I can pass you a couple of files to swap. Personally I believe it is just a 
curiosity exercise and nothing great will come out from it but if you insist it 
isfine for me :-)

No, the focus will be supporting QE-GPU on Pascal. Future NVIDIA gaming cards 
based on Pascal architecture will have a huge single precision perfemance (> 
5TFlops per card)  and a decent double precision one as well (~1.4 TFlops). All 
of this needs to be assessed and tested but it is going to be substantially 
better than Maxwell-based cards for codes that need double precision.

Check on google about GTC 1080 for more details. I look forward to try it 
myself!

Never experimented with TCC mode. I suspect it is something that is possible to 
use on GEFORCE and QUADRO products. On TESLA product line double precision 
performance is sadisfactory per se.
