wow. I let windows reinstall the driver(instead of using the one from Nvidia's website) and the GPU has returned!

Thanks for the responses!

So even though the card seems to be running fine with Windows, there could still be a GPU problem?

just says 'No usable GPUs'
I followed your steps. no go yet

So I ran EVGA PrecisionX16 program just to tweak some things.
Now seti@home says the GPU is missing. Everything seems to work
fine though. Computers boots, programs run, videos play nice
and smooth.
I have a GTX 780. I reinstalled the driver, reinstalled seti@home,
reboots multiple times. WCG and rosetta@home run fine(though
they are not using the GPU.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

Thanks Joe. I appreciate the straight forward answer with no guessing involved :)

So it's not the same as Ave. work done as shown in the Boinc client under projects?

Every since I disabled the built-in Intel GPU, this 780 has really kicked into gear. My Avg. work done has gone from 18,000 to over 31,000 with no other changes. Well I did turn the CPU fan to full blast also, but as someone else pointed out, the fan speed should have increased anyway as needed.

Also, is 'Ave. work done' the same thing as RAC?

That's ok by me. At least you are "cool" about it.

It is very cool to hear the setups you guys have going on. You put a whole new perspective on things for me. My box is sitting on my bedroom floor with multiple fans inside it. Must get better cooling.

I would love to hear more about peoples setups. Probably should start a new thread for that eh?

Thanks!

Probably recommended to water cool the GPU and the CPU I assume?

I'm starting to see that I need to add water cooling to my box. Right now it is winter time here and the house is cool. I don't want to kill any components with heat.

Is there water cooling for the GPU also (say the 780)? Or is cooling just for the processor?

I just broke 28,000 RAC, which is my highest ever, with the help of the 780. Looking a lot better now.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Haswell CPU Question (Message 1464761)
Posted 15 Jan 2014 by Profile Michael Banta
Post:
First off I'd like to say I'm an idiot. I was looking at my GPU temp not my CPU temp with I said 50 deg...


I rebooted to check my BIOS.

Under Peripherals I have:
Inter Processor Graphics

which I have disabled.

Under Performance, I have:

CPU Fan speed (full speed)

Also, I used Precision x to set my GPU fan to a higher than normal speed.


Don't know if you have these exact options...

Hi there. I have a Haswell also and I'm running at 49deg C.

I have a GTX 780 running full blast and 5/8 cores are crunching on the CPUs.

I had problems until I went into the system BIOS and disabled the built-in Intel GPU and turned the CPU fan up to full blast. Now my box is kicking butt.

Yea the GPU usage went up after I turned off the built-in Intel GPU and turned up the CPU fan speed. Suddenly everything sped up, 780 GPU and the 5 CPU are kicking butt now!
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Intel hd 4600 ??? (Message 1463378)

Just had a similar discussion...

I also have the i7 4770k with built-in Intel GPU. I found that having the Intel GPU active in the BIOS, caused my system in general and the GTX 780 to run poorly. Not until I disabled it did my 780 really start to crunch like it should. My problem was due to heat though. I don't have a water cooler (yet) for the CPU and I hear the Haswells run hot. Turning up the CPU fan in the BIOS seemed to help also.

So if you do run the built-in GPU keep this in mind if you see poor performance with your system. My system becomes less aggressive as the heat rises. Built in fail safes I assume.

"...get a 4 core processor amd intel"

what does that mean? A new hybrid maybe?

I'm sorry you don't approve of my choices :(
I will check in with you next time I make a life decision.

That is awesome! Uranus is the furthest planet I've seen with a scope. Pale blue small dot, but bigger than a star.

Post:
oops. I said 520. I meant a 560.

I assume I still don't want to run a 560 along side a 780?
