Hi Filip,

I will have benchmarks for the AMBER website soon. Expect about 20% or so
performance boost over a K20X - so something around 115 to 120ns/day or so
for DHFR NVE on a single GTX 780 <cough>Titan</cough> card.

The double precision performance makes little difference these days for
AMBER since we switched to our fixed precision model:

Grand, S.L.; Goetz, A.W.; Walker, R.C.; "SPFP: Speed without compromise -
a mixed precision model for GPU accelerated molecular dynamics
simulations", Chem. Phys. Comm., 2013, 184, pp374-380, DOI:
10.1016/j.cpc.2012.09.022
http://www.wmd-lab.org/papers/2012_10_Comp_Phys_Comm_SPFP_Paper.pdf


So the thing to look at mostly is the single precision clock speed, core
count and memory bandwidth.


I hope to have numbers for a 4 way box of these in a month or so. It
should be awesome! although availability will be a pain in the butt for a
few months I am sure.

All the best
Ross
