Did nvidia driver 396.24 for Linux break GPU based BOINC projects? Collatx, PrimeGrid, and GPUgrid all have computation errors.

Yes, I think I had the same experience as you, labrat42. I also tried 396 but then downgraded to 390. I didn't research it though, so wondered why I couldn't reinstall 396 again, from the repo I use.

Maybe 396 has been pulled or deactivated from the repo, since they have defects. Not sure though. (I was on Mint 18.3 which I upgraded to 19 a week or so ago, I think the problems began then). The one I use is from the launchpad.net repo. But now things work well
