PCMark 10 Professional Edition previewed

This year’s PCMark 10 has been designed with focus on improving performance in Windows 10. The release also cuts down the time needed to run a complete benchmark by half when compared to PCMark 8, and removes the need to choose between “Conventional” or “Accelerated” mode to enable OpenCL support.
One of the new workloads is called “App Start-Up,” which measures the time taken to open various applications and is relevant for assessing storage performance. A second test called “Rendering and Visualization” uses OpenGL to simulate professional graphics and give an estimate on overall processor scaling performance. The third new workload is an update to the previous “Mainstream Gaming” workload, now called “Gaming,” that uses a version of 3DMark Fire Strike to more closely resemble a modern gaming scenario. The combined test brings in an additional workload that puts more load on the CPU and GPU.

The Best GPU For Ethereum Mining – NVIDIA and AMD Tested

We're never done an article on GPU mining on Legit Reviews before, but continued interest in the ethereum project has caused Ether (the name of the cryptocurrency that runs on the ethereum blockchain app) to skyrocket in price by more than 2,800% this year alone. On Sunday, ethereum traded at an all-time high of $250.41, according to data from industry website CoinDesk. With increases and coin prices like that it has spiked the demand for discrete graphics cards in order to do GPU mining. Ethereum discourages the use of custom ASICs and FPGAs when it comes to mining, so this is something you could do if you wanted to on a PC with a powerful discrete graphics card. We test over a dozen graphics card to see which has the best hashrate and talk about some of the other things you need to consider like price and power consumption.
