I have a kill-a-watt and my UPS has a display on it so I can get specifics but that means I need to shut them down to plug in the meter. Earth and Saturn are on the same UPS and it shows ~400W load so since they are nearly identical I'm just splitting the load in half.

I also run it on three Dell servers that run virtual servers (two of them run ESXi 5.0, the other runs Hyper-V 2012). These are on a 1500VA UPS that with just the three of them plus a monitor and switch nearly max it out. I'd guess about a 750W load total? Here's them as best I can describe them using your format.
Computer: BOINC 1

RAM: 16GB in the server, 1.5GB assigned to VM

All total I do about 400K PPD with this setup. That's with four GPUs and some decent 8 core systems too. Sure the VM overhead doesn't help those Dell servers but still. How is it with one system you do 100K less than EVERYTHING I have? Is that GPU really that much better? I would have thought it would be on par or so with my 6870 and especially considering the two 5830s and GTS 450, I would have expected to blow right past you or do you have multiple systems with that setup and didn't show that? |

975K is simply unreal for a single machine.
How many instances is that GPU able to handle at one time?
I ran the GPU Temp tool as per this article:
»app_info. x m l Creation
Seems all three of video cards are between 90-98% so 1 will be max. Until sometime in the future if i make an upgrade.
At 975K it seems a lot more efficient to run a machine like that then the three I am currently running that are getting just a fraction of that amount. |

Nvidia has very poor OpenCl driver support. I doubt even a 690 could come close to what a 7970 could do. JMHO. I know some other crunchers who are running 7990s, which is a dual GPU like the 690. Far better than a 690 but not as good as dual 7970s.

" I know some other crunchers who are running 7990s, which is a dual GPU like the 690."
I would think with dual GPU you would be able to do 32 tasks running simultaneously (16 for each GPU) instead of 16 or is this not the case?
I know at this time the 7970 is around $400 and for the results it is putting out it is a real bargain. |

kudos:2 | The amount of tasks you can run is more governed by the CPU and the mobo memory when you get to the high end cards like a 7990. If you had a high end CPU like the new 3960 hex core and quad channel memory you might be able to run 32 tasks but it would probably bottleneck anything less and reduce efficiency.

if you shop around and are patient you can find deals on 7970s for less than $350. |

Seems like my old imacs with Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB are obsolete.

Unfortunately if you want to run HCC GPU tasks you'll need at least a 5xxx series card if you want to run ATI. |
