Installing Octane Demo

[borbloom]

Hi there

Sorry in advance if this topic has been previously resolved, but I found nothing about it and thought this would be the right place to ask.

I have downloaded the Demo version of Octane and try to make it work on Cinema 4d but nothing happened. A message (There is no CUDA device witch is supported...) pops up every time I tried to do something. I have installed drivers from NVIDIA web site several times but it seems my computer is the real problem.

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5 inches, end of 2015)

Does anyone know what could it be happening?

Thanks in advance

Octane is a GPU renderer and built over Cuda api. So you need a compatible Nvidia gpu because Cuda is standard of Nvidia.

Does it mean I'm GPU and I am fine to work with octane?

From the specs, no, your iMac can't work with Octane as it does not have an Nvidia gpu. It only has the onboard Intel one, which doesn't support CUDA.

Most new iMacs today are only available with onboard + AMD gpus which support OpenCL and not CUDA.
