I decided to try running 2 WU's at a crack on my GPU again and I dont remember times I got before, I am running a 6950 with the shaders unlocked at 900mhz.
Didnt want to push it too much, the temp is 63, GPU usage is 84-100%, and memory isnt hitting above 350MB out of 2GB.

Times looking not bad.
But you can speed things up using some switches.

Put this into your appinfo.xml or ap_cmdline_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_ATI.txt file

-unroll 12 -ffa_block 8192 -ffa_block_fetch 4096

Dont forget to free at least one CPU core.
I have 2 cores freed.


With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

No, no, no... You don't need to do any of that. No need in going faster and catch up to me.
...wait no our team is about to be passed in 7 days! Full speed ahead!!!

My 6870 didn't seem to do much better when running 2 vs 1, but that was back on AP v5.05.
