My Cinebench Score for OpenCL was 39.57 fps and the CPU was 6.62pts. This is on my new 550ti. Are these respectable?
1- You mean OpenGL score, don't you? not OpenCL!
2- I am also trying to get an understanding graphic cards...
I ran Cinebench 11.5 and found an OpenGL score of 34.50 fps with a GTX 260 card and i7-2600 CPU.
Checking on this site:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html I find your card and mine are similar, and our scores are similar too.
[EDIT] Another test with HD 6450 card gives me an OpenGL score = 14.19 fps
My CPU score is around 6.80, also similar to yours.
Now the thing that still puzzles me is OpenCL... that thing is so... invisible! Is there even a place in Mac OS X UI where we can see it is ON? Is it only within specific apps that you can see that you are running OpenCL?
I tried to run Luxmarks 2.0, I see things happening on screen, I end up with a score in the 300's (CPU + GPU), but I still feel like a blind man. Is that 300 score any good?
I know OpenCL is more important for my hackintosh as I am not interested one bit in gaming, all I intend to do with it is photo editing (Aperture + plugins) and movie editing (FPC-X) and I am eager to finish tuning it to finally getting started and do interesting things...
... not that learning all this hackintosh stuff, learning a bit of Unix, etc... is not interesting, it is, but there are only a few magic days when I feel I am making progress and then many days in between, reading and reading and feeling I am running in loops.
Well, I hesitate to buy a better gfx card as I don't really know what I am going to get in return. That's why I am trying to get a grasp of OpenCL.
