Nvidia driver for Vista

[KGH]

Please post what driver do you use for Nvida (gts/gt) on Vista enterprise ?

I have tried couple versions (180.48/70) but still have low ppd (2500).

I'm using v178.24 right now on Vista x64. The newer 180.60+ drivers have new CUDA code that brings cpu utilization to nearly 0% for each GPU2 core process, at least on XP. I haven't tried the newer drivers on Vista yet.

Can you tell us some more about the setup? Single GPU? Multi GPU? etc... etc....

180.48 produces about 2.7% less ppd than 178.08, 178.24 or 178.28 with the same cpu utilization. 180.60 and, I presume, 180.70 produce the same as 180.48, but with almost no use of the cpu. If you're not running SMP + GPU (or the unicpu client on all cpu cores), you should use the older drivers, 178.08 being the current official CUDA Vista driver. You have to set the GPU client to low priority (console client) or slightly higher (systray client) to avoid having other clients or apps steal the cpu cycles it needs.
