[Pw_forum] QE-GPU with Nvidia K80 failed

[Rolly Ng]

Hello Filippo,

Just like to confirm which version of driver should I installed for K80 
with CUDA 6.5?

With C2050, I have 340.65 and it works.

Not sure about K80? Thank you!

Regards,
Rolly

From an optimization perspective, I can guarantee there is nothing in the code that leverage K80 better than any other NVIDIA GPU Kepler architecture.
