Nice, but I can't justify a purchase like that for myself.

As my $300aud cards are edging me ever closer to 101K, my 2500K rig (49.4K) is closing the gap the 3570K rig had (51.3K, less than 2K difference now).

Cheers.

Hi,

I know my purchare is not justifiable by any means, but ..
What can you do if you want to develop SW for the bleeding edge.

Well after the last 2 outrages and the return of GBT work my RAC is starting to look more like what I'd expect.

Currently my 3570K rig is down to 48.9K, the 2500K rig is down to 47.2K for a combined total RAC of 96.1K.

Now I just have to wait to see how far it will drop down to with all this GBT work around.

Cheers.

My GPUs are out of work. One of them could do a guppi vlar in about 105 seconds and the rest of them do them in 140 seconds.
I love my newest present.

And yes,

Any idea if the Integer performance of the GP100 trickled through to the 1080/1080ti GP102 variants (despite no HBM)? Just updated my Matlab license for other stuff I do, and this time it came with fixed point designer...

Why do people keep asking me this same silly question when when it has already been answered? (more times than I care to remember in fact) :-(

Different threads, different days, weeks, months, years.

Maybe put the answer in your signature?

Wiggo I recently acquired an I5 6400 box with a GT 730, after I pay my property tax this month I hope to replace it with a GTX 1060. Do you have any good ideas how much more throughput the 1060 will have compared to my GTX 660?

I think that my 660's were good for a RAC of 12-13K each, if I remember rightly (they'll be fired up again soon as winter approaches here), while the 1060's are good for 20K each while using 15% less power than the 660's.

Cheers.

Well after the fortnight's hiccups and a steady diet of GBT work my RAC has leveled off down around 84K (much more reasonable than that Arecibo only diet of >100K).

The 3570K rig is @ 42.6K and the 2500K rig @ 41.5K.

Now that winter approaches here I've fired the Borg (Athlon II X4 630) up again tonight with the GTX 660's installed plus Lunatics 45 beta 6 and as soon as 6 months worth of updates have completed I'll find out if I've botched the app_info.xml edits or not.

I'll be able to give you a better answer to your question in a few weeks time Betreger. ;-)

Well my EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 03G-P4-6160-KR, 3GB GDDR5 is coming sooner than I thought. The GT 730 is starting to show signs of losing it's video, it is still crunching OK though so I ordered the new card yesterday. What appealed to me was the short size and ball bearing fan. I do have reservations about the factory OC.

The GTX 1060 arrived yesterday afternoon and was installed. Currently it is running Einstein as is my GTX660. I was expecting it to be 40 to 50% more powerful than the 660. Preliminary results show it to be producing about 4 times as much. My guess is Nvidea improved the open Cl on this series because the increase in cores and clock speeds don't add up to that increase.

Much higher clock speed 	1,544 MHz 	vs 	823 MHz 	Around 90% higher clock speed
Significantly more memory 	6,144 MB 	vs 	2,048 MB 	3x more memory
Higher effective memory clock speed 	8,008 MHz 	vs 	5,600 MHz 	Around 45% higher effective memory clock speed
Significantly higher pixel rate 	74.1 GPixel/s 	vs 	19.75 GPixel/s 	More than 3.8x higher pixel rate
Much higher turbo clock speed 	1,759 MHz 	vs 	888 MHz 	Around 2x higher turbo clock speed
Better floating-point performance 	3,953 GFLOPS 	vs 	1,896.2 GFLOPS 	More than 2x better floating-point performance
Much better video composition score 	113.77 frames/s 	vs 	39.31 frames/s 	Around 3x better video composition score
Higher texture rate 	123.5 GTexel/s 	vs 	79 GTexel/s 	More than 55% higher texture rate
Significantly higher memory clock speed 	2,002 MHz 	vs 	1,400 MHz 	Around 45% higher memory clock speed
More render output processors 	48 	vs 	32 	16 more render output processors


I think 4x is too little a difference.
The difference should be like (clock)1.9*(mem)1.45*(fp)2*(rop)1.5 = about 8.2 or 5.5 if rop does not count.
With a right kind of software you could see that.
But if the sw doesn't use all SMM/SMX units the gain will be lower.

But there is some potential in the 1060!

Hi again,

A 1060 is half of a 1080 (10 vs 20 SM units).

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=2505776655

The performance is amazing. A 1060 is a bit more efficient. The price is less than half.

My 3570K rig is now over 45K, the 2500K is over 43K and the Borg has now passed 12.5K after almost 10 days.

I'm also up to 111th spot by total and 107th by RAC.
