GTX 680 Performance (vray RT) & DirectCompute

The waiting only happens once - the first time the code is run on a particular card/drivers; afterwards it is just as fast to start the render.

Nice! Interesting how the CUDA times are coming in. Thanks Vlado, I look forward to more testing...

I have bad feeling they want to cut off GTX GPU rendering sollutions from happening.

I'm afraid of the same thing, Dadal.

I wonder if it will kick them back in the ass since a lot of people simply wont buy quatro/tesla and go to ATI - once they finnaly start working...

This is exactly what I'm hoping will happen. The only thing that would mess it up is if ATI pulls the same stunt and we end up having to choose between two over-priced "professional" platforms for GPU rendering.

Hoping it doesn't go that way,

you'll have the option to stockup on more, and by then, more affordable gtx 580's

Thanks Vlado for the interesting tests... though I would have expected better results ;-(
