I want to find out how far I can push my 2 fermi cards (470 & 480). Im interested in finding out which works best 3 wu's a card or 2 wu's a card as its hard to tell at the moment with credit so screwed from the outage.

Are there test wu's I can download and use to test performance..
What is the best way to benchmark performance?

You can make a copy of your Boinc folders, disconnect from the internet and do a testrun with about 10 WU's, calculate average time, restore the backup, change the number of running WU's and try again.

Running 3 at a time gave me the best performance.
