Hi, first what OS are you using? Also when using DDU in safe mode did you go to options to make sure there is a check mark by "prevent downloads of drivers from “windows update”?
windows 11 and yes about ddu i did notice in the registry there is a new entry that wasnt there with previous drivers R535_4181821 and if i delete it. then its back to freezing etc…
This is what my Registy looks like , I’m using driver 537.13. That looks to belong there as is. edit: I’m also on W11.
hmm well I am going to try this card in a different pc bc thats pretty much the only thing left to try.
BTW on the modding bios front I found some interesting commands related to clocks and falcon buried in an engineering release that I think might help.
That sounds interesting about the engineering release.
There could be one other thing to check in NCP, make sure ECC is disabled.
Edit3: Everything else looks like below? BTW I should have said I’m on W11 Pro .
I’m using the Quadro driver: 537.13-quadro-rtx-desktop-notebook-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql
I’ve had ECC enabled pretty much the whole time I’ve had the P40. When I updated to 537.13 I also disabled ECC. Benchmarks ran fine and got a slightly higher score as expected, but Starfield or BG3 did not launch. So I now have ECC enabled again and the games run fine. Have you tried with ECC enabled?
Hi, I do not have either of those games so I can’t say one way or the other if they would work for me. I looked at downloading both but not willing to buy just for a test. lol
Very new here… been lurking.
For the GAL.
For mixed usage, including plex transcoding and vGPU gaming via moonlight, would you guys recommend an M40 or P40?
Encoding info
GM200=m40
GP102=p40
A titan Xp clocked at 1950mhz performs about as well as a 3060, that said, a p40 which is the same chip, probably will not go much farther than 1500mhz unless you can get it to overclock
By TPU the Xp should be about 15% faster than the 3060 12GB.
I know my Titan X Pascal runs just a tad better 5% than my P100, 3060 and 6% P40 doing Cuda F@H. At boost clock, no OC 1809Mhz core.
Edit2: P40 clocks under load of CUDA.
Hello there friends didn’t know if there is a better place to post this but iv got a m40 running on a dell-precision-t5610 dual xenon system. in fact in the user manual for the system states that it can run with 2 6gb c-series tesla cards in the machine. so from that I took a gamble and picked up a MB from ebay for 35$ (i know it has propriety psu pinouts and such but its nothing for me to solder or repin a connector anything to keep cost down and reuse any ewaste i have) it would cost more but you could just buy a complete 5610 for under 200$. so when the manual stated that 2 6gb cards could be installed and that above 4g encoding (mem-map I/O) as its called the dell bios. this meant that a 12gb m40 should work as the system MB had 16GB of BAR space available according to the service manual. so with all of this being a big maybe and i only had to gamble with 50$ since i had everything else i needed. so i bought the parts, they came yesterday and im happy to report the card is recognized and working. i only have 8gb of ram for the system as that is all the EEC i had and this dell wont use non ECC like my t3600. i have 32 gb of ram coming when it gets here ill run some benchmarks. also is there a free version of timespy or something comparable for free ? feel free to ask any questions
Plenty of free games. Won’t be GamersNexus level comparable, but who cares, we’re not them. CSGO and Fortnite come to mind. If you suck at those, die and spectate.
word I don’t really care about benchmarking the system, I was just gonna try and add some info for others. it runs everything I want it to. I was pretty happy with my k40 setup but got the m40 for 40$ so I was like fuck it ill play around with it for that price. thanks for the info.
You can download the demo of 3D mark on steam and it has free versions of time spy
But I think you need paid version to select the card

thanks my dudes
Your welcome mate. Don’t forget you can flash the bios of that M40 to a Titan X and get much better clocks. The only bad thing is the bios we edited doesn’t work on all M40’s. I had two I tried using it on that those didn’t like the mod bios two others liked it well. Not sure what the difference are in the two that didn’t work correctly.
sweet would you happen to have a link. silicon lottery perhaps maybe different GPU die revisions ? but my biggest question could you restore the OEM factory bios after it didn’t play nice with the cards, oh and would you happen to know where to get the bios that allows for the smaller bar space on the m40 or does the titian bios cure that also.
I’ll have to do some looking for the bios file and a link I seem to have closed that web link I kept open for ever. But yes the bios fixed the bar space and was able to use the M40 on older motherboards that didn’t have above 4g in mb bios. Also yes backup your origanal bios just in case you need to go back. It wasn’t a problem for the cards I had to flash back to stock bios but those cards would never work in a mb that didn’t have above 4g like the other two did.
Edit: here is the link to the vbios we worked on.
I just noticed the download link is dead. I will try to locate the file on my PC I have it backed up some place as welll.

Here are the clock speeds I run 24/7 under load with my M40.
