    680 seems to have more CUDA cores as Mediawhateverespresso uses CUDA, right?
    It's definitely fast.

    Apparently, this test is compute throughput limited. The scaling to the GF110 follows the FLOPs doubling.

    Yes, MediaEspresso 6.5 uses CUDA for Nvidia and APP for AMD cards.

    O Canada!
    Might that be due to an encode engine...?

    Does the one in Tahiti work with Media Espresso 6.5 yet?

    Neither do I.
    Nvidia has always followed method similar to intels tick tock. (nv20 new architecture, nv25 speed upgrade.)
    Fermi was new architecture, so Kepler is the upgrade part and Maxwell will be something else.

    I bet the scheduling nonsense of old has been deleted.

    This is a non-argument. Same applies to AMD's stuff.

    Yep, just like NV40 to G70 and G80 to GT200.

    So all we had to do to calculate the performance of the GTX 680 was take the numbers from a GTX 580 and multiply by three? Well, don't we look foolish now. We could have saved ourselves over 3200 posts of discussion if we had only known. :p

    Err... multiply by 3? Having 3x ALUs doesn't increase performance by 3x, especially when the Fermi ALUs are hotclocked and these aren't, not to mention other possible differences

    Of course it does, ask RenderStream experts.

    That is a 6990 and the other a 680 (I suppose)

    What we should get there? That a single-vga is shorter than a dual?

    This thread has gone downhill since the leaks started coming out. I think everyone needs to calm down until reviews by more popular sites (anandtech, hardocp, techpowerup, techreport, hardwareheaven, hardwarecanuks) get their official reviews online.
