Nvidia GTX 9XX not recognized in Blender (2.73) #42887

Closed
opened 2014-12-13 15:40:08 +01:00 by Emily Smirle · 23 comments

System Information
Windows 7 Home Premium
GeForce GTX 970 driver version 344.75

Blender Version
Broken: 2.72B 9e963ae
Also tested and broken on: several builds of 2.70 now deleted sorry,
also broken on 2.69.0 r60995

I had old ATI videocards before, so never bothered with CUDA acceleration. I bought the GTX 970 and wanted to check it out. I open the Blender User Preferences, go to the System group, look at Compute Device, and the only button I have is "None" and the drop-down lists only "CPU".

I don't have another videocard with CUDA to test against. This is scene independent.

Hi, 2.72b and older are not support the GTX 980/70.
You could download a daily build from https://builder.blender.org/download/
or wait for 2.73.

Cheers, mib

I am not accustomed to being ahead of the curve!

Build 2.72 83cbcef (2014-12-08 23:32) is not support either, but that's OK. I did not have for so long, I can very much wait until it is added.

Could you please try with a 2.73 testbuild?

Could you please try with a [2.73 testbuild](http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.73/)?

Ups, sorry, does not look at the hash.
The Compute Capability 5.2 cards are supported for several weeks now.

@Blendify, would prefer to have this at "Normal" as it already is being investigated.

Here - It's not the best description, but I think it's fine.
Anyway, let's not turn this into a forum! Back to topic... ;)

Mhh, just to make sure we're not wasting our time: @syndaryl, could you check again with latest build from here . This sounds a bit weird to me, so lets just double check :)
