Might be a bit late to answer, but I have been using an EVGA GTX 670 SC (which is slightly overclocked) for about a month. I also use the 301.42 driver for the card. Other specs: Intel i7-3820 @ 4.3 GHz 16 GB of RAM Windows 7 64-bit I usually run GPUGRID during the day while idle and through the night. I run all the applications available and so far my times have been pretty fast. For long-runs, it takes about 5-7 hours, depending on the task. The standard tasks run for about 2-5 hours also. The beta tasks take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours or so. Note that the times do range, and as of now I'm crunching many beta tasks so I couldn't give too precise of times on the other tasks. As for heating, the card stays at about 67 degrees Celsius during long-runs and doesn't go higher. The card load is at about 90-95% during long-runs, also, and ranges around 50% during beta tasks. The only problems I've had are driver crashes when stopping the beta tasks that have come up recently, which are the Noelia tasks. Hope this helped. |

Dylan: When comparing your GTX670 long runs to my GTX570 long runs clearly your 670 is slightly faster. However, your CPU times seem extremely large compared to mine. I am guessing that my Q9550 (4 core non-hyperthread) has more cache available than your 8 core i7-3820? I wonder if there is going to be a big improvement with CUDA5? We are both running CUDA42 gpugrid app. |

I'm pretty sure my CPU times are larger because I didn't give a core to the GPU, and instead gave all 8 to another project. Up until now I never really thought about it, and will try to fix it as soon as I can. Thanks for the notice. |

6XX cards always use a full core so if you set BOINC to use 1 less thread than your CPU has available your other projects that use CPU only will process much better! Thanks - Steve |
