Is good for Octane? This driver have Cuda 3.1

If you read through the thread you'll see that some ppl are getting better performance from 197.45 drivers, but for me that wasn't the case.

I'll try removing the bridge, THANKS!

Up dated to the 215.21 WHQL drivers and no changes, still at 17.7 ... arg

The best part is that I don't need a space heater any more

Im using a GTX480 and getting about 9 megasamples on the bench scene which is even slower than 9.8 using the 257.15 beta drivers. I wonder why mine is slower, can mobo/cpu/psu make a difference?

Don't feel bad; my dual GTX 480 (SLI & physx disabled) rig is getting 17.7 megasamples/sec for a total ...

Has anyone tried the 256 drivers?

these export scripts only work with 2.2 versions, grab the 2.2 RC3 from the release candidates forum...

Thanks, that's better. One thing though; I'm guessing that it's not supposed to be upside-down when it comes into Octane?

Strange. Did you use the latest octane release?

Version 1.021 beta 2.1

Is that the one?
