    Re: New Einstein GPU App: Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Parkes PMPS XT) BRP6

    I'm turning my AMD GPUs over to Einstein for a while, and found from their user stats and message boards that the Parkes XT Beta work runs faster and grants the same credit as the normal app. So if you're running Parkes, select beta versions in your project preferences for 15-30% MOAR CREDITS

    Another thing... this app seems even more bus-reliant than earlier GPU apps. PCIe 2.0 appears to be a severe limitation on fast cards.

    Edit: OK I did some research and my Tahiti cards (7970 and 280x) were getting WAY slower results than they should. I uninstalled AMD Omega drivers and reverted to Catalyst 13.12 + APP SDK v2.9 for the 7970 and Catalyst 14.9 + APP SDK v2.9.1 for the 280x. So far the work units are processing MUCH faster, putting my results in line with users in the top of the stats pages.
