Today will not be the end of the world but a GeForce GTX 660 Ti overclocked by ASUS : yum!

ASUS GeForce GTX 660 Ti DCII TOP

Following this thread, here are the Blender testing results running on the Cube computer

1 minute 20 seconds of GPU rendering using the GeForce GTX 570 video card

2 minutes 31 seconds of CPU rendering using the i7-920 processor overclocked @ 3.2GHz

The Cube WorkStation is upgraded with the NVIDIA GTX 570 GPU

Blender benchmark are still in progress in the wiki, however we can say that the GPU rendering is five times faster than using the Core i7-920 CPU overclocked @ 3.2 GHz .

According here and there , using the reference values measured by Hardware.fr, the temperature and noise estimation, when GPU burns, should be as following :

69°C     (Zotac) =   80°C (NVIDIA factory)      – 11°C (claimed by Zotac)
41,7 dB (Zotac) =  45,7 dB (NVIDIA factory)  – 4 dB (claimed by Zotac)
