Hello there, I'm a long time lurker who figured out to register just to write what I found about NVidia GTX 6xx computing performance.
I was browsing various forums for choosing my next GPU and I found a link to a famous site, reporting that:
So nvidia puts a limiter on his desktop cards (only on not-32bit operations) just because they don't want the professionals to buy them at a much cheaper cost than quadro cards! I'm just speechless.. I don't think I'm ever buying a nvidia card again.
