Back in my day, you had to flip switches and change jumpers on the MOBO to adjust to Front Side Bus speed. Jumping from 66 MHz fsb to 100 MHZ and upgrading to 256 MB of ram, now THAT was overclocking. Ya newbs, with your UEFI BIOSes, and your Software based overclocking with real time...

ASUS DCUII 7850 @ stock produces 300-330 KHash on CG Miner depending on aggression level. I haven't mined since i went to 8320, i might want to see how many KHash i can get with GPU and CPU mining running concurrently.

Wouldn't you just love to be able to set up CG miner on 30-40 computers to run on the off hours and not pay a dime in Utility costs or hardware? All those machines tied to your wallet. Even better if you can keep those machines mining after you are fired.

So, if you like WCCFTech or not, we have some (I hate to admit this) 2nd hand bench marks for HSA software. Assuming this information has not been previously posted, and that these are 100% valid, I am impressed. First set of benchies are x86 code, second set of benchies are HSA enabled...

OEM's that sell laptops with the OS installed on 5400rpm drives should be shot. The reason I bring this up is that AMD systems are almost always relegated to the cheapest looking, single Ram strip, bottom dollar system bottleneck builds. I'm sure this has been discussed before in this...

Okay, so Star Swarm updated let's see what the damage is. Um not much difference from the initial Mantle release. Oxide Games Star Swarm Stress Test - ©2013 C:\Users\Nicholas\Documents\Star Swarm\Output_14_02_04_2017.txt Version 1.00 02/04/2014 20:17...

Here's my Mantle run (no upgrades yet). I have almost doubled the total frames. and my Avg frames are up 50%. I wonder why some of the NVidia/Intel setups had such low batch counts? =========================================================== Oxide Games Star Swarm Stress Test - ©2013...

Went to Microcenter last night and could not resist the urge to pick up the fx 8320 and a couple of SSD's. I will be updating tomorrow.

As much as we have gotten off topic in the past, I started a separate thread for Star Swarm (free on steam) and Mantle (14.1 driver not out yet) results. http://Toms/starswarmresults.Tada! SO, shall this thread stay open till a time when software is benchmarked for the full capabilities of...

With the recent release of Star Swarm on Steam, and the upcoming 14.1 Mantle Drivers for AMD GCN cards, has anyone downloaded and performed any testing yet? At this time 14.1 beta is not yet released, here are my resuts on 13-12 drivers. AMD fx-6300, Asus DCUII 7850 2GB ddr5, Win 8.1...

I had the chips and wanted to see how they compared. Absolutely, BD has improved integer performance; and it isn't just a clock speed variance. On average, the increase was a factor of 500%, when the speed difference is only 125% (2.8ghz vs 3.5 ghz). FP performance did not change as...

Wow, I think you used my fx6300 and HD7800 results! Thanks! I am running Win 8.1, 1600 ddr3, Asus m5a97 Evo Rev 1. 1 single 500 gb HDD, Seidon 120 water cooler. I will note, that I shut nothing down. I have all background tasks running. The Integer performance increase vs the a8 is...

Considering What Juangra Wrote (Bright side of News and Juangra.com) regarding the performance of the different cores, he was pretty accurate. By that I mean the first figure he has posted has the CPU at 3.8ghz at 121 Gflops (3.7 is the listed speed for the 7850K which reduces Gflops to...
