Price for both are the same. I borrowed both from 2 different frieneds. They told me I can use them,overclock them and test them out and see which I like better before I pay them.
Both seem to run the same temps,both overclock the same for 24/7 use.
So the question goes back to, how big of a difference does l2 cache make?
BTW upping the clock speed from 2.8ghz to 3.5ghz took ~30mins off of the time it takes per-task to get done. Does that seem right? (this is on the X2 220)

I'm honestly not sure ATM. I've been trying to do some tests on my HPs and older laptops, but I have confounding variables that's making it hard (namely, some run Vista, some run 7, and some run Ubuntu). I'll look at my numbers and see what info I can dredge up
And as far as the time difference goes--what sort of percentage increase is this? Because HCC completes
far, far faster than CEP2.

Only problem I have with the two HIS 7770 GPU's is that for some reason I cannot monitor their temps. The cards stay nice and cool by touch, not like the two 580's which are pretty hot...
Don't know why I can't see their temps though... |
That's awesome!
And it's not like the GTX580s are
that hot...they're sure running cooler than the GTX470s I have

and yes we are talking about HCC. |
Thank you for keeping us updated! It's awesome to see how much time the GPU applications have chopped off of this-but it is a shame that our cards will be idled in two months
