Seems there is not lot difference between running a GTX 480 or a GTX 680 on cuda 4.2 , at this time, i think. Will that be improved in future ?


The test WU is a very small system and the additional overhead of Win 7 is probably enough to hide the performance benefit. On a nice Linux system, however, the 4.2 app on 680 should have ~1.6x over a 480, even on these WUs.

Changed it. Surprised I missed that... Ran about 5-7 seconds longer with other cores being used for WCG. So 60-61 WCG suspended amd 65-67 with it running on 6 threads I believe. Oh and RZ, mine apparently had swan sync =0 working as well. Didn't change any settings manually.

There is more CPU usage at the start and finish of the GPU tasks, so the performance of longer tasks might differ. I expect they would be less effected by running CPU tasks (especially when using 6threads from 8). So having 2 free or 8 free might make very little difference for the normal GPUGrid tasks on the 4.2app.
Worth checking again though; some presumptions may have to change when the apps changes.
