ATI core improvements

[Zero82z]

Throughout EOC's tracking period for January 8th, my 4870 completed nine 548-point workunits for a total of 4932 points in one day. This is in contrast to a point output of approximately 3500PPD with the same units, two months ago. Impressive.

Great work to everyone involved with improving the ATI GPU2 client, and I can't wait to see what's next .

Hmm. These kinds of numbers make me consider an ATI folding box

I'm taking a [H]ard look at replacing my GTX260's with 4870's. My mobo does not support sli, but it does support Xfire.

I think the improvements we have seen so far, as great as they are, are just the tip of the iceburg to come.

Once the results are there, I'll consider a ATi box.

Once that Radeon 4870 gets fully utilized, those 800 shaders and 70% of theoretical value (700-800 GFLOPS instead of 1-1.2 TFLOPS) should be good enough for reaching the level of GTX280.
