A lot of 'older' NVidia cards, can sometimesbe used with success.
IIRC, the requirements for the GPU, are more demanding, FERMI,TESLA,
GTS250 didn't work in my rig. GT240,269-16,275,285,295 is OK, I heard, but Compute Cap.has to be 1.3. minimal, 2.0 recommended and CUDA 3.1
GTX480 failiar.

Probably already asked a thousend times, is there also an
ATI 5000, series, especially, 5850 & 5870 and 5970(2x5870)?
SETI, which will swap 2 Servers, BOINC DATA Base and Replica to handle in (much) increased load, a kind of permanent DDOS-attack......., you could say, it proofed to work, [i]Distributed Computing, whithout a doubt!
Now it's 'cracking'under it's heavy-(users)load. 1 million people, each using ~3
hosts, exception doen't prove the rule, here.

And I'm pleasted with the bonus added, when you return a task, whithin 12 or 24 hours? Will have a look :)

I started getting a new error on my remotely accessed GTX 570. Any idea what might be causing it or how to fix it?

@KPX,

I think you have to download the new nvidia.driver 266.58 and try again!

Good luck,

What do you mean by 'remotely accessed'? Both your machines here run Windows 7. If you use, in addition, the Windows "Remote Desktop" program, your tasks are bound to fail. That's not just GPUGrid, or BOINC GPU tasks in general, but all CUDA-based programs.

This is because of the new security model used for Windows 7 (and Vista) video drivers. When you use RDP, the NVidia driver - any version - is swapped out, and a Microsoft RDP driver, not CUDA compatible, is swapped in in its place.

Other remote access products, such as VNC or LogMeIn, do not suffer from this drawback.

Yes, I am accessing a Win7 computer over internet from a Win7 computer. I am using LogMeIn and alternatively testing TeamViewer, as I am already aware of the Windows 7 Remote Desktop problem with Cuda. However, the units are still failing. Is there anything I need to do to disable some of the Windows services related to Remote Desktop, or is there anything to setup in LogMeIn or TeamViewer? Or do I need to forget both these easy programs and learn VNC (which is bloody complicated...)?
