Beta drivers posted on the nvidia website, or click here. The release notes are shown below. The last point might be of interest. This is a beta driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, and 200-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs. BOINC blog |

Got 2 tasks for testing on GTX260 under Win 7 x64. May be it will finally work... From Siberia with love!

Well, seems like 191.03 drivers didn't solved an 260's bug: <core_client_version>6.10.3</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> - exit code 98 (0x62) </message> <stderr_txt> # Using CUDA device 0 # There is 1 device supporting CUDA # Device 0: "GeForce GTX 260" # Clock rate: 1.24 GHz # Total amount of global memory: 939524096 bytes # Number of multiprocessors: 24 # Number of cores: 192 MDIO ERROR: cannot open file "restart.coor" ERROR: c:\cygwin\home\speechserver\gpumd2\src\pme\CPME_cufft.cu, line 104: cufftExecC2R (gridcalc3) called boinc_finish </stderr_txt> ]]> p.s. why this topic names "191.06 drivers released"? :-)) From Siberia with love!

The 191.03 Drivers don't fix anything as far as I can see, they work but don't Prevent the Down Clocking of the Cards. The one Box I tried them on already has reset it's self twice already to 300/100. That's worse than before, before it would reset to 300/400. Now the Wu just appears to stall and no Progression is seen. No error is given but the Wu stalls and if I suspend the Wu I can see the reset with GPU-Z ... Back to Collatz, simple can't run these Wu's if the Cards are going to reset and Stall ... |

Well, seems like 191.03 drivers didn't solved an 260's bug: Well I didn't think it would solve the cuda fft bug on GTX260's. It might have made a difference to the cards downclocking. According to PoorBoy its worse than before. As for the driver version number in the topic, that just my typing mistake. BOINC blog |

Yep... But it could... Perhaps... In theory... :-) From Siberia with love!

Well I didn't think it would solve the cuda fft bug on GTX260's. It might have made a difference to the cards downclocking. According to PoorBoy its worse than before I have to believe it has something to do with the Grid Application/Wu it's self. I can run Collatz or SETI GPU Wu's for days on end with no Re-setting of the GPU but within a 1/2 Hour usually of running the Grid Wu's on a few cards they Re-set them self's ... |

According to PoorBoy its worse than before your right.... someone needs to go take a look at the line in the code and see if something looks different. ERROR: c:\cygwin\home\speechserver\gpumd2\src\pme\CPME_cufft.cu, line 104: cufftExecC2R (gridcalc3) SIDE NOTE: 191.06 beta didn't fix my p4's java/nvidia conflict.. 186.xx is where that computer is going to have to stay... |
