Initial use looks okay for me as well. I cannot comment on whether or not anything has changed since 340.52, which some have said interferes with use of -use_sleep on AstroPulse. Soli Deo Gloria ID: 1574632 · |

They (NVidia) removed support for older cards (older than 400 series). Waiting for 960 in October, that will change my old 9800GT. :)

I noticed that it reset all the values for temperature in my Precision X. Didn't notice that till today. Otherwise, seems to be stable ID: 1575084 · |

Check your Precision X if you use the new driver. I found that it resetted mine in 2 of my machines so that I had to reapply the parameters that I had installed on them. Namely max temp of the card and whether power or temperature was the priority. ID: 1575971 · |

Working fine here on a pair of brand new 750Ti's. Had to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox though. It was crashing the driver. T.A. ID: 1576007 · |

Working fine here on a pair of brand new 750Ti's. You should have just turned off Hardware acceleration in FF instead.

Since going to 344.11 I noticed that I had to up my fan from 50% to 60% to maintain the temps that I like.  I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) ID: 1576264 · |

I've been running 344.11 since 9/19 and haven't found a problem with it interfering with Precision X auto fan control and the temps for my 2 x GTX750Ti have been in the low 30c range when idle and mid 40 ~ mid 50c under load.   I don't buy computers, I build them!! ID: 1576713 · |

So the random self-initiated video driver resets seem to have stopped??   ID: 1576799 · |

No changes here, the new driver works fine on my GTX-750. As your computers are hidden I cannot see what hardware you are using. You should not use the new driver on old (pre Fermi) cards. You should not have to change any SETI/BOINC parameters after a driver upgrade. However, if you overclocked your card these settings may have been lost according to some ...

This driver causes the same trouble as 340.52: It is using 2 *full* cores when running without -use_sleep on 2 GPUs. With version 337.88 the 2 GPUs only use barely 1 core without -use_sleep. [edit] You can monitor the "trouble" if enabling "show kernel times" in task monitor. With the newer driver the cores "spend" = waste the most time in kernel waits. If you ask me, this is not an improvement at all... X( Aloha, Uli ID: 1578949 · |
