Description
Windows driver automatically reduces fan speed, reducing noise and power consumption. Could you do something like this in Haiku?

BTW, You might have a look at a cardBIOS update if you know how to update such a thing. It might be that a newer BIOS for your card silences the fan a bit..

Hi,
So this card will not be supported by the current nVidia driver.

Feature request actually. A new seperate driver should support this card. No error in current driver.

Remove milestone for tickets with status = closed and resolution != fixed
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
We don't have a nVidia driver for the GF8 and later series yet. (It exists, but does nothing yet: dev still has to be started on this).
Once we have a driver, we can probably (hopefully) lower the fan rotational speed indeed. the program nvclock (for windows and linux) has code in it to set the rotational speed for a number of cards, maybe for yours as well. Such code could be implemented in our driver to be.
The GF8 and later cards currently run in VESA mode on haiku. The only downsides of that currently are:
acceleration currently isn't used by the app_server anyway, and setting modes (resolution/colordepth) can be done these days using VESA mode on the fly.
Hope this info is enough for now.
Bye!
Rudolf.
