GPU memory for BRP3 tasks

(moderation:
I received my first BRP3 cuda tasks today and they stop after about 10 seconds. It's then written: waiting for GPU memory. Is it caused by the small memory of my GPU and is there a way to correct that?
Thank you

Is the new version for windows, version 4.25, is faster the old one, version 4.19. If so, I will download the newest verion.

How much memory is there on your GPU?
Is it on a (video)card, or is it an on-board GPU?
How much memory is still free on it?
Since you have your computer hidden, you'll have to give this information to us, if you want us to help you.
I just changed my E@H

I just changed my E@H preferences. You should be able to see the information you need.

You´ve not enough RAM.

You´ve not enough RAM. (NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS (255MB))
The CUDA-tasks need up to 300MB of RAM on my GTX 260.
The server shouldn´t give you any CUDA-task.

That should be ok for current BRP3 tasks.
BRP3 tasks? Or the older ABP2?
There are two settings: The server shouldn't give CUDA tasks to machines with less than 250MB of total GPU RAM. Current BRP tasks are reported to the clients as using 210MB. The client won't start the tasks as long as it finds this much GPU RAM free.
So it looks like you have enough physical memory, but something else (3D effects of your OS) take up so much that there isn't enough left for the task to start.

Missing a "doesn't" in there? As in "The client won't start the tasks as long as it doesn't find this much GPU RAM free." ?? As else everyone's CUDA tasks will forever be waiting to start, especially on systems with large amount of RAM of their CUDA cards. ;-)

Yes. :-) :-)
[pre]while(GPU_RAM < 210MB) {
dont_start();
print("Merry Xmas Bernd!");

Cheers, Mike.
