Maybe it is important to check the nvidia toolkit page:

citation:

Table 1. Supported Windows Compilers (32-bit and 64-bit)
Compiler          IDE
Visual C++ 10.0   Visual Studio 2010
Visual C++ 9.0    Visual Studio 2008

see: http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html

Maybe that is good to know ?

cheers,
Gaia
