In the devices tab in the Setup window, enable (tick) your video card.

Hi - sorry for the problems you are having. I haven't seen this issue before.

Could you pls post the same screenshot from Octane Standalone?
And what release number of Octane Standalone demo and Modo plugin demo are you trying pls?

Thanks

Hi - can you post a screenshot of Octane Standalone File->Preferences->Cuda Devices.

Also, it is worth trying deleting you Modo801.cfg file, and seeing if that makes your graphics card available in the Modo plugin.

Hi,

I found the problem, mARCH kit cause the issue. Unnistaling mARCH and octane render work fine.

But i will be happy if mARCH ant Octane work together.

I installed mARCH, and the Octane plugin worked fine for me. So either the demo version has an issue, or there might have been something in your Modo801.CFG file which caused the issue. I suspect if you delete Modo801.CFG, and re-activate mARCH, all will be OK. Regardless, the latest commercial version of the Octane plugin works fine with mARCH installed.
