New GTX 950 SC+

[Surfpunk]

Hello,

I just picked up a new GTX 950, looking forward to the additional science I can crunch. I suppose the ppd jump will be nice too.

Here is the set up:
Q6850
8 gb RAM
WIN 10 pro
GTX 950 with client-type = advanced flag and the newest 362.00 drivers.

Anything obvious I missed? I'd love to throw a Linux distro on it but the wife and kids use iTunes heavily and unless I missed it there is no native Linux client.

Thanks!

I'd say rock on, only obvious thing I would do is get a utility to monitor temps, GPU usage, and clock speeds.

Thanks, Prime! I do have the standards, CPU-Z/GPU-z/HWMonitor so I think good there. I've just been using the FAH Control panel to keep an eye on ppd. The various flags have been a bit hard to suss out so I appreciate the confirmation that I'm on the right track.
