OC +200core clock / +250 memory
yup - thats what i thought ...
we really need to have some sort of standard that we can compare against ...
non oc is the best way on a card by card basis ...
every card oc's differently and some cards can be pushed harder than others - with others again being tweaked with firmware and such ...
this means that the readings we give here are utterly useless to compare with ...
they are great readings to compare oc'ing with - and a table / list that would be created as a comparison would be even better ...
who has skills ( and time ) to do such a thing? ...
is there already a site that has a comparison ( and settings ) list? ...
would luv to see how ccminer-spmod compares to other with the same cards ...

I think a standard is good, but stock clocks probably shouldn't be it. Pure stock clocks are usually so bad, most people don't mine at them - hurts efficiency. A slight OC that pretty much all cards can reach makes sense, though.
shouldnt factory clocks BE the standard - even for a 25 minute test? ...
a list for stock ( standard rates ) and a list for oc ( using the same card and what has been done to the card ) ...
whether its is efficient or inefficient - a standard that the tweaks and overclocks ( with the methods of how it was done ) that can be compared to - is what i believe should be the 'norm' for comparison ...
for example - you buy a car that is 'factory stock' and test it ... then you tweak and tune and improve then test - and THEN compare the results ...
i believe it should be no different to gpu's ... within reason of course ...
no use trying to compare a liquid nitrogen cooled gpu with no way of duplicating it for the home user ...
as nice as that would be to see

The goals of the GPU manufacturer and the miner are very different. The GPU manufacturer wants to maximize the number of cards that pass the tests, so they set the standards low. Any miner caring about efficiency will OC somewhat if they can - we're not comparing mining usage to regular gaming usage, we're trying to compare a reasonable baseline vs improvements or better OCs.
With cars, whether you buy it to sit in traffic, or to race, it's still driving. Mining and gaming are two very different types of things - it's not just doing the same thing faster - which, I think, makes it reasonable to have a baseline more suited to mining (that almost all cards can still do) instead of one that was chosen by the manufacturer, who has entirely different goals in mind.
makes sense ...
so how would a baseline be agreed upon for comparison? ...
there really is no standards to base a lot of this off ( omg
- here we go with the extranonce standards issue again ) ...im curious ...
