I've been running with these for about 12 hours now. Only thing I notice is the gpu temp when running GPUGrid is up about 1C. Don't know any performance difference yet, not that I'm really expecting any. ID: 7002 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

GTX 280 was working fine until 3PM today and blam! every time I rebooted my computer would crash with very colorful rainbows on the display. Tried uninstall, uninstall with delete and reinstall but there was some issue with an nvidia sys file, could not make it out in the BSOD and rainbows. Installed the 182.06 driver and temps are the same and no rainbows anymore (wiping brow). Anyone else have issues like this? Pat ID: 7023 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Have been running just over 24 hours now. Keeping a monitor on the temps, I've noticed that each of my 3 cards is maxing out at approximately 1-2C higher than on previous drivers. Ambient temp is roughly the same (though somewhat variable between night and day), though the slight increase in gpu temps seems fairly constant. Not sure what to make of it, but all processed WU's doing fine. Will let a few more run before drawing any conclusions. ID: 7024 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Pat I've got a 1 - 2 C temp increase, and some "rainbows" only when playing vids with gpugrid running, also, a few minutes of gpu grid would turn the screen white, even after hard rebooting, shutdown was the only solution. I'm blaming the rainbows and white screen on one faulty WU, after I aborted that unit everything seems stable now. Will continue to monitor for a few days, otherwise, it will be rollback time!

See this message thread. I also installed it on my older 9800GT card and again it seems to be running fine. WU seem to process at the same speed as before on each card. I will have to try some seti cuda WU and see how it handles the later drivers. BOINC blog ID: 7046 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
