Here are all my GPU benchmarking results, and also the speed ratio of GPUs and CPUs, for good measure.

GPU: HD6990 underclocked 830/1250 -> 738/1250, undervolted 1.12V -> 0.96V. assuming 320W power usage
CPU: WindMaster's 4 year old dual Xeon, assuming 80W power usage. In reality it's probably more, but newer processors achieve the same performance with less power usage.

Code:
N      GPUspeed    CPUspeed     GPU/CPU power-efficiency ratio
32     10.02 MH/s  358.8 kH/s   6.98
64     6.985 MH/s  279.2 kH/s   6.25
128    3.949 MH/s  194.0 kH/s   5.1
256    2.004 MH/s  119.2 kH/s   4.2
512    1.060 MH/s  66.96 kH/s   3.95
1024   544.2 kH/s  34.80 kH/s   3.9
2048   278.7 kH/s  18.01 kH/s   3.88
4096   98.5 kH/s   9.077 kH/s   2.72
8192+  0 H/s       4.595 kH/s   0

GPUs are getting comparatively slower bit by bit, until (as I've stated in an earlier post) at N=8192, GPU mining seems to break altogether.

EDIT: Replaced GPU/CPU ratio with a more useful power-efficiency ratio.
