I'm just happy to be back in the RED again :)
anyone have any experiences with the Phenom II 's? I think I'm going to get rid of my Q6600 gem and go with a PII 920 because clock for clock its a lot faster encoding and that's mainly what I'll be doing on that rig.
I don't yet but I will in April or May :p:
i havent done any encoding on my phenom2 940s if i remember correctly there is some stats in the amd section im still playing with my ocing and tweaking its going to take
some time .
Well got my 9800GX2 running here is what shes at now. I'll try some OC'in this evening:) Now is it true only overclocking the shaders will show improvement?

I'm tempted to buy an Phenom to dual boot XP and Gentoo on it.
Pulsar: To start the greatest benefit is from shaders, then a little from core and a tiny bit from mem. My advice? Starting from stock step the shaders up in steps of 54. If you are lucky you will top out at maybe 1890 or 1836 or 1782 depending on your card.
Old info but read this: http://www.forums.pureoverclock.com/...ead.php?t=4258
just curious why increments of 54?
Rivatuner will let you select lesser amounts but as in the link nothing happens until the clock you select is nearer to the next 54 increment then it will "snap" to that setting. If you enable hardware monitoring In rivatuner you will see this happen. As for why....... :shrug:
wierd...I'm using GPU-Z and its showing every little increase I make. Right now I'm testing 740core/1850shader and making 5450ppd on each core :) I'm having to use nTune to overclocking because through rivatuner its only letting me overclock one core.

Think this is what I'm sticking with :) an extra 1.4k a day I'll take it!
It's got to do with how clocks are generated on a GPU AFAIK. You have a basic crystal on there that oscillates in this case with 27MHz. Every other clock on that card will now be generated by multiplying this base clock to reach the final clock which the component will run on.
Just thought I'd let everyone know newegg has recertified EVGA 9800GX2's for $220 in stock here just picked up my 3rd for 3-way :)
yea sorry 3-way crunching :)
Does anyone know of some cheap 9600GSOs? I would like to pick up a couple of them. Matching, preferably, with a dual slot cooler or something like that to help on the noise level. I'm talking like $85 for 2 of them, ya know, like some of those EVGA ones from newegg a while back that people were getting for like $35 bucks :D
Did anyone else notice that the new nvidia drivers don't create cpu usage at all?
you guys still all F@H like mad.
I have a Dual slot eVGA 9600GSO.. the 96SP.. good version NIB for sale $65 shipped!
I just found this facebook application group for F@H. Join the team here.
Just some random questions.....
What kind of PPD do Q9550s get with a single SMP client?
Have the HD4870s caught up to the Nvidia cards in PPD?
Well finally getting my AMD build sorted out with 3x9800GX2's and well have two in there right now loaded and my Kill-A-Watt is reading 610W and 5.07 Amps(so glad this isn't going on my electricity bill :)). Lets see how this holds up its only an OCZ 900W PSU and BTW crunching 22k ppd as of right now.
I would guess about 2k2 @ 3.4 or if you ran two SMP's you could be getting maybe 3k5
No they haven't ......points info: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.ph...4263&start=195
