GPU2 client work with Vista 64?

[Liqwid122]

I read on the FAQ that it doesn't play nicely with vista 64.....Does anyone have any experiances with it? My 8800 GTS is just sitting here.....

To get it to work, you will need to use the 177.35 drivers.
To get them to install, you will need to download the moddified nv4_disp.inf file for them.

Luck ..............

Someone managed to modify the 177.35 drivers package without breaking the WQHL check so grab it from http://ashentech.com/index.php?topic=1124.0 and install it like that. It works fine with Vista x64 (tried that yesterday on a rebuilt box and it worked perfectly).

Thanks guys for the replies.....I got it up and running!

I have mine working with Vista 64.

I had to reboot last night... the GPU2 client sat for 30 hours without grabbing a new work unit. When I got home last night the GPU2 told me that it was "sleeping."

A reboot fixed my problems.

It's working fine for me with the GTX200 WHQL drivers and the modified inf from here.

I've had crashes if I try to fire up a game without pausing or quitting f@h, but other than that it's stable.

How about 64bit XP? I just got an 8800GTX installed and see this in the logfile.
[23:39:12] - Successful: assigned to (130.49.240.81).

Just checked the Stanford server stats.
130.49.240.81 only had 108 work-units left to disk out on the last update.
Try stopping the client for 5 mins and hopefully when you restart, you'll get a different server.
I got 171.64.65.20 on my last upload and thats got a lot of work on it.

Luck ...............

These worked great for me, thanks for posting the link.

Nice.

If you are paranoid about binaries from unknown sources (like me), the GTX200 177.35 WHQL driver from NVIDIA works with the guru3d inf without pressing f8 at boot time.
