Link to this machine is : HERE I also have a GTS250 on an i7 (Linux x64) which works fine: HERE but the GT9600 on this q6600 (linux x64) errors out a high percentage of WU's well into them: HERE I am trying going back to driver 180.51 ( have just re-installed it on the GTX275 machien) and BOINC recognises the card fine... just have to waste time waiting around AGAIN for more WU's.

I think all the failed WU's were IBUCH.. have picked up 1 x IBUCH and 1 x GIANNI this mornng.. the GIANNI is happily crunching away on the 275 (thank goodness) .. haven't tried letting this IBUCH run though...yet !

Just kidding ! but it is a nice improvement in spped... will look at winding it up in the next couple of days... (it is strange...one of my team members told me it "happens" for a day or so.. then rights itself.... strangely he was proven to be quite correct ...) ID: 10343 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 1 Jun 2009, 2:23:35 UTC Something must be going on because my 275 card had been crunching fine until the other day.... I am seeing more errors in the past day then all the other days combined and it is happening in the first minute of run time... ID: 10354 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This is very rare in the windows world and, as I heard, could mean anything. I'm not sure.. I tend to point the finger into the direction of your distro and the drivers.
