You should have tested a Geforce GTX570 or GTX580 as well for some potential surprises.
You would have found out for example that on LuxMark they are both faster than the GTX680.

My gtx 460 is as fast as a gtx 680 in the sala scene with less crapy drivers.
(the 275.xx were the last good ones nvidia did not fix this regression since a year or so XD)

RAGE I guess nvidia will never fix that

this regression

Is this the reason that the HD 7950 is so much faster in every test than the 680?

Wow, what a nice link.

no the gtx680 just seems to be slow @ gpgpu. ^^ Nvidia just focused on gaming with this card.

Well I hate it, don't want to buy "professional quadro/tesla/whatever-cards" for gpgpu
