And they released another new version again today. They seem to be getting faster and faster with each release but don't have results from today's yet.

Look at his CPU power, 81 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz with 32 cores. That makes a total of 2592 cores!!!!
In light of the current Asteroids challenge, Zombie do you think I should run them on your old GTX 590? I mean, is it worth it?
If you're participating in the Einstein challenge, should definitely save GPUs for that. If you're not entering Einstein and want the best possible results on Asteroids, then yes, use your GPUs. The credits are horrible, but it's more credit than you would've gotten without it. The GPU WUs use extremely little CPU resources, so if you're like me with 4 GPUs in the same box, you could load all 8 CPU threads up and all 4 GPUs and crunch 12 Asteroids WUs at the same time.
Understood, thanks. So in a challenge situation it *may* be worth it, depending on the hardware you own (in your case it gives a 50% boost) but if just looking for a GPU project to run, then it doesn't pan out. I wonder if they will get it efficient enough where it's worth running on a GPU sometime in the future?
