They support CUDA 3.0 and OpenCL 1.0. I have installed them on my GTX260 machine to see if it helps resolve the issues with GPUgrid tasks failing. There was no mention of the FFT bug in the documentation, so I doubt they have fixed it. I don't have access to the CUDA Beta section (its only available to registered developers), so I don't have the cuda 3 runtime DLL's. 1/11/2009 12:33:58 AM NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 260 (driver version 19539, CUDA version 3000, compute capability 1.3, 896MB, 537 GFLOPS peak) 1/11/2009 12:33:58 AM NVIDIA GPU 1: GeForce GTX 260 (driver version 19539, CUDA version 3000, compute capability 1.3, 896MB, 537 GFLOPS peak) BOINC blog ID: 13332 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Had to hit the reset button and reboot the machine. One task failed and aborted the other two. Now reinstalling older drivers. BOINC blog ID: 13343 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

As GT300 is going to be released next year, I think this problem will not be solved. ID: 13401 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
