WinXP & 2GPUs & Slow Streams

Hi all,

I’m running WinXP64 with the latest CUDA driver. I have one Geforce 285GTX and one 8500GT, which is driving the Windows display. In this configuration streams are terribly slow on the 285GTX(see output of simpleStreams below). If I switch the 285GTX to be the display driving card stream performance is quite alright.

Can anybody explain this correlation? Is it a bug?
