Hi everyone,

I wanted to put this out there as I'm seeing a high error rate on tasks running on older GPUs.

I've spent a chunk of time digging into these, and the most prevalent error is a launch timeout error from the cuda driver.
This is a possible indication of either hardware failure, or a buggy driver.

If you see a lot of "Error 702" failing tasks, please update your drivers to the latest possible for your OS and video card, as there's potentially an issue with your current driver preventing work from completing on your card.

Please let us know if you have any questions, or need any help determining the issue.

Thanks!

What do you consider "older" cards. Not surely 3080's and such. I am getting a LOT of "illegal memory access" errors on several hosts. No issues with other projects on those cards, however.

An example: https://minecraftathome.com/minecrafthome/result.php?resultid=10473679

Running the lastest kernels and drivers.

My GTX 750 is failing the these tasks, however I don't think it's hardware or driver as Primegrid and other projects that run on it don't error out, and it's running on the latest driver for the card as far as I'm aware.
