The tables below give approximate BOINC GFLOPS ratings for some common graphics cards. There are two sections, one for AMD/ATI cards and another for Nvidia cards. The third column lists if the card is double precision capable / compute version if known.
This data will help you judge how cards will perform on a credits per hour bases, and may help you decide what card(s) to buy if your BOINC credits will be part of your decision. The values below are for cards running at stock speeds. Your measured gflops may vary depending on your system, the card manufacturer, overclocking, etc. You could be anywhere from 10% less to 20% more than the values below, but the info should still be a good guide.
If you have benchmarks for recent cards that are not in our list we would very much appreciate it if you would post the info in our GPU forum so we can add them to the tables.
