    Thread: 980 TI Bench
Post: RE: 980 TI Bench

You're trying to compare single hash brute force vs multi-hash brute force speeds. Apples and oranges comparison. 10.5 GH/s for multi-hash when your single hash kernel gets 16.6 GH/s is pretty damn go...

Post: RE: 980 TI Bench

Usually on register-bound algorithms like MD4 and MD5 the card runs close to TDP (or over TDP in the case of AMD, which is why we have to set Powertune to +50%.) Titan X for example draws 235W at +200...

MSRP and TDP are fixed variables, and Ivan Golubev's original tables used MSRP.

346 is the stable branch, so 346.82 would be the recommended driver.

It is possible that resellers in your area do not sell reference design cards. You could contact them and ask them if they are able to get reference design cards through their supply chain. Or you cou...

I never said reference designs cost more -- I said they cost more to manufacture. And the chipset manufacturer dictates the price, therefore the profit margins are very slim. This is why several OEMs...

There's nothing special about superclocked or factory overclocked cards. They just have a bios that comes set at higher clocks, which you can easily do yourself.

Power is always an issue. The more power a card draws, the harder it is to cool. 5970 is the same length as the 6990. They are both dual-GPU cards.
