BEWARE of new Samsung 850 PRO Firmware!

Just a few days ago I updated the firmware for my Samsung 850EVO 250GB and also a Crucial M550 256GB mSATA (both with bitlocker enabled), I was a bit spooked but both did just fine, no re installs needed.

MilkyWay@H Benchmark thread Spring 2014 - Summer 2016

Ok, I double checked and a CPU is dedicated to it. I upgraded my drivers to the Catalyst Omega 14.12 released two days ago. I've now taken the 38 first samples. Average: 37.1136, High: 45.27, Low: 36.11 I went back, as much as possible, to re-check averages before the driver upgrade. I got 8...

MilkyWay@H Benchmark thread Spring 2014 - Summer 2016

One CPU is dedicated to that. I was reading about this GPU and it is factory overclocked, if I'm not mistaken. The core clock is 900Mhz. I'm going to update the drivers and see if that changes something.

That is probably the only it. I don't bother changing FF, it just worked as good as Pale Moon. There was just no reason to use Pale Moon, for me.
