Weird one maybe, but whats the preferred screen resolution to use with the CUDA application?
It doesn’t really matter as long as there is enough video memory available. Even on a 256MB GPU card, at 1920x1200x32bpp resolution it would consume only 10MB of VRAM and it’s likely that any extra off screen GDI memory is no more than another 10MB. That still gives S@h CUDA enough to do its thing given the fact that there is no other app running consuming more VRAM. Just realize that on a single primary GPU, CUDA and GDI (Desktop) have to share the same device so running Photoshop or playing Youtube video will rob CUDA of some crunching performance and vise versa running SETI@home will rob perf from your desktop app. It’s best to just run with a blank screen saver (or the BOINC screen saver).
