My 550 MHz 9400 gt is overclocked to 700MHz and handles it well NVclock is a very useful tool to get the most out of your card Nouveau will not support any of these added features Cuda is a big one since the device handles hardware decoding and with some software will speed up video encoding dramatically I know Win 7 developed the cuda right into the OS to handle video encoding and decoding and I do not know if Fedora is following suit but GPU computing is the way of the future. Nvidia 9400 gt adds 52 gflops of computational speed to the system @ 700 MHz 40 gflops at native speed 9400 gt is a low end card nvidia 295 will blow your mind with 400 gflops added to a system and that is a conservative estimate -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
