Hi Tommi,
That is true, but it is also the most extreme comparison possible. A
crude estimate of the ranking of drivers would be:
NVIDIA > Intel (these are open source by default) > AMD > radeon (open
source amd) > Nouveau (open source nvidia)
While both NVIDIA and AMD hardware are of similar sp
Hi Dan,
Thanks. While I agree that all kinds of GPUs might be sufficient as far as
the hardware and FS computations go, the drivers in fact make a major
difference for visualizations. For my card the proprietary NVIDIA drivers
turned out to be 10-20 times faster than the CentOS 6.5 Noveau drivers
Great. Thanks for the information.

Just to add. If you are not using the CUDA options (which in my
understanding aren't being updated anyway), I find that the gpu
included in modern Intel cpus is more than sufficient for my
FreeSurfer and MNE uses.

Tommi,
Here at the Martinos Center we use the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA.
We have no reasons to believe the Nouveau drivers would work better, but
that isnt to say one doesnt exist.

Hi,
Is there a FreeSurfer/MNE (maybe even FSL, TrackVis) recommendation to use
the "noveau" drivers that come with CentOS 6.5 or would it be better to go
with the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA?
I would imagine that since FS 5.3 does not use GPU for analysis, this is
mainly relevant for visuali
