My dedicated GPU cruncher this morning for F@H got a couple of these new WUs. My PPD shot up by almost 8000 PPD for a total of 30K PPD!
Downside... of course there's a downside haha... is that these WUs really push the thermals. Depending on your cooling solution, it's around 5 to 10C more on the GPU. I have a pair of MSI Cyclone-cooled GTX 460 and observed a 5C increase on both GPUs.
I don't have -advmethods enabled on my client so looks like anyone can get these WUs at anytime. No idea if these are here to stay or if it's limited availability. Either way, keep an eye out on your temps or beef up your rig cooling if inadequate. Few people on EVGA are already experiencing unstable overclocks and overheating cards.
