Nvidia released the production 295.73 driver earlier today. Has anybody been brave enough to try it yet? I'm becoming a chicken in my old age and am waiting to hear what some of you youngsters have to say about it. I would hate to install it and have my CUDA, Opencl, and Roxio video act up and have to regress it.   I don't buy computers, I build them!! ID: 1198322 ·  |

It's on my No 2 system which has 3 GPUs and so far so good. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6379711 21/02/2012 17:47:35 | | NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 460 (driver version 29573, CUDA version 4020, compute capability 2.1, 768MB, 684 GFLOPS peak) ID: 1198330 · |

My Experience of these drivers is the same as 295.51, Once the DVI connected Monitor goes to sleep, the Cuda device becomes unavailable: [ stderr ] I'm going back to 290.53 drivers. Claggy ID: 1198332 · |

I'm giving it a try, and I never let my monitor sleep, so hopefully I won't encounter Claggy's problem. To bad I have no Cuda work to knaw on yet. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website ID: 1198334 · |

No problem when the screen blanks on my laptop - either by closing the lid (computation set to continue), or under a Power Option control. Not sure what the internal screen interface is classed as - the only external connector is HDMI. ID: 1198343 · |

I set My power settings to never go to sleep, monitors and all, plus no screen savers either, but then I use LCD monitors... Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Sorry, NOT BRAVE ENOUGH lol Hi Siliconflux, welcome to the forums, Me I'm running 275.50, which doesn't work so well with Milkyway's OpenCL app, yet works real good here on S@H... Where as 290.53 works terrible here and great on Milkyway, go figure... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST

I was brave enough, but have the arrows in my back to prove it. Same issue that Claggy describes. As soon as the DVI connected monitor goes to sleep, then the CUDA device disappears. Been reporting hundreds of bad work. A belated sorry to my wingmen. Going back to 285.62.

No problem when the screen blanks on my laptop - either by closing the lid (computation set to continue), or under a Power Option control. SIV will tell you. Have a look at Menu->Machine->GPU Mapping the active display is the one with the orange blob. I guess I am lucky, my test system is OK with 295.73 but I am going to leave the main one on 285.62. All 3 of it's displays are classed as DVI but 2 are just dummy DVI connectors (http://rh-software.com/siv_dvi.png). ID: 1198432 · |

Hmmmm...seems that NV did not finish their homework before making this an official release..... Surely they got feedback about the problems. Dunno. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Switched all 3 systems last night, had some display issues that I had to reboot all the rigs to correct, but CUDA seems OK so far. Mostly running Collatz at the moment because of the usual problems here, but overall, I'd say so far, so good.

My Experience of these drivers is the same as 295.51, Once the DVI connected Monitor goes to sleep, the Cuda device becomes unavailable This seems to be a non-issue for me on Linux (nvidia version 295.20), but it doesn't even need X to be running in order to use CUDA, so that might help... strike this: Whoops, I'm using HDMI, not DVI. No idea about DVI on Linux! Nope, I have DVI after all. I keep mixing up the two interfaces. ID: 1199011 · |
