    AMD APP SDK v3.0

    I am just realizing that my R9 270 is really struggling with some projects. Looking at this web link I have been swayed in this direction by PrimeGrid actually looking to improve a sub performer, if that's possible. The link I am referring to is here:

    So many ways to improve my performance, I just need NeoGen to stay out of this improvement so I can catch him once again!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    …Pursuit is always hard, capturing is really not the focus, it’s the hunt ...

    Buy a R9 280 or better: a R9 280X

    I'm sorry taking your spot Nflight

    I put my Radeon 7970 at full blast on Primegrid with an appconfig prepared to run a whole bunch of tasks in parallel to see how it would behave.
    It seems to work well on regular Genefer, even with up to 30 at a time, although the total time for all of them is really slow. My mistake was trying to mix in Genefer WR workunits, they are so much more computing intensive that I don't think I have enough time to finish them now, they are going to go over the deadline.

    I wasn't getting that many credits until today apparently, since you mentioned Primegrid I looked it up on Boincsynergy and WOW! I just dumped 250K worth in a day But that's just because I had so many running in parallel that they all got finished and uploaded simultaneously. Now I'm going to be on a dry spell for a while again.


    EDIT: I don't see how the AMD APP SDK can improve performance of the GPU... I already have the latest drivers. Does it offer something else?
