2 post above your post tho not for xp... in windows 7 2 work units at same time has about a min longer added to the time but works really good for my testing of it... different cards have had different results.. like many was using the 310.70 driver and it would stop and crash my pc and not theirs... give it a shot but keep the older driver handy just in case you need to go back to it...

Back in early November I put another request in with NVIDIA to re-enable PCI-E 3.0 support in their latest Linux drivers. Any of the drivers post 295.33 had 3.0 support disabled at least for LGA2011 processors. NVIDIA recently added an option to enable PCI-E 3.0 with their 310.32 drivers.
PCI-E 3.0 can be enabled via a kernel module parameter.
modprobe nvidia NVreg_EnablePCIeGen3=1
This should give a nice performance boost with BRP4 when using Linux, Kepler, and LGA2011 processors. I am still seeing a 10-15% increase in performance with BRP4 when switching from x16 2.0 to x16 3.0.
I've been using the 310.90 drivers on my GA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550Ti Windforce edition (factory OC to 970 Mhz) almost from the time they became available.
No problems with them at all including E@H GPU tasks (0% error rate on hundreds of WUs).
Yesterday I decided to try out the 313.96 beta drivers - till now I've encountered NO problems at all (maybe a very slight performance drop regarding the CPUt - but nothing more than max of 5s, but that could be also to other factors).

My hard drive running Windows for my dual 580 system crashed a few days ago unfortunately. Since then I switched to a PXE boot of Linux until I can get a replacement disk which will probably be a SSD this time around.
Running two tasks per GPU and driver 310.32, I am seeing run time of slightly over 1500 seconds per GPU, which is a bit better than what I saw in Windows. In Windows, a single task would take 820-840 seconds to complete per GPU. Running two tasks per GPU in Windows did not give any gains over running one task last I tried. Both cards are in x16 2.0 slots.
I think the HD5830 entry needs correcting; it was given as 2,916s x1 higher up in this thread, however in the PDF 2,916s appears in the x2 column.
Only noticed it because I thought I'd try an AMD GPU, and bought an HD5830 on eBay as it appeared to have amazing performance for the price :) When I got 2,850s x1, that was slower than expected so I checked back and spotted the typo.

I wonder if that has any effect on PCIe 2.0 platforms that NVIDIA only let run at PCIe 1.0 speeds (e.g. Intel X38). Certainly the 295.xx drivers only run at PCIe 1.0 speed on some Intel PCIe 2.0 platforms (you can check by running the settings program and looking under the 'PowerMizer' link - 2.5GT/s for PCIe 1.0, 5.0GT/s for PCIe 2.0 and presumably 10GT/s for PCIe 3.0).

I was just wondering if anyone had tried the newest GeForce drivers since I was checking an email from them.
I haven't tried the new 310.90 yet

Thanks for pointing it out, I'll give it a go!
