday reported that the developers added support Of video card radeon x1800 and Radeon x1600 into the sequential beta- version of the client program for the calculations folding@Home (version 5.91). In this case the developers emphasize that by the most productive in this type of the calculations still the chip r580, and all other graphical solutions from ATI aree noticeably inferior. For the owners of video card of families radeon Of x1600, Radeon x1800, Radeon x1900 and Radeon x1950 this is good possibility to accelerate the calculations without additional expenditures. Vdeo card radeon x1950 pro (RV570) thus far are not supported as Radeon x1650 XT (RV560).
Over the long term the calculations Of folding@Home can be done on the systems with several graphic chips like the systems with the support Of crossFire or three slots PCI express x16 on the motherboard. The advances of similar improvements is already present in the beta- version of client 5.91.
