	Yesterday i had for a test a GTX 280. I thought I had an extraordinary time for a WU. But after 1 hour on Server 2003 R2 x64, the WU shows a time of 4% after 1 hour!!!! I thought i'm going crazy! Why we have some poor performance on windows? I'm not the only one to have some poor results on Windows x64. With a GTX 260 on Ubuntu64, i've got 4% in 20 minutes!! Have you some information about those poors performance on windows x64? Can we hope to have a new application in some days? Jim PROFIT

Jim PROFIT Stefan had problems with the clock of the G260 which was going into saving mode. I think that you may be experiencing the same problem. I don't know if you can check the shader frequency while running. gdf

I don't know if you can check the shader frequency while running. gdf It's not he same problem. If i remember his problem is on Linux with the PowerMizer function. I don't find any solution for this problem, bu it seems that the frequency stay on the Maximum Performance mode when i look in the NVidia-settings panel. For Windows, if i use Gpu-z or Riva-tuner monitor, all the frequencies are at the maximum. So i don't know were is the problem. Jim PROFIT

Jim PROFIT if you can let it finish, so that we can look at the output. gdf

	I think i have a part a the problem. My motherboard have 2 PCI-E slots. If i use the second one, the 2 PCI-E slots switch on x8. And i use the second PCI-E! So i will switch the card to the first one, and see if i have a better time. Jim PROFIT

	I don't think that this a problem for our application. gdf My WU was on error because when i restart the computer after switching the card to the first PCI-E, i forgot to suspend the task, and without drivers, why i don't know, the drivers were here before reboot, the WU restarted but immediately with an error. But after some minutes, i can see 1% after 10 minutes. On Ubuntu, 10 minutes and it's was more than 1% (almost 1,270%). Right now, on Ubuntu after 23 minutes it's 3.700%, and on Windows after 20 minutes it's 1.911%. So i can say that the Windows application is very slow! But it's better than i had the card running on the bus at x8. Jim PROFIT
