13-Way NVIDIA OpenCL Performance & Perf-Per-Watt From Fermi To Maxwell

Here's the system power consumption and GPU thermal data during the course of all the LuxMark OpenCL benchmarks carried out.

Also a meta performance-per-Watt based upon the three OpenCL tests used today:

So that's that for the data to share today; basically just prep data while waiting for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070/1080 testing under Linux to see how Pascal evolves compared to Maxwell/Kepler/Fermi. If you wish to see how your own system's OpenCL compute performance compares, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1605111-HA-NVIDIAOPE70. If you appreciate all of the Linux hardware testing we do at Phoronix, consider showing your appreciation (and making it possible to do more tests, including buying Pascal cards if needed) by tipping or joining Phoronix Premium. Hopefully next week we'll be able to share Pascal data. If you missed the larger OpenGL comparison from earlier in the week, go check it out.
