Ok, well you don't seem to understand my constrain here: Never check 
more than one size!

Find the first valid size which is good for you and then try to resize 
to that one, if this doesn't work abort.

The intention here is not to make the code faster, but to prevent issues 
on system where we probe multiple GPUs at once.
