There is an easier way to check for the drivers:

Hi there.
I have installed the cinema4d R20 Octane demo yesterday. I opened an interior scene and try to see the interactivity in the floating render window. Unfortunately it stays black although it renders fine in the final c4d renderview.
As recommanded, I downgraded to previous nvidia 417 driver.
I run a PC with 2 gtx 1070ti cards, with a new z_307 asus motherboard and 32gb ram. With windows 10.
Hardware should be no issue.
The scene is not crazy with polys or lights.
Calculation seems to be running, cards are busy at 40%. But it stays black.
A quck rendre takes 30 secs on the other hand.
Thank you for the support, as I search for a nice gpu engine.
Martin.

Hi,
Please, after black screen, go to c4d menu Script/Console, (Shift+F10), and share a complete screenshot of the panel, thanks.

This is probably a dumb question... but CUDA drivers? On a Mac? I'm confused here. I'm trying to install Octane X C4D demo but says it's CUDA, but I'm on a Mac so I have AMD GPU... do you need to have a NVidia eGPU or something? The standalone version works alright, as far as standalone goes. C4D plugin tho, no dice.

Hi duane5967,
which version of MacOs are you using?
Which GPUs are installed in your Mac?
