Something of a personal best today- NVidia drivers upgraded on 3 machines without breaking an OS :eo Maybe I've finally got the hang of it... It's a bit early to be sure, but the 355.11 drivers seem to be producing noticeably lower PPD than the old 346.35 ones. So maybe 7im was right, and that 350-u...

Hadn't thought of that... thanks.

@ 7im - yes, both cards are using 0.0.11 which is the latest afaik. @ bollix47 - I use the "NVIDIA X Server Settings" app to get the info in the top box, it also gives the PCIe bandwidth utilisation. But not the power, which might be useful. Maybe I'll pluck up courage to update the driver...

My impression was that Core_21 ran better with drivers 350.xx and higher. You may well be right, but although they may alleviate the problem a little I doubt they'll cure it. And I put updating Linux GPU drivers firmly under the heading "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" :wink: I've ended ...

If you can run GPU Z on Windows (I don't know if a Linux tool can give such detailed informations) Linux tools for GPUs are a bit thin on the ground, if anyone knows of one I'll be interested. Installing Windows is not an acceptable option :wink: - chip with lower quality will run at higher voltage...

The difference in Maxwell generations is not applicable here. What the difference refers to is the the chips used in different models of nVidia GPU's. First generation Maxwell chips were the GM107 and 108 used in the 745, 750, 750ti and some 8nnM GPU's. The second generation Maxwells are the GM20n ...

The new core 21 tends to push the hardware harder than we're used to. Yes, and Linux pushes it harder than Windows... If your GPU quality are very different.. It's looking as if that may be the case, regardless of whether there are two versions of Maxwells or not :( . I've put it back to full overc...

What differences in behavior ? Are the system really the same, CPU, memory, storage ... Some of the newer core are writing more frequent checkpoints which might impact runtime characteristics. And of course differences within different PRCGs might hit you, too. There are slight differences in the m...

I've got two nominally identical systems using NVidia GTX 980's. I've always seen slight differences in the behaviour of the two cards, but with the advent of Core_21 that difference is becoming significant. I believe (from occasional comments here) that there are two types of Maxwell cards- the car...

OK, thanks.

Haven't seen any problem here, from one of my clients a few hours ago: 11:06:24:WU00:FS01:Sending unit results: id:00 state:SEND error:NO_ERROR project:9704 run:68 clone:17 gen:33 core:0x21 unit:0x00000031ab404162553ec6690a651fab 11:06:24:WU00:FS01:Uploading 15.01MiB to 171.64.65.98 11:06:24:WU00:FS...

Confirmed- I noticed that too, forgot to mention it.
