Why does Charlie Demerjian hate Intel (or everything thats not ATI/AMD) sooo much?

I would like to use Sandy Bridges integrated GPU for GPGPU computing with OpenCL. Unfortunately I was reading today that this GPU will be disabled when the CPU detects a graphics card in a PCIe slot. Another source wrote that it is only when it's not plugged into a monitor (a simple dummy...

It's slightly faster than AMDs upcoming Fusion stuff (Ontario), which basically is a HD5450. So better than expected :)

What do you mean by that? No. Only that I was reading that single/dual and ganged/unganged basically makes no difference at all.

I never touched the timings so far. And I am using single channel because I was once reading that it doesn't make a difference. Wrong? My system: AMD Phenom II X4 965, 2x2GB DDR3 (G.Skill F3-10666CL7-2GBRH) How much difference (for memory bound applications) can I expect when I use more...

What CPU cooler are you using on that photo? The fan looks huge - like a 20cm radiator.

OK thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Today the NDA was lifted. Is there any progress on this?

Two problems with CPU tweaker: 1) I can't change CAS in "Timings". It is fixed to 9. How can I change this? 2) What about the values in "Other Timings"? Where can I find good values for those?

Thanks for reply. What's the best way to tune a system? Do I have to set the timings in my BIOS & reboot? Or are there tools to do this while the systems keep running. I noticed in some other thread a tool called "CPU-Tweaker" - is this any good?

The specs & benchmarks look really good. I'd be interested in some real numbers.

This is the output of CPU-Z. I assume that's not the optimal/fastest timings. Where can I find the best settings for this RAM?

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a tool for DDR3 RAM that can automatically tune timings/voltage to find optimal settings? cheers, L.

New Catalyst? I think the 69xx cards have a huge potential with a new driver. When will the next version of Catalyst be released?

I am especially interested in the OpenCL performance of the integreated GPU. Would it be possible that someone with a Sandy Bridge CPU run GPU Caps Viewer ? Also: Did someone already use Sandy Bridge for Distributed Computing? Seti@Home / BOINC.
