Re: Low PPD with i7 720QM & ATI HD5870

Also there is a MAX Turbo speed of 2.8GHz but it only seems to be hanging around 1.73GHz anyway to force 2.8? (Edit) Looks like SetFSB would be the way I would overclock my G73JH but the free version doesn't support my model. (Edit) Grandpa_01 what are you using for tightening up your memory timings?

Re: Low PPD with i7 720QM & ATI HD5870

Power savings is not on, I've shutdown the GPU core and now only running SMP client with -smp 7 as per Jeannies suggestion.. and only got around 4000.. I started the GPU core back up and getting 2104 for GPU and 3972 for SMP. Going to try memory timings next.

Re: Low PPD with i7 720QM & ATI HD5870

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I'm folding on a G73JH, I'll try all your suggestions and see what happens.
My Environmental Variables were already set with these settings:
FLUSH_INTERVAL = 128
BROOK_YIELD = 2
CAL_PRE_FLUSH = 1
CAL_NO_FLUSH = 1

Low PPD with i7 720QM & ATI HD5870

I've attached a screenshot of my specs and the 2 projects... The PPD seems low compared to what I've been reading from other users. I've tried using only 7 cores for SMP and dedicating one core for GPU but doesn't make a difference.
