Just to let you know that i am using the latest 6.6.2 BOINC client and the 181.22 WHQL Nvidia drivers. I am using dual GTX280 cards and with SLI disabled it uses both of the GPU's to do the WUs. if i enable SLI, the PC will blue screen around every 40 minutes and from analysing the crash dump it's the Nvidia driver at fault. So, all in all, i am finally very happy with the CUDA implementaion in BOINC and it seems to work very, very well !

u dont have the stuttering windows problem? can you watch an entire movie on that computer without it lagging to bits whenever boinc finishes and starts a new workunit? |

I have a 7600GT in a PCIe 4x slot to drive my monitor and an 8800 GTS in a 16x PCIe 2.0 slot, just for CUDA. It's a GIGABYTE EP43-DS3R motherboard. For the most part, I think this works very well. I have not noticed any lagging issues, but I have experienced the screen "de-pixelization" and video lockups that have been mentioned in other threads (a nagging VLAR issue, I believe). BOINC/Seti versions 6.4.5 and 6.08 and current Nvidia drivers. edited: "works very well"...but NOT nearly as well as dual GTX280's would! Martin |
