    What new driver. Last 3 drivers show up very fast.
    Looks like NVIDIA didn't done something good and now want to improve performance.

    on 780ti cards the fps dropped almost 25% on benchmarks like firestrike, back to the older drivers and everything is good. These drivers are game specific they do note list really any other improvements.

    On my 680 SLI the Firestrike score went up but 3DMark11 went down. The same thing happened with the last few drivers. In-game performance is the same. My new MSI GTX-980 Gaming 4G will arrive later today and I will see what happens with it using these drivers.

    I have not seen much difference in these last few drivers, although I skipped the last one.  They are very game specific but are also mainly for Maxwell based cards, so Kepler and others may not see much improvements.  I have my new 980's for my two new rigs, so I will have better idea of all this in a few weeks when I am done with the build and the testing of them.

    Well today I will test them on Folding under a GTX 690.
    Testing on the GTX 780 and GTX Titan really show no change, still over 10K lower in Credits than the AMD R2 290X Cards.

    I'll try Folding again after I get this new video board. The 680's weren't worth the time or electricity. I finally reached the magical 10 WU threshold whatever that means.

    At least my GTX 780 Cards are not doing so bad on this driver. HFM

    The P13000 is now only 1200 below AMD Credit but still takes almost 2 hour more to complete.
     
    The P13001 is still 10,000 below AMD Credit.
     
    Well through all that out the window.
    Is FAH Fixing the PPD?
    I am so glad that that FAH do not run the Stock Market or our Banks.

    That is a crazy point difference for the 13001.

    Apparently my Folding Client won't recognize my new GTX-980 video board. Everything is all grayed out.

    I have a 13001 x17 running right now that it says will take just under 11 hours for 83,325 points.  The 9201 x17 says it will take around 7 hour for 29,008 points.  The 7624 x15 says it will take just over 6 hours for 14,093 points.  Things are all over the place.  Nothing is consistent.

    You may need to restart your Computer and restart the Client.

    After about 3% you will see a better time and PPD.
    You need client-type set to advanced for 970/980 Cards
     
    P10182 is that running on your CPU an SMP project?

    I found a post at another forum and it takes time for the WU to download. I checked the log and it was only at 83%. In the mean time before finding that info I decided to uninstall, re-install, uninstall again and try an older client version, then uninstalled and deleted the old user ID and data and just started all over again. Video board is running smooth at 1504 MHz core clock at 62°C and the roar of  silence from these fans is deafening. This board is absolutely silent! My 680's sounded like a couple of F-15's ramping up for take-off.
     
    I was using the 344.60 drivers and cut my 680 times in half. I started my CPU folding after a half hour and it still smoked my video board by spitting out a WU in about 42 minutes. I peaked at 111,700 ppd. Will the 334.65 drivers give me better results?

    Same here, my 3x980 drop from 28k FireStrike to 26k!!! Garbage driver for sure.
    Reverted to 344.60 and still getting low scores...don't know why this is happening, clean install needed?
    EDIT: Nevermind, everything normal again.

    The 344.65 drivers made a world of difference with my 980 video board by more than tripling my dailly ppd output. Two days in a row I finished 2 WU in under 2.5 hours averaging 384,485 ppd compared to 111,700 using 344.60 drivers.
