How do the GPUs on this compare with NVidia desktop GPUs? Anyone know?

Also, very exciting that they're supporting GPU cloud rendering - that's going to be big for 3D.

Thanks!

My experience is that graphics card stats are a decidedly slippery fish as far as comparison goes.

However, a quick bit of Googling implies that this is almost identical, at least on paper, to a GeForce 770 or 680.

Unfortunately, without knowing more details (clock speed, memory bandwidth) it's hard to say more.

Guess someone (possibly me) needs to benchmark 'em. :)
