Hello!
I seem to get into trouble after installing new CUDA drivers to get my 1070 card to work with Octane.
I have the newest version of both octane and lw plug installed.
It will still not render and my displayport screen seems to black out.
Can someone tell me step by step what I need to do to get this stuff working?
Running a GTX670 + GTX1070.

You don't install any special CUDA drivers, you install normal display/gaming drivers available on nvidia site. All the CUDA you need is inside it.

Yes, the NVIDIA drivers for windows are enough, you don't need to install anything else. Do you have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed in your system?

Yes, I installed the latest drivers.
I can run it fine with my gtx670, but when i try with my new GPU it stops when trying to update GPU in octane.

You are not using the latest plugin build available. The one that you are using is not compatible with the new Pascal GPUs.

Please, download the latest build (3.03.3.0) that you can find in the forum top announcements topic:
