Nvidia GPU Client Download!!!

[SKYMTL]

It is on the page I linked @ the bottom.

So i didn't have to install the cuda beta drivers, i am just using the last WHQL drivers (not the ones released today). Using a single 8800GT. Man this makes VNC move like a dog.

So how do I get this to run on two cards at once? Or even better be able to assign which card it runs on.

Since when I'm in vista I have the SLI turned off and am only really using the second card for an additional monitor. So it would work great if it was running just on it.

Some more thoughts:

-Managed to get my 8800GTX upto 4200PPD with nothing major running.
It's now down to about 3000PPD with 2x SMPs at 75% at 3.37GHz on a Q6600.
The SMP clients haven't updated yet, so I can't post their PPD values.

-I still can't figure out how to find the GPU usage. Rivatuner doesn't show it, and neither does GPU-Z. Either that or I'm a noob and can't find it.

-The Display SUCKS. I've BSODed more times in the last 12 hours than I have in my life. (Unless I'm trying to CAUSE a BSOD) I've managed to crash 2 separate machines just by opening the Display.

-The GPU client eats CPUs for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a midnight snack. With nothing else major running, it was bogging down my machine.

SLI isn't supported by the client.

How did you manage that? That is quite good for an 8800GTX all on its own.

For some reason the latest drivers I have used with Rivatuner do not show GPU usage. I have no idea why but it isn't a selectable option.

Are you running Vista? I'm wondering since I have not had one BSOD when using Vista x64 SP1.

Well since SLI is not supported by the client, how can we dictate which card out of the two it runs on? Or can we at all?

I would think it runs on the primary card but according to my sources there will be dynamic SLI support added within the next 2-3 weeks.

The viewer is unstable, and not recommended for use, as per this:Folding Forum • View topic - nVidia beta - 6.12 beta 6

Known bugs: It's a beta, and yes we meant that, not like Google but like software engineers - expect glitches and updates. The main thing is that the viewer will not work, as we're in the middle of changing how the live coordinates get to the viewer.

That is very odd since I use the viewer without a problem. Then again, I am using the Nvidia BETA which was distributed to reviewers that only works on Vista.
