Do you know why the ATI boards perform better? Nvidia has devoted more transistors and R&D to their GPGPU functions. Has no one coded directly to CUDA?

I don't know. It's always been a mystery to me. People have been surprised that I prefer ATI for parallel computing since, "Nvidia is so much better at it". (You probably looked, but the mining hardware comparison ATI consistently better as well.)
