How large of a performance difference between two different graphic cards

Hey I am in the middle of upgrading my system and I am looking to spend my tax return on0 graphics cards. I am going to run an SLI with either the Nvidia GTX 660 or the GTX 680. Now I realize the 680 is hands down better than the 660 what I want to know is, is it worth the price differance proformance wise. I plan to get two of these and SLI them, here are the two I am looking at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699 - the 660 GTX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127723 - the 680 GTX
I am running CS6 so I want to stay in the 600 series of Nvidia's cards which are on the white list for CS6. I want to choose between these two cards because I am running eyefinity right now and I cannot go back, these support Nvidia Surround out of the box with no adapters needed. Also MSI's heatsinks are fantastic with these cards.
So basically what I am asking is the proformance I will get with 2 of the 680s worth the $500 price differance?
Here is my system as it stands now:
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 3.2 GHz   -> Will upgrade to AMD 9590 x8 5GHz after I buy the graphics cards
16GB Corsair Dominator 8-8-8-20 RAM
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD (main drive)
Corsair 64GB SSD as a scratch disk
2TB WD Black HDD as mass storage
AMD Radion 6790 -> Will upgrade to one of the cards listed above
Windows 8.1

For After Effects, there is no reason to spend the extra money unless you are using one specific feature: the ray-traced 3D renderer. If you're not using that feature, and your focus is After Effects, then spend your extra money on RAM and SSDs.

  • How to calculate the phase difference between two square wave (acquired from two channel in one DAQ)

    Hello everyone ,
     I need a quickly help that as below :
    I am trying use PCI-6220 to acquired six signals from one rotation encoder (channel A, channel B,channel Z ,and their non-signals) .The encoder out signals will be square wave and 4000pulses per revolution. I set it rotation at 300rpm speed. I need show every square wave of six out channels in waveform and measure the A-B phase difference to check if the value is correct (designed value should be 90deg) .
    I have no idea how to measure or calculate the phase difference of two square wave base on synchronizate to acquire these two square wave from two channel on the PCI-6620....
    Anyone can give a idea how to calculate the phase difference with two square wave ?

  • How to calculate the month difference between two date char. in Query?

    Customers would like to see how many months passed between two date type of characteristics (e.g., the month difference between the current date and the scheduled delivery date in the record) and put the result into the column as KF. 
    We would have to grab the fiscal year/period kind of value and then do the subtraction, e.g., if the current date value is 2/28/2008 and the scheduled delivery date value in the record is 12/01/2007, the correct result should be 2 month difference between these two date values, but could someone here give us the technical light on how to make this happen in query design?
    Thanks and we will give you reward points for the correct anwsers!

    Hi Kevin,
    The Badi is RSR_OLAP_BADI.
    You can create an implementation using Transaction  SE18.
    The implementation is per cube and is defined in the filters.
    In the Implementation you have the following methods :
    1. Define : Here you will provide the Keyfigure you need as a virtual one.
    2. Initilialize : Any Init Function you want to do.
    3. Compute. This is called per datarecord and here you can cimpute your value.
    Hope this helps.

    We are invoking a soa service from a BPEL with 10 input parameters and getting the output for only 7 parameters (where 10-7=3 are not returned by service as they are not processed by the service due to invalid input data).
    But the BPEL process should return the 10 payloads with 3 having the failures status.i.e need to find out the difference between input payload and the payload returned by the soa service.
    Can any one tell us, how to achieve this.

  • NVidia Settings for Two Different Graphics Cards?

