Re: [AMBER] Wrong results in GTX TITAN, correct results on GTX580

I can't remember right now if I got this error (as there was such a
variety) with my TITAN, but I do know I'm having this exact same problem
too with my geforce 780. I will be posting the detailed troubleshooting
later as I am a bit pressed for time.

I never got any memtest errors with my TITANS either, so it is a
combination of hardware and the CUDA code IMO, though others will be better
be able to define this better than me.

have a look at the beginning of this (insanely long) thread:

The TITAN GPUs are officially kaput and we are all waiting for a patch,
which I guess will be relevant for the 780s too. I guess your options are
to RMA or wait for the patch.
