[gmx-users] GPU acceleration

[Alex]

Well, I've had a Gigabyte-made OC'd GTX 660 at home (for gaming) for a
few years, no problems at all. I guess my question was more along the
lines of whether GPU MD runs are equivalent to week-long gaming in
terms of heat production. What I also didn't know is whether 960 was a
fiery beast. Your post answers that and we'll be getting one, probably
from ASUS. I try to stay away from EVGA (terrible experience, card was
returned, but I kept the "Powered by EVGA" sticker, which is now
proudly presented on my toilet).

Thanks.
