sorry, stupid typo. I did refer to 332.76.
for me it has been stable so far.
I am using 332.76 on Quadro 4000, on Windows 7 SR1, with dual 1920x1200 monitors and it has been rock solid.
Here are the drivers I find on Nvidia’s site. I have a GT610 card. I don’t the 332.76, should I try to install it?? Or rather reinstall one of the oldest one proposed in this list?
I see the latest drivers for a Quadro are the 334.95… They have a small note on the info page:
This driver offers performance improvements over previous driver versions, including workstation compatibility fixes.
Wonder what that means…?

You’ve tested 332.76, 333.11 and 334.95…?
–Mitch
I just installed Nvidia driver 333.11 for my Quadro K4000, running under Windows 8.1 pro-64 bit. I’ll update in a few days if it works any better.
In the meantime, “Save early, save often.”
No @Helvetosaur, I haven’t. I don’t have a Quadro. Jeff does and does testing from time to time. He’s currently working with the Nvidia driver people to help sort out some of these problems. For a long time they have ignored us and now it seems they have been pestered by enough Rhino users they decided to reach out.
I hope it gets sorted.
I went back to the 334.89. It does crash. I’ll try to install the 331.58 one and see if it helps.
My file is about 30Mo. I guess it’s kinda heavy. But can it be related to those crashes?
One other thing I keep seeing is the built in Nvidia tool for checking for driver updates seems to be wrong a lot of the time.
Any time I’m looking for a driver I go here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
It shows 335.23 from March 10 there now for an Nvidia GeForce GT 610 under Win7/8/8.1
It’s the last driver I’ve had installed but this one or the previous one doesn’t prevent rhino from crashing.
So I found the version 327.23 (released 2013.9.19). I will test this one. If it works, I’ll tell you, if not then I can say it’s not related to the drivers because at this time, I had never had a crash like I’m facing nowadays.
That’s what Jeff found when he tested them before and found the one that worked for Win7. That’s what prompted my comment that I was not aware of a “good” driver for Win 8/8.1 yet.
I had a lot problems with drivers of the last weeks, but at the moment 334.95 works stable for my Quadro 6000, no crashes since a few days anymore.
I enabled the workstation dynamic streaming mode, enabled max power usage at the 3D settings and set the TDR registry entries.
enabled max power usage at the 3D settings
Did you make a profile for Rhino, or did you alter the “workstation dynamic streaming” mode?
and set the TDR registry entries.
What setting did you use?
No, I deleted the profile for Rhino and edit the global “workstation dynamic streaming” mode for max power, because I had crashes for Photoshop and other software too.
For TDR I set level 0 and delay 20.
Thanks for the info Micha!
I set the level back to 3 and delay at 10, since my computer freezed after Nivida crashes and no driver restart started. Also since I install the Quadro 6000 card I had the problem that my machine doesn’t wake up after standby some times and maybe I found a solution now - I installed a bios update and now it seems to work. At the update infos was written “fix stability problems”. So, maybe this info is helpful for other graphic crashes too.
Last I had some strong Nivida driver problems and Windows 7 automatic installed the latest driver 335.23. Works quite stable yet.
