You forgot it sucks at milkyway too. Oh but there's more good news, for the guys over at Folding@Home it doesn't work at all. And even more good news (you're gonna throw in the towel on this one) it appears that when Nvidia sent all the review sites sample GTX 680s and drivers, the drivers were better for the reviews, than what was actually released to the general public. Specifically, even on a brand new X79 motherboard with a brand new SB-E CPU full of PCIe 3.0 slots, the GTX 680 will only run at PCIe 2.0 speeds. I think now we can call it a day
