To all the Nvidia F@H GPU crunchers

[sparks]

If you are not running the latest Nvidia drivers, you need to upgrade. I have a 8800GTS 512 and I was running 177.41 and getting approximately 3000 PPD. I recently upgraded to the latest WHQL V177.83 and now I am getting 5760 PPD.

Hey sparks

Thanks for the QT...

Running a EVGA 8800GT (o/c'ed to 740) w/drivers slightly below what you are linking to.

Getting around 5,400 ppd

Will keep in mind - mebbe it will squeeze a couple of hundred ppd more out of this great folding card!

Do regular Nvidia WHQL drivers work with the GPU client, or are CUDA drivers required?

 

[Philippart]

CUDA drivers are required, the latest regular drivers (starting from 177.35) include CUDA.

Thanks for the info, sparks and Philippart

No increase for me on my 8800gts. Still getting my normal 3800 average.

When you guys compare numbers with each other, be sure to understand your CPU type and speed will (very significantly) affect the PPD from a given card running the GPU2 client.

Thanks for the link. Does the affinity setting have any impact on performance? Nv_fah_affinity?

Just curious,