    I just built a new system for video editing with Adobe CC 2014 including both the Quadro K4000 AND the GeForce GTX780 DirectCU II OC graphics cards. I was wondering what are the best settings in the NVidia control panel for apps such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, Speedgrade, Encore, etc. I see that there are global settings and app specific settings.
    One question I have concerns the CUDA cores. Should I select one graphics card over the other or use the global (all) setting? How does that work? For CUDA, if I select Global, does the system decide automatically which card to use or does it combine the CUDA cores of both cards?? Seems like an important distinction.
    Also, I have two monitors: ASUS PA279 (2560x1440) and a JVC PS-420W (1920x1080) How should these be connected to the computer for best performance and picture quality? Should I use DVI or HDMI connections?
    And, of course, the Quadro K4200 just appeared on the market, which offers almost double the CUDA cores and 4 GB RAM instead of 3 GB on the K4000. Should I return the K4000 and replace with the K4200? price difference not much.
    The rest of my system includes:
    Processor - Intel i7-4930k 6-core 3.4 GHz
    Motherboard - ASUS P9X79-E WS
    RAM - Corsair Dominator 2133 DDR3 64 GB
    System drive - Intel SSD 530 Series 240 GB
    Storage - WD Black 16TB (4x4TB) RAID 0
    UPDATE - I wrote to PNY because it's their Quadro K4000 card, and this was their reply to me:
    Hi Alex,
    Thank you very much for using our NVIDIA Quadro by PNY professional graphics boards, and for contacting PNY Quadro Support.
    Our NVIDIA Quadro K4000 is an excellent choice for supporting Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for video editing. 
    Forgive me, but we do not recommend installing Quadro and GeForce graphics boards together in the same configuration.  That does not mean that you cannot do it, and honestly, in Windows 7, it may actually be OK to have both cards installed (each with its own driver), but we still do not recommend it, and do not support it. 
    Furthermore, I support Quadro products only, not GeForce products, so I do not have a lot more to say about the GeForce card, other than to say that GeForce cards are intended for use supporting games and home use, while Quadro graphics boards are intended for use in workstations, supporting professional applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud 2014.
    I recommend installing the Quadro K4000 into the primary (top) PCIe x16 slot, and to install the latest ODE graphics driver for it:
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77637/en-us
    I recommend using the default settings in NVIDIA control panel.  The system will use the card in the primary slot. While Adobe CC applications are multi-GPU aware, and designed to automatically use the second GPU to improve performance, I feel more confident that you will see a benefit by using a second Quadro card in the secondary PCIe slot.  I do not know whether Adobe CC will use the GeForce GPU to boost performance, or not (as again, this is not supported or recommended). 
    For the Asus PA279, I recommend using a DisplayPort (DP) 1.2 cable (or perhaps a dual-link DVI cable) to connect it to the K4000.  I recommend using a single-link DVI cable (or perhaps a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, together with an HDMI cable) to connect the JVC PS-420W to the K4000.

    What a stubborn machine! Whenever I set the CUDA setting to GTX780 and hit 'Apply' it would jump back to the Quadro. Even after changing the Global setting to the GTX780 and back to Premiere it would do that. After a few times, it finally changed to what I wanted. Now Premiere, AE and Speedgrade are set to GTX780 for CUDA. However, there is a graph that shows GPU Utilization and it shows the Quadro still doing the brunt of the work - about 50-60% compared to the GTX at 5-8%. I suppose that's a different setting I need to change?
    I had both monitors connected to the Quadro. I just put the 2nd display on the GTX. Does it matter? And does it matter what connector type - HDMI, DVI, etc.?
    I set the BIOS to Gen 3 for the slots that the GPUs are in. And enabled 'Above 4G Decoding'. That Quadro is a PCI E 2.0 card. I see a 'little bit' of performance improvement playing back 3 layers of video with effects Magic Bullet Looks and different blending modes. It does not like the Neat Video noise reducer and some of the other effects, though. Still pretty crippled. Maybe a hard drive issue? I've got a 4 x 4 TB RAID 0 WD Black series on the onboard controller. 64 GB RAM is plenty.

    This evening I was trying to see if my daughters information for the App Store could be viewed on my iPhone 5.  I deleted my Apple ID and logged into my daughters Apple ID on my phone.  I inadvertently merged our contact lists in the activation process.  Could some please give me instruction on how to un-merge the two contact lists?  I would like to get this done with least amount of headache and time.  I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3 and my daughter has an iPod Touch (gen 4) running iOS 7.0.3.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't easily unmerge them. make sure you have reset your accounts so that you are both logged into the accounts you should be (your own) and then manually delete the contacts you don't want.

    You probably converted it to a 2D array (A matrix in LabVIEW has a special meaning).
    "Binary" is not very well defined (unless you are looking for the number of bits that are different). What is the datatype? Was it a color image or a greyscale image? Are both arrays the same size?
    How do you define "percentage difference"? Which one of the two is the 100% reference?
    Do you want a new 2D array where each element is the difference of the second array compared to the first (or vice versa), expressed in percentages?
    Do you want to know what percentage of array elements are different between the two arrays?
    Do you want to know the average difference between all array elements?
    All possible interpretations can be easily solved with very little code, but you need to explain in more detail what you actually want?
    Here is a simple solution for case #2, for example (assuming the array have the same size, and we only want a rought estimate, rounded down to the nearest integer percent):
