	Just as information. I did a Nathan long run on the old GTX285. It took 27.72 hours with 59000 credits. The newer (but less better) GTX550Ti did also a Nathan LR (same type) and took only 14.7 hours with 70800 credits. I have read that the GTX285 is not very good for the new cuda4.2 app. That is true as I see that the cuda3.1 WU's are almost 3 times faster done on the GTX285 then the GTX550Ti. ____________ Greetings from TJ

By using Windows XP Pro, my GTX 275 will do one these WU in less than 15.5 hours.

	strange, technical there is not much difference between 275 and 285 the biggest one is opengl 2.1 on 285gtx vs 3.0 on 275. the rest is "minimal" difference. ____________ DSKAG Austria Research Team: http://www.research.dskag.at
