I think the tests should be run on windows to see if the driver is holding the cards back in Linux.

( oh ya, you would see Titan results on openbenchmarking if Micheal ever figures out the login issue).

Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostOne thing people really don't seem to realize about GPGPU processing is even if you have something cross-platform like openCL, the process you're running is heavily dependent upon the hardware, NOT the drivers. Drivers make a difference but there's only so much they can do. A good example of this is bitcoin mining - it's an incredibly simple calculation, so AMD's overall higher frequency and higher stream processor count has a noticeable impact on bitcoin mining versus nvidia.
Nowadays Kepler and GCN cards uses cached memory and have a scalar ISA, which should make them much more "coherent" from a performance perspective except in some niche aera (for instance integer are much faster on radeon than geforce), but it's not really apparent in these benchmark.
