I thought I had the oc off. all were at 576/1242/999 last nite. this morning the oc was back. i use Rivatuner for the oc'ing and checking the fan speed. Something i did must be wrong. your right, only one fan per card. I running MemtestG80 after this. thank you all.

I used Rivatuner as well and that didn't work with my 295 cards, The values that were set in where not properly accepted by the driver/card.
So I use the nVidia plugin performance monitor from nVidia, that's simple and works as it should.

Fred W, Thanks!


Jon, GPU#2 & ..#3 are still + 10 MHz shader.
'resultid=1476281148' Reported: 11 Jan 2010 14:53:07 UTC
But this is morning for you I guess.. where you live 'UTC/GMT' -xx:xx ?
I live current UTC + 01:00 (MET).


Fred, URL please!
I installed only the nVIDIA_driver. From the system tray icon/menu I can't see an option for to control fan speed.
Is there a possibility for to see also the chip temp (maybe also RAM/voltage transformer temps) of the graphic card (orig. nVIDIA softw.)?



EDIT: I disabled with help of msconfig the start of the nVIDIA system tray icon simultaneously with the Windows start. So it's not shown. Is there a possibility for to start this prog (fan control/temps) out of the program menu/or nVIDIA folder?

Hidden in plain sight on the driver download page.
3 programs, choose at the installation the first one ntune. The others are useless, except maybe the update manager.
The program works as a plug-in of the normal nVidia setup.

After startup you have to seek for the license conformation, otherwise you miss some settings. Rather strange place for the conformation.

Depending on your driver you should be able to set speeds, fan and voltage.

Hey thanks, I missed that one also will take a look.

Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons...
And no good credit hound!

Hey, guys. I find EVGA Precision much easier to use than the NVidia tools or RivaTuner. Set fan speed, check temps etc. Seems to work equally well with any make of card.

Hey guys, I think I found it. Fans at 100% using Rivatuner, underclocking using nVidia control panel. Watching closely, 2 cuda wu's are good. Then screen goes black, comes back ("driver stopped responding and recovered") and then 4 cuda computation error! i'll reinstall or update drivers now.

Jon use the 19107 drivers there is a problem with thr latest driver.

Hmm, you got a Win 7 driver that I know and nVidia knows has some CUDA issues.
I stopped trying with that driver give me XP for now.

You found a driver that did work? Because I tried them all.
There are getting a bit better and sometimes even stable for a couple of hours.
But still not good enough for the real thing. And somewhat slower.

You tested nVIDIA_driver_195.81_BETA ?

Maybe this version is better (probs solved) for Win7 than the earlier 195.62_final?

The release data shows no changes in the CUDA part of the driver.
Only some minor fixes:
This driver is identical to the 195.62 WHQL drivers except for the following: etc.

Jon, you have maybe the possibility to install WinXP ?

AFAIK, it's the fastest crunching OS (compared to WinVista & Win7).

And it's well tested over years..

Agreed, XP 64, for now is the best choice, it's really stable.
I expect Win7 to catch up eventually, but I don't think the main focus is on us CUDA users.

You have 191.x installed.

I have 190.x installed, my test (190.x , 191.x , 195.x) showed fastest for CUDA (WinXP 32bit).

Maybe the EVGA tool need the lastest nVIDIA_driver for well function?

Normally the orig. nVIDIA tool should run well with all drivers, or is a min. driver needed?

I had 191.07 in there but not working.
I installed 195.81 beta...not working. I'll try 195.62 now.
195.62 not working.

Nah, EVGA's Precision v1.8.1 tool works fine with older Nvidia drivers. I'm using 190.62 (XP x86). But I only have two GPU's installed. Maybe >2 GPU's is a problem?

Jon make sure you go to Device Manager and Uninstall the Display adapters,
you get the option to uninstall the drivers as well.
This gives the best option for a cleaner registry.
I guess that this is telling my Grandmother how to suck eggs but thought others might find it usefull.

Ohh well..

You had nVIDIA_driver_191.x and with all stock (orig. SETI@home) all worked fine?

I wouldn't think that .._190.x will work, but maybe you would like to test?

Maybe you have at home an old CD of WinXP for to install?


I don't think I'll now say a secret, everybody know it..
I heard, you can install WinXP on more PCs simultaneously, the Inet unlock work fine. Other said it, I didn't made it.
I installed WinXP on a PC. Some years later I installed the same OS on an other system and it worked fine. The old PC was no longer active, maybe because of this it worked?

You can't do this with WinVista. It's connected to the installed system.

I have 2 GTX295's in my i7 rig but because it is Vista 64bit only 3 GPU's.
I also have 2 GTX275's in my AMD rig also Vista.
Being Game for a Laugh I have bought an AMD Phenom IIx4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz processor,to go on a cheap m/board with 4 PCI-Express slots.
Plus 4Gb of Geil DDR3 2133 memory.
When all the parts arrive hopefully later this week I am going to lash it
together on the bench with the 4 nVidia cards to see how they perform.
XP of course.
Any ideas wellcome.
Sorry if I shoud have stared a new thread but this one is about 2 GTX295's.
