CPU and GPU


GPU ONLY

 

Well good suggestion grumpy, I did learn a little more! Here is what I did - I hooked up an external display, ranit in "duplicate" mode. Started install of 320.0.

I tried Run as Administrator just in case. I also went into the non-default install, and clicked on Perform a clean installation just in case. About 1/5th the way through the driver install, both displays go blank, and then the external display comes on! Install finishes fine.

So I Fn-F8 to see if it's just a matter of turning on the laptop display, and that display is not there. "Computer only" choice has a red line through it. I go into the NVIDIA Control Panel, and it sees 1 display only, the external one. It lists Display Port, Display Port (1), Display Port (2), DisplayPort (3), all were "not connected". I went back to Fn-F8 and tried "Duplicate" or "extend", and they did not. I kept poking around the NVIDIA Controll Panel, and I saw no evidence of the laptop's display.

Then, I reinstalled 311.50, doing the "Perform a clean installation". About 1.5th the way through, the laptop display pops back on, and I have both displays on! Everything completes as usual.

Does anyone have any ideas, wait for next driver or is there something to check/configure/adjust? Thanks!

 

Same here. Tried 320.00 last weekend: internal display is not recognized (used). Reverted to 314.07 and everything was fine...

Cheers,
Alex

 

Northern-Loop, did you make sure that the K3000m was used and not the IGP during the luxmark benchmark. I'm asking because my M6000 is getting around 5 to 6 times the score you got in luxmark. The specviewperf scores are good though.

 

I've actually disabled optimus in the bios because it slows me down in Pr.

I see, thanks.

 

I'll rerun the test again tonight.

I reran the test and same result but I did notice that I can't just run it for CPU only?

 

Luxmark is an OpenCL which is meant for GPGPU so that doesn't really surprise me.

So far, I pulled the results from notebookcheck for the 680m and 7970m as well as Bokeh's benchmark from when he first got his M6700, it would be nice to get current results for the K5000m and K4000m though. At worse, I'll pull the specviewperf results form notebookcheck to make an aggregate chart. Let's just say that your K3000m is destroying the 680m so far.

 

Well I have purchased a K5000m if it ever turns up (thats another story)

Reran lux with the Quadro 320 drivers and made no difference from the GeForce one I used.

Adobe will be moving down the OpenCL route for the next release so would push me back to Quadro cards.
