You have your answer already. ;-) The newest drivers are more memory aggressive, reporting less free memory to the system. You'll have to revert back to your older drivers if you're going to use a video card with the bare minimum amount of RAM. |

No need to ask - as you can see: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5511799 he is using: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT (256MB) driver: 19562 P.S. Some (e.g. Sutaru Tsureku) say that 190.38 is the fastest driver for this kind of GPU: [* Tests has shown that 190.x is the current fastest driver for CUDA calculation on 7/8/9xxx / GTS250 / GTX2xx GPUs. If you're also a gamer / or you have the new fermi graphic card (GTX4xx/5xx) / or you have Windows7, you could/should use 197.x+ . For to be sure, you should make a test which driver (190.x / 191.x / 195.x / 197.x) is the fastest / the best choice, for your system.] Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
