Which Quadro Driver?

Here’s what I found so far with verify.

 

Benchmark - HP Z400/W3550/2000

Verify time 9:09

 

Dell M6600/2760QM/3000M

Verify time 14:56 - Optimus on (bios) set for max performance, HT off

Verify time 8:30 - Optimus off set for max performance, HT on

Verify time 8:15 - Optimus off set for max performance, HT off

 

Looks like the Optimus feature needs to be off to give full control to the Quadro. My CPU usage during Verify shows 26% with HT off and 13% with it on but with Optimus on and HT off it was only 13%???

Is that 9 minutes and 9 seconds?

Our IT company just updated the drivers for my NVIDIA Quadro and now whenever I do any chaining picks everything goes to one screen on my dual screen display. Has anyone experienced this- and had to fix it? It sure is annoying.

Thanks,

Back in the day which video drivers you ran could be a very big deal.

The wrong drivers could cause problems from minor glitches to rendering your software completely nonfunctional

Nowdays, it doesn't seem to matter. I just run Nvidia's latest greatest and don't worry about it.

SolidWorks yells at me because I'm not using "SW Certified Drivers", but I ignore it and never have any problems.

One thing I always do with Dell workstations is uninstall the Dell drivers and replace them with Nvidia drivers.
