on new 177.92 beta.
I am very Curious if new drivers will be faster on WinXPS2 32bit than previous 177.84.

Be sure to let us know if you find 177.92 is faster or the same speed as 177.84.

Btw, I am still using 177.45 drivers and they seem to work fine.

I have delayed on one hour computing using Boinc Manager.

I uninstall 177.84

Restart


I'm not sure what you mean by "delayed on one hour". But I have a suggestion what went wrong for you:

When I played around with different drivers I switched BOINC to "no network activity" and made a full backup of the BOINC directory. When I uninstalled a driver (because I wanted to downgrade) and windows rebootet, it didn't have a driver ready. BOINC was installed as a service and apparently started GPU-Grid and errored out because it didn't find a CUDA device. After the driver install I rebootet and restored the backup.

I am very Curious if new drivers will be faster on WinXPS2 32bit than previous 177.84.


No it isn't.

I didn't notice a GUI difference.
