Hmmmmm. Maybe I take that back. Reading from "CUDA Programming Guide Version 3.0" (http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/3_0/toolkit/docs/NVIDIA_CUDA_ProgrammingGuide.pdf), I see:

For devices of compute capability 1.x, a multiprocessor consists of:
8 CUDA cores for integer and single-precision floating-point arithmetic
operations,
(Appendix G.3, page 142)

For devices of compute capability 2.0, a multiprocessor consists of:
32 CUDA cores for integer and floating-point arithmetic operations,
(Appendix G.4, page 146)

So maybe David's way is the only officially-sanctioned one. But if you have to derive it from the Compute Capability, shouldn't the test be (prop.major>=2)?

The 'compute capability' for a Fermi is 2.0: it's the 'CUDA version' which has gone up to 3000 or above. That's a software number (from '__cuDriverGetVersion'), not hardware (from '__cuDeviceComputeCapability').

my 470 is showing as 726 GFLOPS up from 128 (going from .43 to .45 clients).

certainly not as cool as my 2TFLOPS from each 5850.....

that look right?
