I have a proliant server system running windows server 2012. Slowly getting used to it as server 2012 seems to be based on win 8 . I am using a fireproGL V5600 card for the graphics. Win server seems to keep unloading the AMD drivers and substituting the windows graphics drivers which look terrible. Not really a problem as I am not using the card to crunch but was wondering if anyone has experience with win 2012 server and knows how to stop it doing it ? Does it try and do the same with win 8 ?
I have seen win 7 do the same but only when swapping out a card for a different card, in this case it just seems to do it. Reinstall the AMD drivers no problem and then some time later when I check the system it has reverted again.

I have had similair behaviour with Win8.1, especially with my HD7790. Bloody nuisance, as the old AMD driver will support the Ati Stream/Brook++ API and has twice the computing power of the Windows approved driver....

Win8.1 -with me- also refuses to let various GPUs cooperate while crunching.
It is either Intel OR AMD OR nVidia, not a combination. As soon as OpenCL kicks in, the computer will crash when more than one kind of GPU is active. Under Win8 I could crunch using Intel, AMD AND nVidia together.

So yet another set forward from Microsoft, the world greatest operating system
Personally I'm thinking of all Linux and stocking up of win xp disks whilst they are still around.
