We have observed that the number of GPU cores makes the difference. As a simple rule we can say: the more GPU cores, the better. A simulation with a Nvidia Quadro K6000 (2880 cores) is about 3x faster than an Intel Core i7-3930K, for example.
Nvidia's GTX 9 and 10 series, or comparable AMD cards, offer a very good price-value ratio and these boards are perfectly suited for Dyverso simulations. The actual speed boost depends on your hardware.
In some Dyverso scenes I observe an increased simulation speed with the GPU enabled, but others don’t perform better. Why?
