BAM!

Steve, I could kiss you. Rolled back to 301.1 available in the beta / archive section on the nvidia site, now it works flawlessly. I wonder if changing the registry keys to lengthen the tdrDelay time helped as well.

I was going insane. Going to have some comparison benchmarks up soon, with a cool GPU benchmark project for 11.0.1

Definitely running 11.0.1 on splash screen. i know that's driver series not cuda. i have cuda 4.2.9 drivers. going to 290 not possible, because 290 driver range doesn't support Kepler cards, but you're on to something. I just downloaded the brand new 301.42 which came out may 23, maybe I should roll back to an earlier 301.xx point release

I also thought since I was getting graphics timeout errors it might be windows gfx tdr (timeoutDelayRecovery) so I edited some windows registry keys. No luck. Instead of crashing, system just hung until I rebooted. It seems like 680 takes too long to initialize with ae and windows crashes?

Running out of options. I even created a new user login with clean system files and did a clean install of ae. No luck. Back to the 580 I guess for now

those aren't CUDA drivers. CUDA drivers are in the 4.2.x range right now. those are display drivers. you may actually need to go back into the 290 range. for quadro its 270 range. before you think those are "stale" drivers, please know that 27x.xyz are given bug fixes / updates. so increments in the .xyz part counts. while they may lack certain major feature additions / updates, they provide a stable fixed point in space for developers to work with. it tends to be games generally using the new and improved stuff while the older drivers are more stable controlled environments. so you may in fact just need to install some what lower version graphics drivers.

you should also look at the adobe specs for what drivers are certified, and run with them because they will work. as you have found, newer make not work
