31) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : Nvidia 190.38, Cuda 2.3 (Message 11340)
Posted 5409 days ago by Mark Henderson
Am I correct in that Cuda 2.3 has to have the 190.. drivers but Cuda 2.2 "as we are going to" works with the 185..186.. series drivers? I dont believe 190 drivers are necessary for Cuda 2.2 only for Cuda 2.3..
According to Nvidia release highlights.

I know the Mod. said 190.. was necessary but I wonder if he was mistaken.

Poorboy, read my post. " Link to prevent Nvidia 200 Downclocking" I believe that could be the problem. The 200 goes into power saving mode by design. I thought my 1st 200 series card was bad also, but it was not. 3d performance mode has to be forced via. software, Riva Tuner is what I use.
I have been trying to get the word out as a LOT of people have been posting Boinc wide, thinking their cards are bad.
Maybe this is not your problem but it sounds just like my experience.


I checked both the Box's I mentioned in the other Thread and they both were running at 1/2 speed which I know from past experience leads to continual errors until fixed.

I Uninstalled the Drivers on both Box's and reinstalled them, after rebooting both Box's were running @ full speed. They may not stay running like that though because I have 1 Card now (GTX 260) being RMA'ed for the same reason. Apparently there is a fix or work around for that problem and if the 2 Box's continue to drop back to half speed I'll have to try it rather than have to try & RMA 2 more Cards.

All 4 Cards in the 2 Box's are GTX 260's FYI ... All the Wu's on both Box's got Trashed too doing the Reinstalling of the Drivers even though I suspend GPUGrid & the Wu's, Didn't matter, they were gone after BOINC Started back up & had to download fresh ones.

I saw a timeline on Cuda releases and it looked like 2.3 is the last release until 3.0 comes out.

Here is a good link to prevent downclocking. My 260 was going to 2D mode until I found this information.
