Compute Performance

As I said in the MSI R9 380 review, I doubt people are picking up R9 380’s for their compute power. But I did still run the PowerColor through our Compute benchmarks in Folding @ Home. This will help give users considering adding one to their folding array they can see how it performs and as well as those of you who do some video editing on the side. The higher memory capacity of the PowerColor makes no difference here so the MSI did have a slight lead with its slight overclock advantage. That said in the single precision testing the 380’s performed great in comparison to the GTX 780. In the double precision testing the GTX 780 dominated but the 380’s did get respectably close to the gimped GTX 980.
