Well I do upto a point. But once you have the settings for your best bench just benching because of a change if drivers is kinda too easy. I have profiles for bench and BLK setting saved.

Setting up four cards though!!! painful!!!
 
Objective test

Some of you will have seen my comment in the 13.1beta thread about it only folding at a max 50%. I can confirm now it was an issue between my card, F@H and the beta drivers. Glad to say my upgrade to 7950 has done the trick.

So I've decided now to do a comparison test between 12.10, 13.1beta and the 13.2beta.

Hardware:
1090T @ 3.8GHz
AMD 890FX mobo
8GB XMS3 @ 1600
HIS 7950 3GB @950/1550 (our lass has got washing on the radiators or it would have been 1150/1550 lol)

Nothing running in the system tray.

12.10:

13.2beta:

I think the jump from 21.10 to 13.1beta is HUUUGE! I did notice some stuttering during the testing of the 12.10, but nona at all for the betas.

So I'm running 13.2beta now and I'm a happy bunny. I'm sure this will all change when I go FM2 :D
 
Memory timings or changed memory?
Just gave the Bclk a little nudge there.

Another Small improvement. This time it's Bclk and memory timings. I really should get some faster memory, had some 2133 but got rid of them for some reason.

And a GPU-Z validation just because everyone wants one and I just did a bunch as it always slips my mind.

What's the Physics score with one of those?

About 7000 the same as my I7 950 @ 3.8ghz.

The difference however is that the Xeon pulls, IIRC, about 60w and maxes out at 38c under load using a Corsair H60 :D

I decided ages ago that I was going to make my PC as efficient as possible given that electricity has soared in price.

I'm running a £30 mobo (MSI micro) with the Xeon and a 670 Jetstream.

I was going to get a I5 2500 non K (don't oc my cpus) but the Xeon was the same price when I got it (£150) and has the same cache as the I7. No contest really.
 
My Sapphire 7970 OC boost gets delivered tomorrow:D
Can't wait to take out these 6870s and get benchmarking!
Hoping to see a nice improvement.

Have fun and get it clocked up :)

Woohoo just broke the record for a Xeon E3 1220 + GTX 670.

9054 total with a 10995 graphics score :D

Closest is 8790

Do you have the 3DMark link mate and I will add it? :)
