NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 "Kepler" On Linux?

[DiaperJe|\|i3]

So the 7970 is probably faster than the GTX 680 with this driver set. Interesting!

[d.a.a.]

AMD results are not available for these GPGPU results since the AMD OpenCL/APP SDK was being problematic under Linux at the time,

What kind of problem? JuliaGPU and SmallPt run without problems on my HD7970/HD6970 GPUs (I'm running Debian GNU/Linux, fglrx 12-3).

Also, I would like to see some OpenCL double-precision float point benchmarks, as this type of workload is very important for scientific computation.

The 295.33 driver is available in the Ubuntu-X-Swat PPA for easy installation by users of Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

It's nice of Nvidia to send Phoronix a card. Now if they'd only enable OC'ing in their binary drivers and show Nouveau a little love

NVIDIA will be releasing 295.33 in a few hours with official support.

So we are waiting

@ olbi: The support which the article is about, is unofficial. The 680 indeed isn't listed as supported.

On the official there ins't any binary driver for Linux now. Look self:

So don't write in news, that it is supported.

You may be slightly off there, check our commit logs :-)

And David Airlie just asked Linus to pull these changes along with Nouveau's de-staging

That sure will make a nice announcement

Modesetting support.
