Well yes, I do believe that card is folding as it should. Propeller btw I know you've said you don't like temps that high but they're perfectly fine for newer age gpu's, not to say that means a thing it they bug you. They really are though, mine have been in the 80's and even higher since I got them.

Don't forget to check gpu %usage in Afterburner or Precision, make sure it's not at 70 or something.

Power mngmt all OFF?

A big fat NO! to the latest WHQL drivers, they're a nightmare, lag and other issues. 295 I believe was the one causing all the grief. Skip 'em and go all the way to the 301 beta, reported to solve the latest issues and generally blessed by the forums.

I wasn't even going to type it, but -gpu 3 should make it look for the card in the 3rd pcie16 slot, but hey, if it's folding, it's folding.

Are the other two cards ok, you saw my numbers and I know mine's a deviant release, but it's still only 16 more shaders than a 460.

It is currently running a 8006 at 2 minutes and 42 seconds per frame.

I added some flags. -verbosity 9 and -GPU 3

They say that a FERMI card should use that GPU 3 flag so I added it.

It seems to be running much hotter now. I returned the voltage to default and have the shader clock where I have the one at work set at. This fan is running 70% and the temp is 75 degrees.

I can live with that if it doesn't start NANs or EUE's.

I am back to having a little LAG time as well. The cursor on the mouse doesn't respond immediately, slide bars don;t slide when you want them to, etc....

This is strange because my windows XP 32 bit systems do not do this.

This is a windows 7 64 bit system and I am jut shocked.

I am thinking of trying the very newest WHQL driver from nVidia and see if maybe they made an improvement of some kind.

Worth a try??????

Thanks ArVee,

micro...
