The stream client seems to be behaving much better even if using the fastest core. :)

You mean an ATI client, right?

Do give us some numbers please. How much better is it than the cuda clients? :)

Yes, Stream is the AMD/ATI gpu. As for better......... For $149 at Best Buy, you can get a 4850 stream card, that will output approx twice what a BFG GTX-260 cuda will do at roughly the same price on rc5. At least now I can use the computer to surf and get my mail with the stream card, which would really drag before. So that has caught up with the cuda card as far as usability for browsing and such while crunching too. So that is a significant improvement IRT stream from beta9 to beta10.

I don't have the 600 bux sitting around to buy the latest and greates stream card as I've got another expensive hobby, plus putting a kid through college. So I'm not into it like I used to be. :-)
