Hello PokerStrategy community,

My name is icybee, I'm an opensource enthusiast . Here is my latest work, a gpu based solver, which is faster than any previous cpu based solvers.

bupticybee.github.io/texassolver_gpu_page

And I've decided to make it completely free for poker community.

I am the developer of the original open-source TexasSolver project (which some of you might have used or seen on GitHub).

Over the years of developing poker AI, I've realized that efficient GTO study is heavily bottlenecked by hardware and budget. High-end solvers are often too expensive for low-to-mid stakes players, and traditional CPU solvers can be painfully slow when you are trying to study multiple complex spots.

To solve this, I’ve spent the last couple of years rewriting the engine from the ground up to utilize NVIDIA GPU acceleration (CUDA). Today, I am very excited to release the beta of TexasSolver GPU to the community, completely for free.

Why you might want to try it:

Unmatched Speed: By moving the computational heavy lifting to your GPU, it solves complex flop trees in seconds. In our benchmark tests, it runs about 4x faster than standard CPU solvers (like Pio) while maintaining the exact same accuracy.

100% Free: No monthly subscriptions, no "pay-per-solve" cloud fees, and no hidden paywalls.

Multi-Language Support: It natively supports English, Russian, Chinese, and Korean out of the box.

I had a look at the github repo.

I might play around with it later, but I really don't play enough to make a solver worth the study time.

Ive also been thinking about that, buying a gaming computer but editing my new movies with it + entertainment for kids even though St3am is mostly 18+ now-a-days which makes Xbox better option than gaming computer but with Xbox i cant edit movies... some type of entertainment upgrade without the seriousness of software tracking...

Games, games only... and sometimes sports. No other software than PokerStrategy Forums, YouTube, WordPress and MS Excel 2010 Expired Edition.

Hi there I was building my own solver recently and I was comparing the results to yours and to pios. I think you have an issue in texassolver with suit iso. This looks cool though il have to try it out.

Real players. Deep discussions. Better poker.poker.forum
