A slightly different way to get 300K+ PPD

Its output is 350K @ stock

It uses only:

But its strength is in numbers:

Lots of numbers!

We love Core17 on Linux! :eek:

OK so its a bit silly, yes it costs 50% more than a GTX980 if you buy new.

I think with a slightly better CPU or some GPU overclock I could get up to 400K PPD

At the moment the poor dual core Celeron is puking its guts up at 100% which I am sure is slowing down the drivers.

Surely diminishing returns with any overclock of increased PPD at the expense of added power?

But at the current PPD v wattage it seems quite nice, especially if from kit that you've already had your money's worth.

Prolly but these little things just sip juice. :O

Will see what it does to the watts to go for a max overclock

Gonna compare watts on an identical machine setup but with a single 970 and a single 980 if ICBA
