Yes, this is on a 550 Watt PSU. No, it doesn't use more than 500W on 100% load. Yes, I am fucking happy. Honestly, being able to SLI better than titan performance on a freaking 550 Watt PSU is amazing. AMD take notes. 04-12-2015, 12:35 AM
On the AMD side you don't need a multi-gpu setup to have better-than-titan performance...

@AON: It was a scene with a bunch of water sploshing around in a glass box. At some points there were lots and lots of droplets, and the scene had more than half a million polygons IIRC, and with both water and glass being transparent there was a TON of raytracing to do (so it was probably not the best in terms of representing your average 3D scene).
(Oh and the water simulation was pre-baked, of course. So it had no impact on the rendering.)

joining in on the i7/i5 topic, something big it affects is code compilation. You can run more make jobs before losing performance and there are more cores to do all the jobs etc.
Another use for it I can see is using another computer to run synthesizers (allows for more and more complex synthesizers) but that's music/audio engineer things. Even then most of my methods are questionable even compared to the ridiculous things a lot of other engineers do for their sounds...

Ah yes, I've never written any code that took more than 20-30 seconds to compile so I didn't think about that. But yeah, if you run Linux and build a lot of things yourself, or if you're a software developer (and work from home) then it would certainly make a difference.

yeah I know about the new line of nvidia gpus being fast, I'm not a blind amd fangirl.

Back to 5.0GHz again
 .Edit : CPUz is Intel fanboy . It can't even read the correct voltage Laptop: (Show Spoiler)

TDP of 100W? I don't think that is correct either.

HWINFOx64 can read the right values but
Somehow AMD cool n quite (similar to Intel Speedstep) does not work here . That option is enabled by default ... 5.0GHz all the time , no throttle at all . Seriously , my electric bill... Laptop: (Show Spoiler)
