Yes, it will affect all radeons, but in practice it's should really only change things on avivo hw (r5xx+) due to the limited number of post dividers on pre-avivo hardware. It's the same algo that was used originally on all radeons, before I added the newer algo; the only tweak is that we prefer higher post dividers rather than lower ones. In practice, it seems the older one works better. I've tested them on a variety of monitors on all my radeon cards (r1xx-evergreen families). Additionally these patches have fixed several bugs where the newer algo did not work properly.
