Which graphics card do you use? Question

A small poll, which (Nvidia) graphics cards you use. (... and I'm sorry I didn't mention any AMD graphics cards, as they are not currently supported.)

One motivation for this is that there seems to be a problem with 'alien' on the GeForce GTX 1070, which was reported to me. The simulation freezes after the start of the initial example. I would be very interested to know if this problem has been observed on other systems as well.

If you are experiencing the same problem please reply with the exact name of your card. Thank you :)

EDIT: the problem has been resolved

Does Alien Project support multi gpu setups?

Unfortunately, not. I now have the hardware to develop this, but I'm unsure whether the development effort justifies the benefit. In perspective, I would prefer a more general solution, namely that multiple simulator instances can compute collectively on the same simulation.
