I did some research and couldn't find a definitive answer to that, but I
wouldn't put it beyond Apple to use that many in MacOS in 2017. Perhaps
someone on this list knows.
But is that "too slow" opinion based just upon the OMP p/s, or the
OpenCL figure as well? Since I'm already a convert to OpenCL and going
to run with that, as long as the OpenCL numbers look good I won't stress
out about it. But if those figures also seem too small for the presumed
iterations then I'll definitely be looking for assistance to diagnose
that.

Definitely. I'm leaning towards a GTX 1070, having built several Oculus
Rift and HTC Vive VR workstations at this point, it seems to be the
sweet spot at the moment. And one with a blower-exhaust design (vs. a
"churn" design), like the Asus card which I've had great success with.
However this is a low-priority and not happening anytime soon, so for
the time being I'm looking to squeeze out as much performance from my
existing hardware as I can.
