I just got an eVGA GTX460 Superclocked with the purpose of running Cudas on Fermi. It took some patience to wait for the Lunatics group to make a unified installed for it, but it's now here. This thing is ripping through units very quickly. I also optimized the system by bumping my QX9650 back to 4GHz, tightening the ram timings, and running two Cuda instances at a time on the Fermi. I should see the RAC make a nice recovery on this machine.
On my other machine, an Athlon II X4 630, I'm working my way through OCing the newer AMD chips. The last time I toyed with them was on the K7 Barton series. I've got a Corsair H70 headed this way to water cool it on a reasonable budget, and I'm tweaking all the settings to get the max speed and bandwidth possible for it. Already I've bumped it to 3.4GHz on the stock cooler, up from 3.08GHz on the bios auto-OC and it's 2.8GHz stock speed. One of my GTS 250s has migrated to that machine to run 2 Cudas simultaneously as well. It was doing 5200RAC without a GPU. Now I should watch it rise nicely as well.
Basically I'm doing as much as I can to make my rigs run in top form without building a new machine yet. You'll know when that one hits the RAC charts. ;)
