CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version

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
Solution

  • 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. http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_3_1_downloads.html#MacOS
