Hello,

I recently upgraded my nvidia gtx760 to driver release 335.23 (release date 3/10/14) and my gpu has disappeared now from projects that use it.

Is BOINC coming out with a new release soon or do I need to downgrade?

Thanks!

Whenever the GPU detection worked before you updated drivers, and doesn't anymore after you updated drivers, check the drivers. Or wait for BOINC to start until the drivers have fully loaded.

That's to say, you did update the drivers to ones from the Nvidia website, not to ones in Windows? As these latter lack the necessary components for CUDA and OpenCL detection. Only the drivers from the GPU manufacturer have these components included.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the input. I did a fresh installation of the drivers (which I always get from nvidia) and then did a repair of boinc and it's all good now.

Next time I will be more conscientious of upgrading!'

Thanks!
