The version history shows improved CPU/GPU scheduling -- sounds awfully interesting if nothing else. So should we upgrade to the new version? My current version (which has run fine) is 6.6.38, driver version 19038, compute capability 1.1. (Click for detailed stats) ID: 13324 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The project has been recommending 6.10.3 for a while now, however now that 6.10.17 is a "release" version you might as well go with it. I posted a message in Nvidia graphics cards here. The major change with it between the 6.6.x versions was some bug fixes around scheduling and support of ATI graphics cards using CAL/Brook+. And before anyone asks, no there is no ATI app for GPUgrid at this point in time. Most of the projects either have a cuda app and/or are waiting on OpenCL to give the same level of functionality as cuda. BOINC blog ID: 13348 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I just tried to upgrade my CUDA driver to 2.3 (the latest version) and had some problems with it: it never finished installing (tried twice). Went back to GPUGrid download page, and, sure enough, GPUGrid recommends CUDA driver 2.2 with 185.85. Should I install 2.2 or 2.3?
