    It seems to me that you have 2 choices. Either take the card back or run Collatz. The only other project that will use it is GPUGrid but that is with a beta application. I would return the card and wait for a 58xx series card.

    To find out what works is mostly done by reading the message boards on the projects. First check to see if there is even an application (in this case ati) then read everything you can about it.

    The alternative is to take the easy way out and just ask me.

    4850s will get you about 50,000 a day on Milkyway but I would try to get 4890s. They are not much more expensive and use about the same power and they will get 90,000 to 100,000 credits a day each.


    Actually it's 38s, 48s, and 58s at the monent. Here is a little known tidbit. If you are running old machines like some of mine that have an AGP slot, there is hope for you too. ATI makes an AGP version of its 3850 that will work too. Price about $100.

    So lets see If I understand how these numbers work
    From what I gather the first number 38,46,48, 57, 58 are like the chip series and the 50, 70, 90 are the chip speed
    Boy I am a slow learner
