but deleted them from the HDD thinking they will be always available for download Very true... Now for example I can't download nVidia driver worked well w/o writing special letter to them... And all later drivers have bug that seems never be solved... Fortunately I found required installer binaries on one of HDDs... |

Isn't your needed version somewhere here?: NVIDIA Forceware: http://www.filehippo.com/download_nvidia_forceware_vista/ http://www.filehippo.com/download_nvidia_forceware_vista_64/ http://www.filehippo.com/download_nvidia_forceware_xp/ http://www.filehippo.com/download_nvidia_forceware_xp_64/ AMD Catalyst Drivers: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ati_catalyst_xp/ http://www.filehippo.com/download_ati_catalyst_xp_64/ ...

but deleted them from the HDD thinking they will be always available for download I'm currently coming towards the end of an exhaustive test of the new SaH v7 Beta cuda applications with the following WHQL drivers (for Windows XP): 185.85 190.38 197.45 258.96 260.99 266.58 270.61 275.33 280.26 285.58 296.10 301.42 306.23 No nVidia bug found yet, one bug found and eliminated in the cuda22 version of the application. What is this alleged bug that affects "all later drivers" - later than which? |

The question arose because Lunatics GPU builds are to become stock releases, and are being tested at SETI Beta now. Intel did not find a problem, the question is whether compiling with the Intel compiler and some Intel libraries violates the GPL2+ licensing provisions. The extra_note.txt file is what raised the concern, and has to be considered in relation to provisions in Intel's EULA as it applies to developers using Intel tools and libraries. If the situation becomes clear, we'll be able to move to resolve it. Until then, extended discussion is probably counterproductive. Joe |

Joe/Raistmer, does this mean the end of the Lunatics, or will they continue to push the bounds of performance beyond stock?

Evenso stock will always use lowest params to make sure it works on most different hardware. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Later than 26x.xx, 100% CPU busy-wait for OpenCL. Not new. |

Old drivers (at least WHQL ones) are still on the nvidia website, but you have to go through Google to find them. Those stupid drop-down menus NVIDIA have on their website only go down to, what, 280? Examples: http://www.bing.com/search?q=258.96 http://www.bing.com/search?q=197.45 http://www.bing.com/search?q=190.38 http://www.bing.com/search?q=185.85 Notice 3 out of 4 come up on top without even using "nvidia" as a keyword:) Just don't forget to make sure you have the right Windows version and be careful to note if they are laptop or desktop drivers. |

Actually, as Claggy was kind enough to point out to me, the nVidia archive search pages return a maximum of 20 results. That can get you quite far back... For example, the WindowsXP search page for my 9800GT gets back to 190.38 if you restrict the search to Certified (i.e. WHQL) drivers only. Restricting the search to Beta only gets you back to 195.39 But, for my combo (9800GT/WinXP), and testing the new Beta builds for SaH v7, I actually found that 301.42 was the fastest. I only discovered that this morning - I'll try and write it up somewhere when I've found a way of boiling down the morass of figures. |

Heh! Hardly anything anything gets by Claggy:) Geforce.com is a bit different... It only goes back 10 WHQL versions. And if you do the "WHQL only" selection it goes back to the 260 drivers, which isn't too bad. Anyway, I just wanted to throw the "search engine" option out there because, even though I agree with Bil.bg about FileHippo, I know a lot of people want to dowload their drivers from nVidia only. |
