Works well with 190.xx drivers, and cherry on the sundae, you don't need to switch anymore in vidia control panel, on dual gpu boards, to make your two gpu run each a workunit. | |

Could we go ahead an jump to Cuda 2.3, it is released now. I second the motion! The guys over at Seti are reporting about a 30% speedup on some work units when using cuda 2.3 DLL's and 190.38 driver. I have already cut over 3 machines, just waiting on the others to finish off their cuda work before they get switched over. ____________ BOINC blog | |

I saw a timeline on Cuda releases and it looked like 2.3 is the last release until 3.0 comes out. | |

From the nvidia forum CUDA2.3 seems still a bit too fresh with several issues outstanding. In our benchmarks, it did not give any performance advantage. | |

How will this affect Linux users? The 185.X and 190.X series do not currently work with GPUGrid. Will the 180.X series still work? | |

- Driver 190.xx didn't worked at all on a fresh Vista-64 install. Did you try installing it in safe mode? Bob | |

The guys over at Seti are reporting about a 30% speedup on some work units when using cuda 2.3 DLL's and 190.38 driver. On high end cards the speed up is between 1.8x and 2.8x the speed. This is due to improvements in FFT though and it appears as though GPU grid doesn't use FFT's. Bob | |

From the nvidia forum CUDA2.3 seems still a bit too fresh with several issues outstanding. In our benchmarks, it did not give any performance advantage. New drivers working fine here on XP64 and Win 7 64 Isn't it about time we left 32bit behind? We need 2.3 now...NOW I tells ya. We need the NEWEST and SHINIEST, we won't settle for anything less! :) WOW, glad to get that out. ____________ Radio Caroline, the world's most famous offshore pirate radio station.

Is anyone seeing a speed up with 190? I switched today (no problems, no need to run dry first) and the first WU would yield 11.0k RAC, whereas currently I'm at 9.7k. It's only one WU, though. | |

.......Please confirm this and I will put a news on the main page.... Two WUs through on 190.38 / 6.6.31 / Vista 32 SP1 - no problems so far Regards Zy | |

no speed up... same speed... it seems for a speed up; it has to be built with the 2.3 files. | |

I dont see any difference. The tasks are different and it is difficult to compare actual speed. | |
ID: 11417 | Rating: 0 | rate: / Reply Quote | |
2 more tasks are in and also yield 11k RAC, whereas previously (185.65 and lower) I never broke 10k. | |

It is only one task, so it doesn't mean a lot, but | |

And then there was 2.3! Yes, the 190 series drivers run so well and trouble free on all Win and Linux systems and for all cards.. it'll be a pleasure to use 2.3 right now ;) MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 | |

We will try to update to 2.3 by the end of August, if this prove to fix the fft bug that people is experiencing right now. | |
