How is DP performance on 670s? Given DP performance on 680s, I would expect that DP performance on the 670 would be worse than the 680. Wow, you guys are attentive. I missed the appearance of the 670. Must have blinked. Looks like it'll be 80% the speed of a 680. Any news about GpuGRID support for GTX 680 (under linux) ? Coming soon. There were big problems with recent (295.4x) Linux drivers that rather nixed things for us for a while. MJH ID: 24793 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Last modified: 8 May 2012, 7:01:48 UTC I might have suggested the release of a Windows app and worry about the Linux app when new drivers turn up, if it wasn't for the fact that NVidia are not supporting WinXP for their GeForce 600 cards. What's the performance like on Win7? Is there still a ~15% loss compared to Linux? It looks like the GTX670 will be released on the 10th May. Hopefully supply will be able to meet demand and prices of both the GTX680 and GTX670 will be competitive. If it turns up at ~£320 the GTX670 is likely to be a card that attracts more crunchers than the GTX680 (presently ~£410), but all this depends on performance. I expect it will perform close to a GTX580, but use less power (~65 or 70% of a GTX580). I'm in no rush to buy either, saying as an app for either Linux or Windows hasn't been released, and the performance is somewhat speculative.

Ok guys, we are ready and tomorrow can work on it. Today we compiled the latest version of the acemd passing all the tests. The drivers are still quite poor for linux, but it's workable for a beta. gdf ID: 24815 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Know its been hard with the driver issues. Is there a timeframe for a Windows beta app yet? I've got another 680 on the way, and a 670 being purchased soon. Would love to be able to bring them over here. Thanks ID: 24840 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

GTX 680 - Drivers 295.49 Archlinux kernel 3.3.5-1-ARCH The failed workunits are 'ordinary' long tasks, which use the old application, no wonder they failing on your GTX 680. You should set up your profile to accept only beta work for a separate 'location', and assign your host with the GTX 680 to this 'location'. ID: 24853 · Rating: 0 · rate: /
