The 460's appear to be doing well but can't be sure of that until the WUs are validated.
Correct. The MW GPU app has been optimized for ATI/AMD. The CUDA app they had didn't do much better then their CPU app. There was an attempt to create an OpenCL app for MW's n-Body but that app seems to have been abandoned.
