Hi!
Previously my Gigabyte GTX460 was recocognized as GeForce GTX 460 (1023MB) , which is true.
Suddendly it is now recognized as GeForce GTX 460 (961MB) and this is wrong.
How comes ? I don't believe this may be drivers upgrade consequence because Win 7 is still ok about that.

It is the driver; Windows 7 has allocated itself some of your GPU RAM, thanks to the driver. Although only 961MB is now available to Boinc projects, this in itself is not a problem; the task sizes are less than this.
What driver did you have before this one?
