Nvidia gtx 970

Blender Version
Broken: 2.78 b 3c04373

Short description of error

Hello,
i am rendering the exact same scene on 2 different PCs, both in GPU mode, both with the exact same version of blender, 1 is Nvidia gtx 970 and the other is Nvidia gtx 950m, both with 4GB of memory. My problem is that the gtx 970 keeps crashing in the middle of the render, but the 950m renders just fine... this is the error i get:

CUDA error: Out of Memory in cuMemAlloc(&device_pointer, size)

I know this is just an out of memory problem, but i don't understand why the GTX 950M can handle the scene and the GTX 970 can't, isn't the GTX 970 supposed to be more powerful than the 950M?? both have 4GB of memory.

Could it be a drivers problem? i have already downgrade both drivers before duo to another problem i had.

gtx 970 Driver verson: 376.33
gtx 950m Driver verson: 378.66

PLEASE HELP!! i don't wanna waste my main PC by not even rendering on it.

Have you tried 2.78c and see if this problem still exist? You can download the zip version if you doesn't want to install.

Please indeed try 2.78c or even the latest build:
https://builder.blender.org/download/

It sounds like a driver issue though, I suggest to try the latest NVidia driver or at least update the GTX 970 to the same version as the GTX 950M that works.
