Graphics card drivers

[Guest]

I have been a little out of touch with this lately. What are the most recent stable drivers for the Nvidia GTX and Nvidia Quadro cards? The last known working driver for me was 270.61.

Thanks.

James, if you are running the latest version of Vray, then the 290.36 drivers are your best bet, at least for the 5-series GTX cards (not sure about the Quadros).

There have been a few uploads of new Vray 2.2 builds in the last couple of days so it might make sense for you to download the current version up there, install the nVidia 290.36 drivers, do the recompile (caution: takes longer and uses more RAM) and see what you get. Everything is working perfectly here with those steps.

Hope this helps,

Like Alan said, the 290.xx drivers work well for the GTX. For the Quadro, I think the current drivers are older generation (276.xx) and don't seem to work as well unfortunately (but then again, I haven't tested extensively).

Yes Quadro 400 I am using driver 275.89 ( recommend by Autodesk ) and VRAY RT CPU crashed a lot randomly !!!
Machine with Win7 24cores Intel I7 and 24Gb of ram.

That would be odd as the CPU version doesn't require any assistance from the graphics card. Is that on any scene, or some scene in particular?

No, so unfortunately I don't have any ready suggestions for you. Did this ever work with a previous version of V-Ray on the same machne?
