For those that don't know the 195.62 drivers support CUDA 3.0 and OpenCL 1.0 code. I am currently using the cuda 2.3 DLL's. The cuda 3.0 DLL's are only available to registered nvidia developers at the moment. So far i've run some seti cuda work without any issues (apart from a couple of VLAR's that I aborted). I have now picked up 2 GPUgrid tasks and they have started, so i'll know in about 6 hours how it goes. BOINC blog ID: 13792 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I have the same GTX-card and driver more than a week and all works fine. Seti - Collatz - Milky Way - Einstein - GPU grid. All OK. I also have one machine with GTX 260. I cannot install this driver 195.62 so i have to stay on 191.07. Any reason already known? ID: 13794 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Win. XP64, Nvidia 195.62 runs good. Although I have not had any problems with my 260s ever, with any driver. Except overclocking too much. They are 55nm 260s.

Maybe the project can get a cuda30 plan class organised so we can use cuda 3.0? BOINC blog ID: 13808 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'll upgrade the Win 7 (64 bit) machine and see how it goes next. And that worked as well. Next i'll try my dual GTX260 machine. They haven't worked with GPUgrid for some time, so i'm not expecting it to work but you never know. According to GPU-Z they have 65nm G200 chips.

As expected that didn't work. Got the usual cufft errors. So I guess they'll stick with other projects for the time being. BOINC blog ID: 13821 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
