ASUS Mars 2 and FAH

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

ASUS Mars 2 and FAH

Post by Mhp0810 »

Hi,

I have folded successfully with with different systems, Windows and Linux. Most often using FAH control v7.x in Windows 7 64 bit. I just got the ASUS Mars 2 which is a single card Nvidia GTX580 SLI device.

FAH control and clients do not recognize this card at all. I have tried the latest NVIDIA driver 296.10 WHQL as well as many older drivers but no success. Have reinstalled Windows and FAH control as well as drivers countless times but to no avail. Can anyone help?

It is my intention to smash the bollocks out of this new hardware to fold at home, 247.

Kind regards
