nVidia GF 9800GT - CUDA?

[cgbeige]

CUDA is a compute language for GPUs that works with Nvidia cards. It's used in some GPU renderers - I use one called Octane Render that's based on CUDA. It's very fast, if limited because of how difficult it is to make full-featured renderers for CUDA/OpenCL. OpenCL is the open standard compute language that is similar.

1) isn't that the 3D shutter glasses connector? Looks like an S-video port, I believe.

What is CUDA?

This is why I like CGS FORUMS. I went to the nvidia site, looked up the specs and did not find answers to these questions. (at least not in a way I could understand.)
Thanks for the link.

I 've found plenty of Images of the card, but not what the connector IS.

And that is why I said that I think it is the 3D shutter glasses connector. But maybe someone with the actual card can verify that.

It's an TV-Out port.

what kind of TV uses that type of connector?
Whay can't nVidia just point an arrow to the GD photo and list what it is?

Many graphics cards with video outputs i had used a cable whip that offered S-Video alongside FBAS etc. The connector to the graphics board is usualy some small high density thing that is capable of taking care of all the conenctions. It's seldom any kind of standard connector.

You see the cable on the right side, that's the TV-Out cable (your TV probably has those cinch input ports):

I had a lot older gfx cards with those TV-ports as well, but never really had a use for it.
Maybe interesting if you like to play games on an older TV.

ok, well i did not get anything like that when i purchased my PC, so I'll look around for adapters.

Mostly I want to connect my PC (need a cable out about 50') into another room that has an LCD with an HDMI input.

The TV also has an S-Video

I just need to know what to call it so I can get the correct cable.

50' = 50 foot? That is pretty long for S-video and/ or HDMI.

I think you can get DVI to HDMI connectors, that may work best, you'd of course need quite a few high quality cables to get that far though.

[sadicus]

DVI to HDMI = $$$
Svideo to HDMI = $$

unless you know of a good deal.

[meleseDESIGN]

All you need is an DVI to HDMI Adapter and an 50' HDMI cable.
You can get the Adapter at *bay for around 5$ allready.
The HDMI cable for this distance will cost you a fortune.

Why don't you put the LCD just right next to the Workstation, so you would need only a small HDMI cable?! Is it because you PC sounds like an airplane engine?
If so, it would be possible to get it noiseless and cool with good case fans/heatsink from Arctic Cooling and using the termal regulation in your Bios settings.

The prices are in pound sterling, and it comes to just over £22, you could go for cheaper components though and in dollars it'd be a lot less. I don't think that's too expensive.
