175.19 driver, does it support CUDA?

[Earth86]

the new driver 175.19 seems to be up on the nvidia site. does anybody know if F@H works on this version? i have the 8800GTS 640MB running with modded 177.35 but was thinking whether i should use the proper driver 175 or stay with the modded 177.

there is no mention of cuda in the release notes some im guessing not.

The answer is no.

Only 174.55 or 177.35 support CUDA.

ok i guess i'll stay on 177 then, thanx for the reply

I am using the 174.55 driver right now for my 8800GTX but it has been acting up. Won't run the demos like Cascades or games right. Should I go up to the 177 driver? If so, how do I make it work (I read about some modded .inf file or something) because when I tried to install it it said I had the wrong hardware. I have Vista 32-bit.

You can get the drivers and modded .inf file from here: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/ind ... opic=19109. It worked well for me.

Running 175.19 here beautifully. Slight uptick in performance over .16 (about 4980 PPD)

I have heard of a v175.19 driver that had CUDA support added, along with GTX 2xx support. But one of our Mods opened the .INF file, and the GTX 2xx references were missing. Enter at your own risk until the project changes the driver recommendation. However, we do appreciate any reports you have using this driver.

I tried 175.19 on my 8800GT Vista x64 and it doesn't seem to work...
