what gpu? 580?

[ozaudio]

Gainward gtx580 @ 80 pounds , would you snap this up for folding?

I do have a few quid for a gpu(s) aside

or an overclocked msi 7850 overclocked?

580 has gone, !!! bummer

You should have grabbed Biffa's 7950 as I suggested but that's gone now too.

I have no MM access and havnt seen biffa around for a week or so now

ive very tempted at either a

new evga gtx580 @ £130ish new

or try the 7850 overclocked at £130 also, im also waiting to see if I get some more ppi back soon, then I can afford a new psu aswell better cards

ive narrowed it down now ,

gtx670 or amd 7950 , the 7950 overclock to nearly 7970 do they not? but the drivers are poor?

MSI GeForce GTX 670 Overclocked NVIDIA Graphics Card 2GB
MSI Overclocked Radeon HD 7950 AMD Graphics Card 3GB

Drivers are fine. Get the 7950

Seconded. See the MSI on offer in the 'epic AMD' threads.

just seen it, the twin forza is better for not much more but still has the loud fans problem according to the reviews

Ok lets see what this 7950 can do and lets see if I can get my self nice new psu aswell and another 7950 on payday


edit

or maybe not, this 1 gpu alone is louder than 2 x gtx 470s with blowers!

on WU 8900 im only getting 27k ppd on gpu, which is quite frankly, rubbish.

 

[MikeTimbers]

should be much higher than that. Check the clocks are holding. What's the Time Per Frame?

 

[Snapshot]

My Gigabyte 7950 gives up to 76000 PPD on 8900s and is almost silent as the fans are only at 40%.

What AMD drivers are you using and what else is the CPU doing?

 

[ozaudio]

latest drivers are been used, its now at 73k ppd for gpu , its far to hot though, 85c cpu has gone up 10c aswell!!! going to have to move my pc from next to the wall so it can breath better
