Why 660ti and 1060 Same Render Time in Premiere Pro?

I have been testing render times between my 660ti and new 1060. I have done two tests with both cards, same videos, same settings, and I get almost identical times with both cards.

660ti avg time = 38: 30
1060 avg time = 37:30

Considering that the 1060 is both significantly faster and has 50% more CUDA cores, this seems very odd to me. Anyone have any idea why I might be experiecing this problem? Does it seem odd to you?

(both cards are CUDA enabled in PP settings, FYI) i7 4770k @ 4.0 ; 16gb DDR3 1600
 
Solution
I'm no expert on this but it might be tied to what the GPUs contribute in terms of speed. It might be that certain tasks benefit a lot from GPU power, and other tasks don't. So if your videos don't involve the sorts of things that the GPU does best, performance improvement may hit a wall.
