Posting this here in case you guys haven't seen it: Core 17 update, video, and reddit live Q&A The juicy details: GTX 680 goes up from 30k to 80k PPD Titan goes up from 50k to 120k PPD But most incredibly, 7970 goes from 10k to 110k PPD!! It's time to bring GPUs (particularly AMD Radeons) back into the fold - even a 7870 will net you 50k on the new core!
Well it's out of beta now so it should be automatically enabled for GPU slots. Check your system to see if it's being used - if not, advmethods should definitely enable it.
As I understand it, its still in beta testing at the moment - therefore, you would need to add the beta flag to pick it up. In HFM, you'll see it come up as Core ID '17' and Core 'ZETA'. I tried it on my test machine with a GTX 560 - it's not good for Fermi, as the PPD dropped by about 2k - it's really geared for Kepler and Radeon 7xxx's.
580 same points im running a gtx580 at 920mhz and still getting normal, about 30500ppd 2m11sec tpf totaling 3hours 26mins project 7663 ross
Really is an update for Kepler and other high ends, my GTX460 just picked up a core 17 and is sitting at the same PPD it always has. Enjoy the points big spenders
my 2 gtx660s are happily running them and running cooler just using 1 core per gpu on my i5 2500k and my gtx560ti too on my i5 750
I tried adding the GPU slot under Linux with the v7 client - seemed to work without effort with the new Core. (Details: latest patches on Ubuntu 12.04 with GTX 460 and beta flag in v7.3.6 client).
