I just noticed that a system that has gtx280 and gtx460 is being assigned CUDA_FERMI and both GPUs are getting work. I assume that is OK since I don't see any errors. As I recall, gtx280 is not a fermi.

IIRC, I have had both stock and Lunatics Fermi apps running on an old GTS 8800 without problems.

Early this year the 8800 was pressed back into service after a new GTS 450 failed and was being replaced. That happened twice!

I eventually settled on a GTX 460, and keep on crunching!

No problems.
