Hi all,
New to this project, and I'm getting some errors crunching GPU tasks. My GPU is a GTX980 which is a bit long in the tooth but manages CUDA tasks on other projects (i.e. PrimeGrid) without issue. Win10, running latest version of the NVIDIA drivers, updated today. Error message is below. Is this card just too old for this project?

<core_client_version>8.0.2</core_client_version>

Could be, the Maxwell 2 cards are supposed to be supported, but the app has to make some drastic changes in running to accommodate those cards. Your card might be an Maxwell type 1 card in fact and why it fails. Might PM boysanic specifically and ask him what the error indicates. He is the admin and main tester for the app developers.

GTX 980 is Maxwell 2.0
