Best Linux Driver for GTX 1080

[ocw]

Does anyone know which is the best driver for GTX 1080? I tried 370 but the card could not fold at all. Thanks a lot. I fold on 64 bit ubuntu 14.04.

I run 367.21 on CentOS 7; from nVidia site ... But actually want to upgrade to latest version.
Run 1070 and 980ti
Did you downloaded from nVIdia site ?

I installed the driver through ubuntu ppa. A lot of bad work units appear after downloading and never began to fold.

Depend on the source there might be important libs missing; OpenCL.

Can your share parts of your lot showing GPU detection and how the WU fail ?

Can you try the nVidia site install via .run file ; there is a good "how to" in the nVidia section of this forum.

The drivers PPA is known to excluded the necessary OpenCL driver functionality.

I'm running two GTX 1080's under Ubuntu 16.04, using drivers download from the Ubuntu "Graphics Drivers PPA" (see link).
This allows you to select a driver in the Ubuntu Software & Updates/Additional Drivers section (it's a lot less faff than the .run process). Currently running nVidia version 367.44 - no problems.
