Folding with Nvidia GeForce drivers 381.65 WHQL ---> Was using 373.06
 
PC details:
 
Win 7 64bit Pro, X58 MB (PCIe 2.0 x16) with i7-950 OC, on air
 
EVGA 1080 FE on air
 
Steps I used:
 
PC offline
 
All background software stopped, including security software
 
Removed MSI AB, reboot
 
DDU Safe Mode old driver, with reboot
 
Installed Nvidia driver, Advanced mode, Only graphics driver & PhysX, clean install, reboot
 
Reinstalled MSI AB, clean install, reboot
 
Set MSI AB back to same settings I was running previously
 
Let the Folding begin
 
 
UPDATE: from post # 23
 
I see no reason to go to the new driver at this time.
 
381.65 MAY be up to 8% slower in Folding and performs the same as 373.06 at Best
 
Gamers may want to try it if they are having issues with their current driver

almost finished first WU currently 92%
 
My experience, takes a few WU after a system reboot for it to settle in
 
So far down about 25K on PPD

Update
 
So far PPD "could" be lower by about 8 % - still early in testing, ~ 24 hours and 9 WU completed. 
 
Not sure if it is driver or the actual WU that are being sent. (PPD 700K - 830K as reported - "estimated PPD, FAHControl 7.4.4"
 
No crashes or any other issues so far
 
As reported by - Afterburner 4.3.0
GPU 2075 MHz
RAM 5005 MHz
1081mV
Fan 100%
GPU 61 C (Delta T = 42 C on air cooler)
Room 19 C / 67 F
 
 
Nvidia Control Panel - Tab/ Adjust image settings with preview - use my preference emphasizing Performance
 

Update 45 hours in with new driver
 
Folding strong
 
Only "issue" - the usual - Server did not assign work unit, has happened 4 times

My core21.exe keeps crashing. Not failing the work unit, just throwing a program exception at the start that I have to clear manually. Then it professes past 0.0% on advanced control and hfm.net client.

On what GPU and This Driver (381.65) and are you running Version 18 on Core 21?
Are you overclocking your GPU?

Welcome to the Forum Aurum.Rabosa
From what the Folding Site has told us the Bug was removed from the NVIDIA Drivers 3 or 4 Drivers ago.
Now we are all waiting for Version 19 of Core 21 that has the Stanford Workaround Removed.
Also are you going to start back up Folding?

I am running at 2062 Mhz on my 1080FTW2. Temps are in low to mid 50s as its a single card right now.
Am not on latest drivers will install it soon before I force the windows update.
It doesn't crash all the time, just 4 times in past few days and no reported errors.

So, two crashes last night
 
1) error faulty project @ 36% complete

Cool GTX
installed Nvidia driver, Advanced mode, Only graphics driver & PhysX, clean install, reboot after DDU


This new Nvidia driver loads 3 files: ?
1) NVDisplay.Container.exe (currently 12,652 K)
2) NVDisplay.Container.exe (currently 4,284 K)
3) NvTelemetryContainer.exe*32 (currently 4,852 K)

To avoid having the NvTelemetry installed, you can unpack the driver exe using 7zip or Winrar and simply locate and delete the NvTelemetry folder before running the setup.
 
So far I only had the core crash on me once, that was while watching a Youtube video on Firefox.
I usually watch videos on Youtube or MPC-HC while my GTX 980 Ti is folding, this driver has been stable for me these past three days.

Not liking this new driver so far, 16% drop in PPD vs 372.90, will see what it looks like tomorrow....
 

Did you Ever Run Driver 373.06?

I don't think so, definitely not after I installed HFM.  Will give it a shot after I uninstall 381.65 since I'm already in a testing frame of mind!  Got up to 406,000 PPD with the 372.90 on my 970FTW so that has been my fall-back driver when newer drivers disappoint.  

You should give a go you, will like Driver 373.06.
Better Driver for Games as well.

So Cool GTX would recommend this Driver for Folders and or Crunchers?

I see no reason to go to the new driver at this time.

Thanks for your testing Cool GTX 

Hmm, mu interest is peaked.  I'm gonna grab 373.06 and see what I get with them!

372.90 & 373.06 are currently still top Folding drivers

Do you know which is the best for 1080 Ti?
