A few days ago, I built a PC with old cards I found here at home.

I updated the drivers to the latest ones, but because it is an old card, Nvidia NVS 300, the last update is from: 2016 December 14.

Would there be a way to get around this? Because there is always a message asking to update the GPU Driver, although it already has the most current one.

Thanks.

Hi olicheski,
sorry, but that card is quite outdated. Even 15 years ago, it was considered a low-end model. This project relies on FP64 support, which isn't supported, not to mention the lack of CUDA support (only 1.2).

even if it were technically possible to build an app for such an old card, based on the performance estimate, it would likely take around 5 days to complete a single task. Your C2D can finish 2 tasks in just 2:45 hours, so it's definitely not worth it.

there’s a slim possibility that some OpenCL-based projects that don’t depend on FP64 might still run on that card (try Einstein or PrimeGrid), but in any case, the performance will be extremely poor.

thanks for the answer.

but I built a PC with spare parts here at home, for testing.

so much so that it is a processor

intel core 2 E7400
very old.

with 4Gb of ram.

thanks for the answer again.
