Interesting thread there. This seems to happen when you're running something that involves the CPU such as playing a song in WinAmp or WMP. PPD go up by as much as 6000! However, according to the latest post by ihaque, this behaviour is not right and I complete agree with him.

Oh, so that is the problem... Any way to fix it now? I will get the chance to install drivers tomorrow, and have to have it done by thursday or I won't get it done.

Well it seems that they fixed it now with the new core version 1.25
@skier. What's wrong with your 9600GSOs? All the WU I've had using Core14, as well as my friend's GPUs, are fine. In fact, I like these more than the normal cores because they cause less 2D lag (firefox, MSN, etc.)

like i said, it must be the programs i use day-to-day because look at my ppd, im using SMP now, and i used to get 7-9k PPD, now i struggle to get 4K!!!!!!!!
