My System Specs

Default

I've just started running the gpu client, and boy is it fast!!!!!

It got me thinking about how the integration of ati's chipsets & gpu's with AMD's procs could really boost performance.

The quoted # I've seen in articles has been about 70X more processing power for the gpu doing this kind of # crunching.

Just imagine what kind of improvements in power you'd get if the chipset was designed to offload appropriate non-graphical processes to the graphics card.
