Hi.
Just to report, that the new Nvidia drivers 180.84 fix memory leakages upon CUDA app exit on WinXP 64bit. Have tested it by exiting BOINC while running a GPU wu and saw GPU memory being released (using RivaTuner).

BR,

I am trying it also, after seven failed WUs in a row, I upgraded to 180.84 this afternoon. Got two WUs, so far so good, about a quarter way through the first now. Running XP64 with a single 260, failed WUs had Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)

I run new Seti Cuda also on Win. XP64. It would not run more than 3 WUs on anything other than 180.84, it fixed " out of memory" errors. So far GPU grid is running trouble free with 180.84 on Win XP64.

UPDATE: Working like a champ :) finished one and started in on another without a hitch. Even have a few SWETIs running in the mix!

Thanks Vid Vidmar!

Well I didn't post any links, because I couldn't find these drivers on Nvidia site, however googling for "cuda 180.84" should give you plenty of results.

BR,

Thx guys. Ofc I`ve found this driver, but it wasn`t available at Nvidia website just at specific websites as e.g. Guru3d. Well I thought it`s some beta driver or mby driver after some modification done by Guru3D or someone else... And that was I`ve asked for ;). Mby I wasn`t exact enough with my qeustion :).
