The Fermi Thread - Part 3

Oh, like in folding:



So you can fold while making hamburgers

You seem to be a troll. The password cracking is an extremely simple GPGPU application, probably the only one that can make use of the theoretical 2.7TFlop of the 5870 (although 2.2Tflop in practice) and remain useful.

Let's have a look at some more:

Urgh purleeze. The version that Anandtech used 1) Didn't have any vectorization optimizations/experimentation 2) Was not done with the -local switch. nVidia's OCL compiler probably adds it automatically by now, you need to specify it on the Radeons.

But again you don't seem to know much more about GPGPU either, with the cherrypicking of benchmarks that suit your agenda.

Cherry picking? I posted the rest of the benchmarks from anandtech that were not already posted.

So you don't know for sure that nvidia adds it? Let's say it does. I thought OpenCL was ATI's forte? Not only did nvidia have full support before ATI but they appear to be faster as well.

Do you have a 5870? Why don't you or somebody that has one run this benchmark with the -local switch then?
