Folding Forum

I was able to sort out my issue, though it makes no sense to me... and I have been getting my drivers direct from nVidia.com I ended up going through all the recent drivers and found the one that was optimized for the games I play. in this case 431.36. Just installing the driver didn't give me any ...

No, I don't know if the tool helped anyone for folding. Your mainboard does not have this issue as it has no plx pcie switch chip PEX8747. Your mainboard supports 4 GPUs at pcie 3.0 x8 because your CPU provides 44 pcie Lanes. The plx pcie switch chip PEX8747 is only available on some rare mainboard...

This doesn't make sense. When you installed as a standard user (with admin permission) the install would have created shortcuts on the standard user's desktop. Why did you replace them with the leftovers from a previous install by the admin account? The whole point of installing as the standard use...

I recommend that those affected, before updating drivers, check the Release Notes to see if they have solved the problem. http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/***.**/***.**-win10-win8-win7-desktop-release-notes.pdf Change the asterisks by the version number Greetings. Still not fixed but nvidia dr...

Bruce, I appreciate your trying to help & I apologize if my tone sounded snarky or rude. Tone is impossible to convey in text. I work 12 hour night shifts and didn't have time to properly follow your instructions. I realize this problem I'm having could be a host of things: I use Private Intern...

Foldy, bruce, thanks for your constructive feedback, very much appreciated. Last night, I installed Ubuntu Linux 17.10.1 with NVIDIA's closed source drivers. I loaded all 4x GPUs with workload from Folding@Home for 6+ hours and Linux did not "panic" at all, i.e. no kernel panic (the equiv...

Security problems and potential vulnerability drivers are relevant for those who, for some reason, launches a lot of untrusted downloaded from the network code on their machine. If so, then updates are needed. But this is specific type of activities. Agreed but I am merely installing these security...

It probably already has impacted production, though not as much as you might think. The number of GPUs with the faulty drivers is somewhat limited and FAH is designed to recover from errors by quickly assigning the WU to somebody else. Personally, once I find a driver version that's dependable, I d...

Hi 7im and bruce, Many thanks for your useful information concerning how different versions of the Nvidia driver work with different GPU architectures. I naively had forgotten about this difference. This also explains why one driver version might work well for one GPU architecture and not another. I...

I apologize if my post appears to be “hijacking” this thread that is not my intention. I’m simply trying to encourage constructive discussion. Thank you.

From what I have read, this driver has partial DirectX 12 support. There is also a release notes PDF link in the following article. This knowledge base article references a later driver, 349.72:

Me too. I am only receiving Core 15 WUs at this time. I am using a Kepler GPU (GK110, GTX Titan, 836 Mhz Base Clock, 876 Boost Clock). Similar to the others reporting this issue in this thread, I am curious if Core 17 WUs will return. Thanks.

The HD Graphics 2000 device is an Intel integrated GPU which would not be supported for folding, even if it were available to you. In all cases that I've ever seen, an iGPU is disabled when another GPU is plugged into an expansion slot so it wouldn't be available even if a suitable connector was pr...
