Hello i am using a GTX 670 and a GT 640. Now i watched my cpu load, and its all full load of both cores. Is it better to run with SWAN_SYNC = 0 and install a Q6600 for example ? Greets :) |

I don't think SWAN_SYNC works with the new app. A Q6600 CPU is better than a 6300, if that's what you mean? I'm a bit surprised that a Q6600 would struggle to support your cards, if the CPU is doing nothing else. An i7-2600 is about twice as powerful as a Q6600. DDR2 might not help, but there might be PCIE bus issues. What motherboard is it? FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help |

I don't think SWAN_SYNC works with the new app. This is a question, I'm also interesting in. My PC's with GTX5xx and CUDA42 do not use SWAN_SYNC, but my PC with GTX680 and CUDA42 consumes 1CPU per GPU as SWAN_SYNC do. Can I disable SWAN_SYNC in general or is there any speed improvement? |

cpu load at 53% with the q6600 Nvidia Inspector shows PCIe 1.1 capability GPU-Z shows PCIe 2.0 capability For the ASUS GTX 670 DCII , i think there is no reason to overclock !? The card do that itself, very useable running times abot 5 to 5 and a half hours running time at LR Paola WUs. |

CPUZ will tell you the motherboard name. There is little point overclocking it, especially if the board turns out to be PCIE1.1. FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help |
