Qosmio F750 - CUDA and display driver issue
Posted: 07-Jun-2012 00:45

Hello,

I need to do scientific parallel computer with my Qosmio F750, but I'm unable to run the basic test of CUDA called "bandwidthTest.exe". It returns the following error:

cudaGetDeviceProperties return 35
-> CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
...

I researched about this problem, and all people agreed that the driver of my display has to be updated. I have version 290 already of the driver, but the latest version is 301.24. Why can't I simply install the NVidia drivers from NVidia's website like I do with all my other computers?

What can I do to solve this problem? I don't want the certified driver from Toshiba... I just want a standard NVidia driver.

Thank you for any efforts.

Silas

With computers you mean laptops or desktops? I don’t know where do you work but I presume in your company or institution where are you working there is IT department. Contact people who are working there and I hope they can help you with explanation why you cannot use original NVIDIA drivers.

There is big difference between notebooks and desktops. Desktop graphic cards are supported by graphic card manufacturers directly but on mobile units support is by notebook manufacturers.
There are many reasons for that.

Thank you for your reply.

Qosmio F750 is a laptop, which has GeForce 540M. I used to have GeForce 9600M on my old laptop, but I could always update the drivers the way I want, and my computer wasn't a slave to Toshiba drivers. That's why I'm surprised. Neither Notebook drivers from Nvidia nor Desktop drivers are working...

What's the point of doing that? it's just the same chipset!!!!! Is there any workaround to force custom drivers to be installed on my computer?

Helpful

Take a look at www.laptopvideo2go.com and download the latest driver in conjunction with a modified .inf
Then you'll have no probs running the latest 3xx drivers on your Qosmio

Thanks a lot man, this is exactly what I was looking for. But what version should I choose? I went to download drivers and took the latest and it didn't work.

Could you please explain the idea to me?

The latest version available for my vendor IDs are 290... but I think it's way better than 260. Thanks a lot

If you know any source for 300x please let me know. Thanks a again

Well, you can always try the latest version. Just replace the supplied .inf file with the "Modified .inf" you'll find in that forum. Take a look and you'll see what I mean.

As I said, I've been running the latest 30x driver for a few weeks on my F750 without any problems. Even the 3D mode works like a charm...
