Please stop spamming the forum with the same request. They already explained to you why those cards cannot be supported anymore.
Get over it.

Cuda - Here is my take - that I am pasting from another thread from a dude that wishes he could use his old, obsolete and woefully under-powered Quadro:
Curro, when you can get a used 580 3GB for between $150 and $200 on eBay etc - that would bludgeon your old dinosaur and make it beg for mercy - why not jump at the opportunity to take things up a couple notches on the cheap? Why are you so hell-bent on making your puny 192 cores work in Octane? Why not get 512 cores for one hundred and fifty bones?.. Or 1024 for $300?......
FYI: 1 Fermi Core = 3 Kepler Cores -- so GTX 580's 512 = 1536 Kepler. In case anyone reading was not aware. In other words, 400 and 500 series cores should be tripled when comparing to 600 and 700 series.
I guess it is unfortunate if your Quadro was ridiculously expensive, back in the stone age when you got it. It seems there was no GPU rendering back then and it was not likely built for GPU rendering. But it has served its purpose and now it is time to send it off to a nice nursing home (media server etc), where it can spend its remaining days in dignity. Slap a cheap 580 in that bad-boy and you will be amazed/thrilled.
I'm assuming you are in business. This is just good business. Time is money bro. 192 cores will take eons to render the good shit. And keep in mind that your competitors (probably some of us here) have not hundreds, but rather, thousands of cores under the hood...

My titan told me to tell you: no.
i7-4770K, 32gb ram, windows 8.1, GTX Titan and gt 620 for display
yeah, but some of us use one of those high end workstations laptops to go to clients ALL the time (meaning I have 1 office day per month where I could use that huge clanky powerful desktop) and therefore want to use the built in Cuda capable high end Quadro graphics card that ran Octane 4 years ago. (I mean the predecessor of this card I have here in the previous less powerful laptop)FrankPooleFloating wrote:Cuda - Here is my take - that I am pasting from another thread from a dude that wishes he could use his old, obsolete and woefully under-powered Quadro:

so why is the thread starter complaining? I have no clue what seems to be the problem - here Octane runs on my laptop with v2 on a quadro.

Hi...
my quadro totally works... slower than my 780 ti, thats why i use it normally for display only
but works.
get a k6000 and you get the titan rendering performance...
