I hope it will fix the monitor suspend / resume problem. Apparently not. It's still got the bug. BOINC blog ID: 23955 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I found something in the 296.10 release notes that looks like it MIGHT be related to the problem: Hybrid Power Support for Hybrid Power, a Hybrid SLI technology, is discontinued and not available with this driver. However, I haven't found enough information on what Hybrid Power is to do more than guess whether it's related to BOINC GPU use. ID: 23959 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 18 Mar 2012, 9:17:23 UTC Does the problem with the 295-296 drivers touch linux systems or not? Why does the performance in linux is 2 times lower than in Win7?

In Linux you have to go to NVidia Control Panel and set to prefer maximum performance - Every Time you restart! If you don't the GPU downclocks. If your driver works, don't touch it.

Last modified: 18 Mar 2012, 15:32:24 UTC The problem with low performance was because of 4 cores load in my WCG project, I have made some changes and forced only 3 cores to operate, and GPU temperature has started ot rise to WIn7 levels. GPUgrid in linux utilizez 1 CPU CORE up to 100%. ID: 24025 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I couldn't restart NATHAN_FAX4 tasks on my GTX 590. So I reverted back to 285.58. ID: 24062 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
