Nvidia has released beta drivers 195.39. They support CUDA 3.0 and OpenCL 1.0.

I have installed them on my GTX260 machine to see if it helps resolve the issues with GPUgrid tasks failing. There was no mention of the FFT bug in the documentation, so I doubt they have fixed it.

I don't have access to the CUDA Beta section (its only available to registered developers), so I don't have the cuda 3 runtime DLL's.

I lost the screen, but BOINC was still processing. Had to hit the reset button and reboot the machine. One task failed and aborted the other two. Now reinstalling older drivers.

Looks like I sold my GTX-260 and upgraded to GTX-285 was wise. As GT300 is going to be released next year, I think this problem will not be solved.
