	Nvidia released the production 295.73 driver earlier today. Has anybody been brave enough to try it yet? I'm becoming a chicken in my old age and am waiting to hear what some of you youngsters have to say about it. I would hate to install it and have my CUDA, Opencl, and Roxio video act up and have to regress it. ____________ I don't buy computers, I build them!!

	I'm giving it a try, and I never let my monitor sleep, so hopefully I won't encounter Claggy's problem. To bad I have no Cuda work to knaw on yet. Steve ____________ Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website

	No problem when the screen blanks on my laptop - either by closing the lid (computation set to continue), or under a Power Option control. Not sure what the internal screen interface is classed as - the only external connector is HDMI.

	Sorry, NOT BRAVE ENOUGH lol Hi Siliconflux, welcome to the forums, Me I'm running 275.50, which doesn't work so well with Milkyway's OpenCL app, yet works real good here on S@H... Where as 290.53 works terrible here and great on Milkyway, go figure... ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	I was brave enough, but have the arrows in my back to prove it. Same issue that Claggy describes. As soon as the DVI connected monitor goes to sleep, then the CUDA device disappears. Been reporting hundreds of bad work. A belated sorry to my wingmen. Going back to 285.62. Cheers, Keith ____________

Not sure what the internal screen interface is classed as - the only external connector is HDMI. SIV will tell you. Have a look at *Menu->Machine->GPU Mapping* the active display is the one with the orange blob. I guess I am lucky, my test system is OK with 295.73 but I am going to leave the main one on 285.62. All 3 of it's displays are classed as DVI but 2 are just dummy DVI connectors (http://rh-software.com/siv_dvi.png).

	Had no trouble with 295.51 under HDMI. May try this new beta also.

	Switched all 3 systems last night, had some display issues that I had to reboot all the rigs to correct, but CUDA seems OK so far. Mostly running Collatz at the moment because of the usual problems here, but overall, I'd say so far, so good. ____________

	have been running it since the day before no problems with it I have my machines in the farm set to no power management or screen saver on monitor that turns off is the one on the main terminal no problems with cuda not being available upon resume ____________ Gimme BEER and WU's!!!!
