New GeForce v334.89 drivers available as of 1 hour ago.

New driver for the GTX750 & 750Ti most likely.

The drivers do include the new cards but also fix various glitches and notably boost performance in Hitman Absolution (Yee Haaa !!), but its to soon to see if this will filter through to Seti performance.

The new drivers seem solid for me on the Titan, gaming is definitely boosted on some games but crunching is much the same.  By the way anybody considering the new cards look to the Seti forums where I've seen mention of there outstanding crunching ability on very little power useage.

Some users have had trouble with 340.52 and the r2399 OpenCL NV AP v6 app in the v0.42 installer, it's working well for others. See the NC thread A word of warning about Nvidia driver 340.52.

I upgraded to the 344.11 drivers on my GTX 660 superclocked and have noticed better crunching times by a few seconds.
Everything seems fine but I did have to boost my fan to 60% to keep the temps that I like.

Are you saying that the driver upgrade has effected your temps ?

Only Windows supported for now is Win8.1 x64. And only latest GPUs. Looks not too promizing for SETI project where much diversity occurs. OpenCL 2.0 has some nice features worth to be used in SETI apps code though.

And from Intel:

nVidia out of consideration  :-\

Also consider that first Intel hardware to support OpenCL 2.0 features will be based on Broadwell cores/GPUs (so intel HD5300 and up)

And already a new Nvidia driver is out, this time bumping version to 344.60 and WHQL certified.

Good thing because I had drivers restarts with 344.48 on a GTX660 when playing youtube videos, OpenCL/Cuda processing was running fine though.

Will test and let you know.

Back to 340.42 for me on an Nvidia GTX 660. Was getting major screen corruption and crashes when running GPUGRID tasks (SETI being out of tasks currently) with 344.60.

Anyone still crunching on an ATI 6670 card ? What drivers are you running?

I'm having issues with recent Catalyst and Seti@home beta that insists on sending me tasks labeled with _cat132 (like opencl_ati5_cat132).
These tasks usually crash video card driver in a matter of minutes and causes the BOINC job to just sit there and wait forever.
Some of them do complete successfully but it's far too unpredictable.

Lunactic's very own optimized apps run just fine on this card. For now I have disable AMD task in my SETI@home beta preferences.

Host ID: http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/results.php?hostid=71860
(and yes this is host mixing intel iGPU, Nvidia and AMD ;) )

Try deleting the compilations for the opencl_ati_cat132 app, and let the app generate new ones.

Have you tried restarting the host? It was working with that app version two weeks ago.

Have you freed any CPU cores?
