Can someone test this with CuLu?

NVIDIA is rolling out its latest GeForce software update, which adds professional features for applications such as Maya, unlocking "3X more performance" for the software.

Sounds like it is very specific features that this application Maya uses, probably not 3 times performance for everything else.

Here's the original blog post by Nvidia.
Note them saying "...applications like Maya...", so it should not be a specific software optimisation.

From what I've pieced together, the aforementioned driver boosts half-precision (FP16) performance for Pascal Titan X, but that's not used much in CUDA programs for GIMPS, right?
