Which operating system are you working on and which driver version have you installed?

Sorry, didn't read properly... The demo version doesn't work with Kepler (GTX 6xx) cards due to some issues with the CUDA toolkit 4.2. We are working on it. Please check back in a couple of weeks and check if we have a new version available that works with Kepler cards.

Cheers,
Marcus

There is a Kepler build for licensed users who would like to test or use it. The kepler build renders to the same quality but it is considerably slower than the fermi builds. It is a test release and is not to be taken as a standard commercial release. So as of this time, Octane still works best with the fermi generation cards but it will eventually be optimized for the kepler cards.

No unfortunately not at the moment, since CUDA 4.2 (required for Kepler cards, i.e. GTX 6xx) introduced some serious issues. But we are looking at it right now.
