You need more CPU to realize the true power of that 570

ripin at 5.4 I am bottlenecked w/580SLI

I am not convinced a 6GHZ CPU can run these to their full potential

You may be looking at futility until you can get CPU speed up to par

My cpu is bottlenecking the 570?

Running f@h I crush 2600k's that are humming at 4.6-4.7 and thats just with my cpu at 4ghz.

Crusher, I have no idea how F@h handles gpu clock cycles or if it pairs cpu and gpu to make a package. I know that when it comes down to 3dMarks, you can be bottlenecked with a pos cpu clock speed.

When you crush the 2600k's are you comparing the same gpu like two 570's? Are your GPU clockspeeds higher than the crushee's?

Mm no for f@h I dont use my gpus for folding on my main rig. I wasnt trying to start an argument or anything, I do know the 2600s are about as fast or faster in most things, just not everything

I dont know, I guess I have a hard time believeing that a 5ghz 2600 will bottleneck a 570, at least thats how I interpreted your post..

Sorry my bad

No problem, I'm still curious tho if your F@H crushing is based off of sheer clockspeed or something to do with a cpu. Not that I'm a big folder/cruncher guy cuz I'm not.

Oh and I didn't think there was an argument brewin but after re-reading I can see how I may have seemed like a bit of a dick. I was actually shooting for mild sarcasm while posing a question

Im not a huge folder either, I am just going off of times posted by other fellows running the same WU as I was. I wasnt doing anything special really, just run it between 4-4.2. I had a bit of an issue where my boaard would drop out of tri channel, so that was a 12-14k ppd loss.

Nah you arent a dick man, I come off the same way too sometimes so its all good

i would try 1.15 but i dont know if its safe because of problems with burnt reference GTX570 :(
