i have an NVIDIA 630M card with 2GB dedicated RAM, with the latest AND LAST drivers (2018).
No BOINC project for several years has used my GPU (even though they used to, so I'm guessing some older driver worked, and the latest ones NVIDIA changed somehow to not work (BOINC hasn't changed major version numbers since my GPU crunched).
Does this click with anyone?

I downloaded several driver files from past years and plan on uninstalling latest and using drivers from 3-5 years ago.
Any other suggestion?
David

Wie ich so gesehen habe bei mir funktionieren die neuen Treiber von 511.79 .... 5.... etc. die neuen auch nicht sehr viele Fehlermeldungen innerhalb der Berechnungen

Ich probiere nun einen 471.96 aus wenn er läuft ist es gut und habe noch diese version 496.49 zu probieren herunter geladen.
aber es stimmt was du sagst die neuen Treiber damit gibt es Probleme
mfg.

As I've seen, the new drivers from 511.79 ......5 ....etc. work for me... the new ones don't have very many error messages within the calculations either

I am trying out a 471.96 now if it works fine and have downloaded this version 496.49 to try.
but it is true what you say the new drivers so there are problems

Kind regards.
