Badaboom yes or no?

Answer: No.

Go x264 or go home.

Those graphs don't really say anything. x264 is slower but higher quality. What about dropping x264's quality to the same levels so their speeds can actually be compared?

If gpu encoding is faster over x264 at the same quality and speed is a high priority, no one would blame you for using it. But in general, that wouldn't be the case and misinformation/misunderstandings lead to stuff like this :-\

Compared to Baddaboom its faster and better. Mediacoder is twice as fast though.

You mean nvcuenc. Mediacoder is just a crappy GUI.

Single core 1.8 GHz & 8800GT is more or less silly anyway. That CPU will bottleneck the GPU, and so reducing the benefit of badaboom in the first place. All-in-all the advise to get a better CPU isn't a bad one; Even if you insist on using badaboom and its mediocre quality.

Try OC your 144 to 3GHz

The ONLY use of Badaboom is to free your cpu for more important things.
