Cannot activate GPU (gtx 1070)

[samanthalee]

Hi,
I have just moved my license to a new pc with windows 10 but haven't been able to get octane working.
When I hit render I just get a black screen, when I use octane live viewport I just get black screen and 'scene evaluating'.
I looked the devices section and noticed that the 2x 1070s are not ticked, when I tick the boxes and hit apply nothing happens.
I know there were issues with gtx 1070 early on and maybe it was not fully supported but I diddn't expect them to not work at all!
Please help, I have an urgent deadline and the only reason I bought octane and a new pc was to meet this dealine.
Thanks

Hi samanthalee,
What is version of Octane you work with and what are the specs of your hardware?
(You can add it in your signature.. it is easier for people to help you)

Edited: OctaneRender supports Pascal GPUs, like your 1070, from v3.03.2
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply, good point. Ill update details when I have a permanent setup.
Current setup is i7 6700k 2x msi gtx 1070 windows 10. Running on max 2015.
I installed latest nvidia drivers and uninstalled and reinstalled octane standalone and plug in but no luck.

And which OctaneRender version?
And which Nvidia driver?
And problem in standalone as well in plugin?

[samanthalee]

The latest versions, downloaded today. 3.something or other... 3dsmax 2015
I have not tried with the standalone yet as I gave never used it but I'll try to run the benchmark tool when I get into the studio.
Thanks again

Someone on another post said they installed CUDA 8 and updated drivers and it worked, installing CUDA sdk sounds a bit ott

Great

Sdk is not necessary.
you should install Octane 3.03.4>
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... _4_win.exe
Octane 3dsMax plugin 4:20>
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... -_4.20.exe

The latest drivers available>

you could check if cuda enabled, using GPU-z>

Gtx1070 should work properly no incompatibility is detected.
let me know your news.

Thanks!
I think I only have plugin version 2.... - 3...., the 3-4 option wasn't available so it sounds like that may be the issue.
I'll try it as soon as I get into the studio.

I just installed version 3.03.4 - 4.20 but now I cannot license the product! When go to the downloads section I only see version 3.02 - 3.17.
What is going on here?!?
I'm going to have to use F-storm or something else if I can't find a fix for this soon!
Thanks again for your help Paride, it feels like this is the solution if I could only license the damn thing!
