Hi,

I have this dream project where I want to build a monster of a computer only set to crunch data for projects. It would be powered completely by solar panels as well.

The recently announced Titan Z is a behemoth of a card and I was wondering what actually is optimal for BOINC? A consumer/gaming card or a workstation card like a Quadro? Thanks.

No card would be optimal for BOINC: BOINC doesn't compute.

Different projects would find different cards optimal - it depends on the nature of the science they do, and the skillsets of their programmers. Some developers get the best out of AMD/ATI cards, other developers work better with NVidia cards.

A large card like the TITAN-Z might be efficiently used by a project like GPUGrid: it could be utterly wasted on a project with much smaller tasks.
