Most efficient GPU settings for 511 point WUs?
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:35 pm
PPD avg. goes from 6100 to 3800 when going from <400 point workloads to 511 point WUs. Any advice on accelerating the larger loads?

How long does it take for a SMP on your machines, aristade? I'm running 2x GMPs on my quad right now, but am thinking about going back to the SMPs.aristide1 wrote:The other question is will the ATI cards also slow down with the 511 pointers or will they start running faster?
That's been an issue since the beginning. Remember when all SMP units were 1760 points and flew by? And then the 1920 ones came out, and they take twice as long. Don't even ask about the 2500 point ones.
I'd like to hear about this one.AZBrandon wrote:... I'll see what my new GTX+ does in a little while, but I'm not expecting it to be much faster either.
Well there's where it's a little weird - I've had 3 9800GT's and they seemed to fall in to two power profiles; a high and low consumption group. The GTX+ draws about 5-10 watts more than the lower power consumption 9800GT's, which means it performs about the same or maybe slightly better in points per watt than the 9800GT. nVidia cards are power hungry though, there's just no two ways about it.aristide1 wrote:How about power consumption?
