Got me a new Nvidia 760 GTX for Christmas and was wondering if anybody knows the "sweet" spot for the # of GPU tasks you can run at once? Currently I am running 2 with the .5 setting and my video card temp never goes over 63 degrees celcius due to the ACX cooling system on the card.

Thanks!

I'm running three MB at a time; or 1 AP and 2 MB at a time. All is fine with my (EVGA) GTX-760. GREAT card!!! :-)

It really depends on the rest of your system, it is two or three. Start with one, get a feeling for the processing times over a few days, increase to two, and wait a few more days, then try three and see what that looks like on your system. While there is plenty of memory to do four or more I can't think of anyone who is getting a sensible throughput beyond three as you start to run into processor swap issues and data transfer problems across the motherboard/GPU interfaces

Yeah 3 seems like the sweetspot. I have an i7 2600k so I am running 3 GPU tasks and 8 CPU tasks at once and no issues with heat. I appreciate all the feedback and help!
