Yes everyone I finally got my Sapphire Radeon HD 5770. So far I am really loving the card

So far I have run some benchies and noticed some nifty performance increases, especially in Resident Evil 5. Check out the Excel file that is attached for all.

Note: I was not able to test Distributed Computing Applications (namely BOINC's Collatz Conjecture project) because apparently the drivers are not supported.

I really love the fact that this card can handle...

Hello my fellow overclockers. Been a while since I've done a blog, so might as well post one up! If you haven't been aware yet, I contribute my idle computer time to a project called World Community Grid (a distributed computing project by IBM that runs using BOINC; a similar concept to folding@Home).

Attached are my current stats.

I have the following goals set for the remainder of the year:
-End of October: Be in the top 45,000 in points generated
-End...

If you have been a member of OCN for a while, you must know that Overclock.net is one of the top 10 teams in the world for Folding@Home, a distributed computing project run by Stanford University to calculate protein folding. Even if you didn't know what it is or what what did, you must of come across the name "Folding@Home" or acronyms like "F@H" or "ppd" some time or another.

This Saturday, beginning at 9:00 am, Overclock.net will be celebrating its...

Well I never got to posting the benchmarks when I wanted to, but here they are finally! I am truly impressed at the raw amount of processing power increase that the Q8200 offered. Since I was coming from a P4 that was 3.24GHZ and hyperthreading to a Q8200 with 4 core @2.33GHZ, I wasn't expecting performance increases of > 4x in some applications, but here we are! As well, ATI proved to me that you don't need a power hungry GPU to process graphics, look at the 4670! Although it is not said in...
