Question

I got the message:

“cutilCheckMsg() CUTIL CUDA error :
kernel launch failure : CUDA driver
version is insufficient for CUDA
runtime version.”

While trying to run an example source code. Also happens for the function cutilSafeCall.

I am using:

• Windows 7 64bits
• Visual studio 2008
• CUDA developer driver, toolkit, and SDK 3.1
• Emulation mode

Answer 1

I saw the same at runtime with the latest driver on Mac OS 10.6.

cudaError_t error = cudaGetDevice(&device);
printf("%s\n", cudaGetErrorString(error));

I went back to the developer site, downloaded the driver again and now it runs.
