Got a brand new graphics card! What should I run?

Hi

I just got a strong graphics card and I want to run some CA, especially 3D, 2-state ones. Is there a software out there that can do these simulations taking advantage of the GPU? What do you guys think I should run?

Thanks!

Not exactly cellular automata (depends on your definition, I guess), but Alien Project looks like a lot of fun and I can't run it because my graphics card is too old. So put that new hardware to good use for me :)

How did you manage to get one? Scalpers or waited in line for a year?

This looks fun indeed I'm definitely checking it out, thanks

I got it as a gift! My last graphics card fried and I kinda took a break on gaming so now I'm back and I don't want to just game on it if you know what I mean :)

If you're up for something experimental, my VulkanAutomata project will push your GPU to the absolute limit.

It might take a fair amount to get set up with it, but I'm happy to assist with setting up the environment. I also haven't implemented any 3D capabilities yet, but I plan on implementing it in the near future!

This looks exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate!

not sure about GPU, but Golly is the software you're looking for

Nice I didn't know Golly could do 3D. Thanks mate
