There are reports - including on one of my machines - that BOINC GPU and OpenCL detection fails if the Windows NVidia driver released yesterday is installed without the computer being rebooted.

All seems normal after rebooting.

At POEM it's still causing a massive performance drop, ~25% for my GT640, like 331.58 and 331.65 before it. For the previous versions problems have also been reported from other projects, including OpenCL and CUDA and Fermi and Kepler.

Is Einstein affected as well?
