GPU Choices ?

[epixoip]

atom's benchmarks are with stock clocks & without tuning PowerMizer. The benchmarks I provided above are with a mild & usable overclock on both the 290X and 980, with optimal PowerTune and PowerMizer settings respectively.

For the 290X:

Code:

od6config --set core=1050,mem=1375,power=50,temp=95,fan=100

For the 980:

Code:

nvidia-settings -a GPUPowerMizerMode=1 \
                -a GPUFanControlState=1 \
                -a GPUCurrentFanSpeed=100 \
                -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=350 \
                -a GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=400

For Nvidia you'll have to add the following options to xorg.conf to make that nvidia-settings command work:

Code:

Option "Coolbits" "12"
Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
