I am using a EVGA GTS250 with the current NIVDIA software, that I am very satisfied with and have been running SETI for many years.
If I can run CUDA GPU WUs for SETI, why does MilkyWay state that I do not have the needed features? Are there any plans that will correct this?

MW needs to use double-precision math, I think the lowest nVidia that will work here is the 260 class.

Because your card lacks a needed feature (double precision).

Are there any plans that will correct this?

I don't know if you have any plans to buy a new and more capable card.
