On the Join page for the project, it lists that BOINC client version 6.10.36 is recommended for use.

Is there any particular reason why this is the case, or better yet, any reason why someone should _not_ use 6.10.58/.60 with GPUGrid?

I had been running 6.10.58 previously on one of the my crunching boxes, and then out of the blue it up and started failing every WU after ~March 10-11.

On a second go around on my newer box, I intentionally installed 6.10.36 to see if it made any difference, and so far so good, but no guarantee I guess.

So I'm just trying to find out for my own edification which BOINC client version is preferable to use.

Sorry if this has been asked before, and thank in advance for any input here.

Someone might change that some time. Maybe even this year...

It's fine to use other Boinc versions ;)

As Skgiven says any will do. 6.10.58 was the last "recommended" version. The only difference with 6.10.60 is a screen saver fix, so if you don't use the BOINC screen saver no need to upgrade.

I'm using 6.12.18 on most of my rigs. There are some changes around scheduling GPU tasks but no compelling reason to upgrade. Its a beta test version, so you might want to stay away from it.
