We are going to upload a new application for cuda4.2 which will support Kepler.
At first it will not be optimized for Kepler, but it will run on it.

This application on Fermi is 15% faster than current production app. A GTX680 on it has the same speed of a GTX580 without changes to the code. Few changes are capable of making the GTX680 at least 10% faster than a GTX580, but the compiler is still too buggy to put it out.

Linux first.

You'd need 295.x, 296.x or as far as I understand the GTX680 301.10. All of them have the sleep bug so you'll need to make sure it doesn't go to sleep or power save mode.

Same here, I stopped worrying about it some time ago. Often Linux is so ridiculously cumbersome.. even it's father has been annoyed recently :p
