Hi,

The GF108 variant (Fermi) is not supported by the latest versions of
pmemd.cuda; see http://ambermd.org/GPUHardware.php for a list of
supported hardware.

Basically, NVIDIA has changed around their GPU architectures so much
over the years that the code required massive updates to properly
utilize the latest hardware.
