quadro fx 570

[Roger Peterson]

I have a customer who is having issues with this card. When running at full hardware acceleration you get random "pauses" for 15 seconds to up to a minute where everything just stops. If you turn down the hardware acceleration enough the pauses go away but it becomes unuseably slow.

 

This is with the latest drivers downloaded yesterday, I tried running mastercam having it set to solidworks, and to base profile turning off the unified back depth buffer all with the same (bad) results.

 

Can anyone who is running this card "successfully" tell me what driver version they are running and what their 3d settings are set to?

 

thank you,

I am running that card. I have my settings for CATIA and letting the application control hardware accel. It seems to be pretty decent, however this computer was just passed down to me a few days ago so I may not have found all the issues yet.

[Roger Peterson]

Interesting, I've never tried setting one to catia. Let me know how it works out.

 

 

Thank you,

Roger,

 

I have a fx570 and I'm running the following version of driver: 6.14.11.9166

 

I do not experience any problems.

 

If you could be more specific with what settings you are interested in, I'd be glad to relay them to you.

[Roger Peterson]

what do you have for a profile selected, solidworks, proe, base profile, etc...?

 

 

hardware acceleration?

 

 

back depth buffer?

 

 

Thank you,

I also have the FX570 with driver version 6.14.11.9166... Never experience any "pauses", but often that it's freezing for some seconds, often under situations, where I wouldn't expect it..

 

As far as I remember there were someone with troubles with that card some time ago on the forum here...

[Roger Peterson]

when I try to lookup 6.14.11.9166 I don't find anything on nvidia's website. Is there another number you can access that I can search for, for example they driver versions 191.66 or 191.93, etc... Or even if you can give me the driver date I can see which it corresponds to.

 

 

Thank you,

Roger, I just picked up an FX570 used from ebay for $60. I just installed it this evening and set it up with driver 6.14.11.8246 (182.46 WHQL) that I downloaded from the solidworks web site. Nvidia site has the same driver and a newer one which I have not tried. I didn't change any settings except for setting it to clone mode. It is driving my monitor and projector just fine. I tested for only 15 minutes in Mastercam and in Solidworks with Mastercam for Solidworks installed. It seemed to be running fine. I have classes all week so I will let you know how it goes. Edit: BTW using Windows XP Pro SP3 on this particular box.

[Roger Peterson]

thank you scott, I hope it works out well. I've spoken to a couple of others with 570's and they had the latest drivers set to solidworks, I think he may just have a bad card.

[Reko]

Sorry Roger. I'm not sure where to find all of the information you've asked for.

 

I did find the driver date, I just downloaded the newest one a few months ago. It is 10/30/2009.

 

The global settings in the NVidea Control panel is set to 3D App - Default Global Settings.

 

Hope that helps. If you can give me more detail as to where to look, I'll try to help more.

 

Feeling like a rookie right now.
