Hi there,
I just saw that NVidia has released the Cuda 5.5 RC for registered Cuda devs.
It supports VS 2012 now...
So I can begin testing with cuda binaries compiled with VS2012 without having
to cheat ;)

Hi,
I tested the 5.5 Toolkit already, and unfortunately it still gives a big
slowdown for Cycles rendering. So updating to 5.5 is not a solution for
our official releases. :(

Hmm, unfortunately it's the only clean solution for vs 2012 :(
The other solution is to trick nvcc by either using the vc9 platform toolkit to
compile cycles cuda kernel or to manually edit some files to force compilation
with vs 2012.
Both gave me random crashes I could not reproduce with 100% r
I just had a look on the nvcc compiler options we use to compile cuda binaries.
First of all we still use --opencc-options that are ignored by nvcc 5.0 and 5.5
when compiling for sm_20 and up.
Maybe we should see if there are nvcc optimization options we can use to regain
speed when using Cuda 5.
