Don't ask me what's new, I don't know.

Nvidia via preview of URL from TinyURL Nvidia Driver with Preview
Or the direct link via TinyURL.com
Nvidia Direct
(I don't know how to make the link directly clickable with GPUGRID.net BBCode tags w/o it placing a http before ftp.)

I also add here a link to my BOInc 4 N00Bs site. I use this myself to save time so I can do most of the steps simply by copy & paste into terminal. There are steps to do all the things I usually need to do myself, when I upgrade, downgrade, or reinstall Linux. BTX, the steps are for Mint Linux 8 & should also work for Ubuntu 9.10 DON'T upgrade/downgrade drivers this way if you use Mint Linux 9 or Ubuntu 10.04

This driver fixes some stability issues with Fermi cards.

Have any1 tried this driver together with cuda_31 on G200b cards?
I'm using "ancient" 195.30 and cuda_23. I tried cuda_30 - it's way slower on GTX275 then cuda_23

ID: 71711 & ID: 72899 this one uses a GT240 ID: 62706 BTW, Nvidia now have the Linux x64 nVidia beta driver 256.52 via Tinyurl with preview or direct/redirect

liveonc,

Thanks. But as we know GT240 have nothing to do with G200b. It been built using older G92 (f.ck u, nvidia, for that mess in numbering). But GTX260 is what I'm looking for although i've got GTX275:-)

I wonna test the stuff when WUs will be available. I tested cuda_30 - it's way slower then cuda_23, so I switched back to it. I'll post results here - if it's OK to do so

very first impression - no difference between cuda_23 (195.30) and cuda_31 (256.52) and it's good news :-) cuda_30 was way slower then cuda_23.

Actually the GT240 uses G215, a sort of trimmed down 40nm version of the 55nm G200b; CC1.2 rather than CC1.3.

Yeah, basically their drivers got slower (with heavy patching to remove bugs) and then faster again. They probably rewrote the code without the bugs/patches. So the latest speed increase has probably not taken the drivers past the initial 195.3 speeds, just fixed bugs, and increased features - mainly for Fermi cards.

came back on cuda_23 (195.30). cuda_31 is faster then cuda_30, but slower then cuda_23
