NVIDIA GT 650m with OPTIMUS technology. help needed

[dobermann1601]

thanks everybody for info. I'm tired to recover system everytime when I fail, so I have another question, is it possible to passthrought video card to virtual machine. I just installed vmware 9.0,Backtrack5 r3 64 bit already installed inside, but I have no idea yet how to transfer my video card there. As I thought, It would be only one card , ( no more optimus technology) running full mode with all nescessary software and drivers, performing higher pyrit benchmark rate. Does somebody knows is it possible to do so>?

Thanks everyone for replying. Before trying bumpleebe soft, I found another way - to install cuda 5.0 together with lates nvidia drivers, upon reboot and start up I did not updated nvidia-xconfig, Next I install pyrit etc, so benchmark for nvidia 650m is 6000. and 4000 for 8 cores of i7. (total 10000) I've expected more . Can somebody tell me is it could be higher if GPU properly installed>? (with bumplebee software and updated nvidia-xconfig file). What is benchmark rate on others computer with same grafic card inside>?

Hi dobermann1601,

Can you give us a heads up on how you finally installed it. I have a similar system corei7, GT650m 6gb RAM etc. I pretty much gave up on it while working another project. I also like yourself have installed Cuda/Nvidia on a Core 2 duo with a GT230m got 2292.0 PMKs/s. I have followed Samiux's tutorials successfully in the past for that one.
If you can give me more detail on what you did then I can run a benchmark in pyrit to compare with you. I agree with you those figures are a little disappointing .
Thanks for your help


cheers
