Could you share what they said in regards, I have the same situation as you.
Best regards.

Hi Beppe / anyone on staff who may be able to help.

I'd describe myself as a lazy hobbyist and have not used Octane for a good while now. I've recently updated my graphics card and tried testing out Octane and it doesn't detect the Cuda cores, I just get a No Cuda GPUs warning under the render window.

I think this is because I'm running an old version of Octane standalone (3.07) vs my newer graphics card / drivers. It has 3x the no. of cuda cores as my old card so I'm sure it's just a question of software and drivers.

I saw the option on the first post to upgrade to v4? I realise there are newer versions than this but as far as I'm aware they require additional payment which I cannot afford at the moment. The problem is when I follow the instructions in the post, the option to 'upgrade' in the top menu seems to have been removed.

Is it still possible to upgrade from v3 to v4 for free and if so are there any updated instructions?

Thank you

Hi cameo,
yes, upgrade from v3 to v4 is still free, please try at the following link:

If you are still having issues with the upgrade, please write to [email protected], thanks.

Hi Beppe,

Thanks a lot for the link, it worked great and v4 has no problem seeing my new card and cuda cores

Is there an archive of documentation for older versions anywhere? I noticed that the documentation at https://docs.otoy.com/ is for the 2019 version of standalone, I tried a search of the forum but couldn't see any obvious links?

If not I'll just use the current docs and ignore anything which appears new, just thought it was worth asking the question.
