Mike's Stuff

Just got delivery of this SanDisk Extreme A1 V30 microSD card and quickly tested it on Crystal Disk Mark: The specs say this can reach 100 MB/s.. so not too far off!. So threw it in the Nikon P900 camera which was the main reason i bought it. Wanted to see if i could get burst shooting writes faster as they really slowed the camera down. It did not disappoint .. its prob double as fast as my other microsSD's i have tested before. Here is the A1 writing after burst shot: Here is another Sandisk Ultra 80 to compare: Honestly thought the camera was the bottleneck as i have tried a few with similar results., So happy with this card. :)

A nvidia 780ti fell into my hands.. so replaced the 560ti in my pc and ran up blender to see some render action.. So lets see what a 980 and 780ti can do. Default CPU i7 as comparison got 5 min  Default BMW test render got 45 sec.     512x256 tile size test got 39.5 sec. Big improvement over the 560ti.. Also ran the tests in the CUDA version of Blender.

Here are some burst shooting tests with the 64Gb SanDisk Ultra 80 MB/s microSDXC UHS-I. Tested in both Sports and Bird watching modes, 16M and 8M size.   I believe the Sandisk is slightly faster then the 64GB Silicon Power 85MB/s MicroSDXC UHS-1 Class1 i tested earlier.
