Hi there,

I am new to Octane renderer and was wondering what drivers you needed to download for the windows version, I know there is a link to the nvidia at the bottom of the page but there seems to be nearly ten links to different things to download for windows, which ones do I need to install.

Thanks

Alex

You will need the latest version of drivers for your video card. You will also need cuda 3.0 toolkit <http://www.nvidia.com/object/thankyou.html?url=/compute/cuda/3_0/toolkit/cudatoolkit_3.0_win_32.exe>. That should be it.

All systems are at stock speeds and settings.

Hi,

the toolkit is not needed on windows, just the latest drivers from the nvidia homepage.

the toolkit is only required on mac and linux.
