How To: GPU folding on Nvidia 8xxx, 9xxx and 260/280 cards - Page 9

Disruptor4 · 7th July 2008, 4:05 PM

Yeah I'm currently using it. The modded ones by side (XP 32bit 177.39) gave me some graphical glitches in crysis. Coming in and out of cloak mode.
Those ones (177.35) from nvidia site seem to give me problems too. The FPS fluctuates from anywhere from 10-900FPS. It's stupid. Also I got this funny as graphical glitch with a Korean using those drivers, so I hope they release newer/better drivers or someone mods some better ones.

After completing quite a few projects prior, it doesn't seem to be changing from that?

I found 177.41's though.

The 177.41's work here. Couldn't get it running on my 8800GTS (640MB version) with the other drivers but with the new driver runs fine now. Will only be folding when i'm awake though, computers to noisy to leave on while sleeping.

The problem seems to keep returning. I could try the latest drivers, but it seems like an unrelated problem...

ttv8 · 11th July 2008, 9:17 PM

can you run multiple graphics cards (eg 2 or 3 8800gt's but not sli) and fold like that?

OhFoRkMe · 11th July 2008, 9:25 PM

Simple answer, yes

danyell · 13th July 2008, 4:56 PM

hey gents, i'm close to kicking gpu folding off... what's the latest latest beta anyone is using and folding with?

i saw 175.80 was available on techpowerup... but i want to at least be slightly assured my games will keep working when i'm not folding, too!

hurry up nvidia you slack dogs! cuda whql with performance enhancements and no niggling bugs or visual problems in my games! heh.

but seriously, what are ya's using?

cewing · 14th July 2008, 5:27 PM

I just started this today and Im trying to install the GPU client but it crashes half way through the installation every time.

Im not currently using the drivers on the first page but i recently just updted them from the official nvidia site.

Can any one help?

EDIT:
I just tried running the program and it opened and started running fine.
But it came up with a few errors but i just hit ok and it kept running.
Yet under DONOR it says:
Name: Core is no
Team: running now.

yanman · 14th July 2008, 6:56 PM

I installed it and started it going last night. It seems fine as far as the log file goes, but I don't think the display is working.

It says it's just starting a test protein even though the log at the moment says i'm 97% done through 576 p5005_supervillin_e1

OhFoRkMe · 14th July 2008, 10:25 PM

Dont use the viewer, its shit and wastes resources.

Azrael · 14th July 2008, 10:35 PM

Ergh, having stacks of issues with this new machine

Sweet PITA it is becoming.

doodz · 14th July 2008, 10:41 PM

Azrael what's the log files say?

I just realised I forgot to change the machine ID in the config file and other card was getting Unstable errors for a day and half!

Fixed now
