It doesn't look like the 6xx series is working so well for dnetc.

http://bugs.distributed.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4507

Apparently they changed the design of the GPU, and while they do have 
more cores now, they removed instructions (or something) that DNETC 
needs for faster computations.  IIRC, it's kinda like when Intel removed 
the ROT function from the P4 CPU's.  They had a higher clock speed, but 
because of the ROTate function was not there, the keyrate was much slower.
