All GPU WU instantly crash and gives the following error
Error in OpenCL context: CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE error executing CL_COMMAND_WRITE_BUFFER on GeForce GTX 460 (Device 0)

Can anyone help?

My understanding is that there has been no reduction in the amount of GPU-RAM the app will use since the release of the first version. The only change to the GPU-RAM requirements has been the server side setting on the lowest limit of GPU-RAM to send tasks to.

If the GPU is borderline on available GPU-RAM then tasks may fail with an "out of memory" error.
