nVidia have finally released the WHQL driver which should have the DVI sleep fix.

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

So far it looks OK on http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6379711 which has GTX 680, GTX 460 and 8400 GS GPUs.

Nice thanks for the heads up. I'm running 301.34 on my 670's. Just had the monitor sleep set to none. I'll update and give it a try later today.

So far the XP 32 bit version is running okay on my 670. I didn't have the sleep bug with 301.25 (XP 32bit) which shipped with my card - think it was fixed in the 301 betas.

Thanks for the heads up!

They should have waited until Friday to release this driver. As it is obviously the answer.
I am glad they finally fixed the memory size reporting issue for my GT 8500 256MB card.

I believe it's been fixed. I've been holding off with 285 WHQL release for a long time

I've updated one of my crunchers running a GT440 and it seems to have improved the RAC by at least 1000 or more.

Any changes in RAC at the moment are more likely to be due to the recent outage & the raising of the serverside limits a few weeks ago.
With people now being able to keep more than a day or two's work it will take a while for RAC to settle down again as caches fill up & turn around time increases.

Running GPU-Z, and keeping its window open/active, will also keep it from going into sleep mode. These latest drivers didn't fix the snooze (clock drop) on my GTS 250.

But clocks are supposed to drop if you're not utilizing the GPU, it's normal. If you want maximum performance _ALL_ the time set Power Management in the NVIDIA control panel to Prefer Maximum Performance

Processing a WU means the GPU is being utilised.
Sleep mode for a monitor is due to lack of input from the keyboard or mouse.

Been set from the beginning and still set.

Sleep mode for a monitor is due to lack of input from the keyboard or mouse.

Sleep mode is disabled. I manually turn off the monitor. Been doing that for years.

I see the GPUs go down only if they are doing nothing.
IE, Seti has crashed, no cache, nothing to do.
Then I see them ramp down.

I have never had a problem with them coming back up when there is work to do.

But, I am running 290.53.......never had the sleepy bug.
It was and probably still is an eternal beta driver.

I shall run it until it is impossible to do so.
I might have to recant to run the newest Jason thingys.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Downclocking and sleep mode are different problems, with different causes and different solutions.
