ArVee,

I uninstalled ALL nvidia drivers in my add/remove programs and then downloaded driver 266.58

It seems to work. I am leaving in a couple minutes to go check on it. But I believe that will do it.

ALso, I am going to change flags in CONFIGURE and use:

forcegpu nvidia_fermi

I will get rid of the -GPU 3 flag I'll keep the verbosity 9

I'll know shortly. Thanks for the info on the TEMPS.

I was really worried about them.....

That is good info as BAP will likely need to know that whenever he gets his newest video card for folding installed and going.

I am afraid he has windows 7 and 64 bit also so I hope he doesn't experience these video lags.

I don;t believe that OLDER I installed will work with the very newest video cards so I hope that latest 301 driver has overcome this problem.

I don;t have that issue on any of my XP Pro systems.

I am tempted to go back to it if I don;t get this resolved at home.

I'll report a bit later how it is doing.

Thanks again!

micro...

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.
