Spotted this graphic over on Seti and thought it might be of interest here.

If they stick to the timetable we can expect cuda 3 (just in time for the G300 chipset) in the 4th quarter of 2009. This might prove interesting as we are still on 2.1 here, due to issues we had with cuda 2.2 and the 185.85 drivers.

From what the project devs said I thought the GPUgrid app has been compiled using cuda 2.1. They wanted to update to 2.2 to try and resolve some of the issues we get with later drivers and maybe use some of the newer features.

the app maybe built on 2.1 but users can install cuda 2.2 as 2.2 is built upon 2.1..... 3.0 arch we make a little bit of a leap.

As GDF has said they are going to recompile the whole thing this week with cuda 2.1 in this message thread. Sounds like bits of it are compiled with 2.1, but not all of it.

Hopefully we can then progress to 2.2 some time soon after, seeing as 2.3 is due out already.
