Old but not rusty

I started to utilize my GTX970 as parallel processing device. A strategy to support such old device is to downgrade operation system to a version that CUDA 5.5 toolkit supports. I still have no good progress with Ubuntu 12.0.4 but already built toolkit as well on Windows 10 especially via Visual Studio 2012 that available in visual studio web site. Thank you again for support historical versions of Visual Studio and business products, it often required for old devices maintenance.
