Stanford releases Nvidia CUDA client!!

We're happy to roll out the beta nVidia client, it's a nice beta, and so here we go...

First and before you do anything else, LOOK OVER THE FAQ. Lots of important things in there that you'll need to know if you do anything beyond run the installer and run it.

Drivers
You MUST use the 174.55 version of the drivers (or better, from that URL) for now. You do not need the other files, just the drivers.

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. Other then that, visit our nVidia beta Forum to see what's happening.

Download:
6.12 beta 6

Get ready guys. I got 3 Nvidia cards just waiting to get this installed today..

Update:
You have to install new drivers for your GPU to enable CUDA. I'm currently using
CUDA Downloads - NVIDIA
those. On the F@H Forums they were recommending 175.33, but on Vista 32bit I couldn't get those to install.
Next, YOU HAVE TO HAVE 1 CPU CORE TO RUN GPU2. So to everyone running SMP's, and maxing out all of your CPU cores, you need to go into the advanced options and edit it to only use the proper amount of cores
(In console, use

Code:

  fah.exe -config

then go into advanced options from there)

Once you have the proper driver installed, and the proper cores set, then the GPU client should run fine.
FahMon is reporting my OC'd 9600GT is getting 2490.35 PPD.
