Thanks. I'm running 95% CPU

Thanks. I'm running 95% CPU time right now and no problems - just didn't want to try 100% without being sure I wouldn't crash or something.

Also, with BRPx2 my 680 is still only 80 - 90% in use. I'll give 3 a try and see what it does to my efficiency.

I just ordered some new parts


I just ordered some new parts to upgrade another one of mine so by the weekend I will have another GPU cruncher.

It will get another 4GB ram and a Ultra X4 850 watt PSU and a GeForce GTX 650Ti SSC

And since I already did this on another one I have that is the exact same pc it will be up and running in about 10 minutes.......probably take more time to get the parts out of the packages

By default I run fully loaded

By default I run fully loaded with 8 CPU and 1 GPU task on my i7-920/GTX560 system; and only ever have to back down from that level with some games.

Well I updated another one

Well I updated another one last night and after all the fun of installing the drivers and then messing around with the clocks settings and voltage a few times and watching with the GPU-Z and the EVGA Precision X my addition of this EVGA GeForce GTX 650Ti SSC it looks like it is ready to get to work and get the best times for the BRP X2

Migic - Have you tried BRP

Migic - Have you tried BRP X3? Your GPU load is not more then 85%. Could you please provide results for such case?

I've tried 3 simultaneous

I've tried 3 simultaneous tasks on a 650; it was either no gain, or if I recall correctly, a performance loss.

Yes they run better at X2

Yes they run better at X2 than at X3 and this one is superclocked and I spent the first day seeing how far I could overclock and actually got a few tasks done in 32 minutes before it would freeze things up so right now it is set a bit safer and is having no trouble with a 52min average per tasks X2

And also that GPU-Z number you see saying the GPU load being 87% doesn't mean that is all it is actually running.

Most of the time it will say 99%.......that just happened to be at 87% when I took the snapshot.

Also this one is just a 3-core host that is using 2 cores for running Test4Theory X2 w/the virtualbox at the same time.......for now.

I will probably mess with the clocks a bit more so they will be in the upper 40mins later today.
