I have a 9800GT (pretty cheap now-a-days + it runs modern games), which has the lowest CUDA 1.0. Also, I am interested in how you will do the work. Currently, it's necessary to run the CUDA SDK and Toolkit under Linux emulation or chroot, despite the fact that the NVIDIA drivers for FreeBSD include CUDA support. According to this, http://blogs.freebsdish.org/jhb/2010/07/20/using-cuda-with-the-native-freebsdamd64-nvidia-driver/, you still need to compile the CUDA apps under Linux, where the SDK is. Only after that you can run the binaries on FreeBSD. -- Lyubomir Grigorov (bgalakazam)
