Problem With 4 x GTX 690 on supercomputer please help :-)

dcnx

hello,

We need help, we have a Tyan supercomputeur B7015F72V2R and we installed 4 GTX 690 with driver 306.63
configuration B7015F72V2R
2 x xeon E5620
144GB DDR3
Adaptec Raid Card: 7805 1024Mo Cache
450GB OCZ Deneva 2 3 (Raid 0)
OS : Windows 7 Pro 64Bit
PSU : 3 X 1200 Watts
the gtx 690 are well recognized and we have no error.
when eight GPUs are enabled we have openGL version 1.1
and when we disable 3 GPU and OpenGL version 4.2. is ok
Could you help us, we think this is a driver problem.
Is it possible to find a solution for OpenGL 4.2 are actived for 8 GPU
We tried with the latest driver 310.70 nvidia and with have a black screen.
We can see error with OpenGl extensions viewer 4.0.8

Thank you in advance for your answers and your help.
Sorry for my bad english.

Best Regards
DCNX

Congrats to your supercomputer!

Try install and run Octane Render 1.0 demo to see if 8 GPU's enabled or not.

I like Octane Render.

Yes i tried to install and run octane render demo.
And i enable the 8 gpu in cuda 5.0 and it s ok. With furmark i can see the 8 gpu work when i run a render.
But opengl version load is always in 1.1

Thanks for this first answer.
If anybody have a idea for help us it s cool.

So your problem is that when you enable Quad-SLi(8gpu's) the OpenGL version reverts back to v1.1 instead of v4.2 and only when you use SLi/Tri-Sli it correctly uses OpenGL v4.2.

I have no idea why and I'm sure you have contacted Nvidia support already and if you didn't already you should have.

SLI is only quad GPU, which means it works for only 2x GTX 690 (since each card has 2 GPUs inside). I guess you can use 4 of them for CUDA though.

I think you should have chosen the "Tesla" line and it's drivers that are optimized for workhorse scenarios. There is a reason for existence of Tesla cards and their price (to some point).
I know it's not helping very much but I just thought I should put it out there.
I would sell those 690s and buy a Tesla based solution (it also gives you best possible support from nVidia team if you should encounter any problems since you will be buying a professional grade gear and will be treated as such)

OpenGl don't want to load in version 3.0 4.2 or 4.3.
Could you help me?
I don't understand why the 8 Gpu are Ok with Octane render 1.0 demo.....
i have open a case in Nvidia Support but for the moment no solution.
i don't use the SLI.
If anybody have a solution????
thank you for your help

hello,

We have a little problem on our progress.
We perform the test driver 310.90 and screen.
Already done a good thing. Then we tested three GTX 690 ave an ATI, the screen is connected to the ATI OpenGL and there starts in version 4.2.
NVIDIA does not always provide a solution to our problem, test time on their side.
Anyone have a idea for a run we got our 4 GTX 690 and get 8 GPU with OpenGL 4.3.

Thank you for your feedback

And Sorry for my bad english.

Are you kidding me?

This is like a Petty Officer aboard USS Enterprise (CVN-65) asking fishermen in local marina how to fix a nuclear reactor.

How about contacting Tyan and Nvidia. You have their 24h support, right?

After looking at those specs, i wanna run away and never return again!

Dude if you have such a problem, contact nvidia and tell them. Only they'll be able to help.

Also if that computer isn't meant for gaming(which i very much doubt) i think you should switch to Quadro or Tesla based graphic cards instead of a GeForce.

I don't know how to fix your problem (none of us here can fix your problem), but, can we have some screenshots of Crysis and Battlefield 3 running on 8 screens in 4x2 configuration for 8x1920x1080? thanks!

It is a little shocking to see the remarks in this thread.

I'm sure the OP will never come back again as apparently its too hard for the Guru3D community to actually do what he came here for in the first place .. helping him out with an issue. Pretty much similar to how most of you guys originally ended up here (you probably did get help).

Gents, if you can not behave in a thread and derail from the topic or start insulting, then I'd be happy to point you the way out of these forums.
