Hey Marius -

That makes me wonder if I'll be able to put a new 1080 Pascal in with my 980 TI Maxwell cards. This could be a big bummer!

Hello,

Sorry for the mistake, it was Fermi architecture for Quadro (and your GTX570) and the problem was with the drivers from Nvidia. They ware only able to support only one type of architecture at a time. Just because Fermi was older. I tried to search again for that article but i did not found it.

It may not be the case for Pascal and Kepler or Pascal and Maxwell.
We'll see ...

At this moment i have Win 10 x64 and i am working with a GTX 750 TI (Maxwell) and a GTX 780 (Kepler). Both are running perfectly. I use the small card for display and rarely for renderings.

BR
Marius.

Hi!

Do you have some OFFICIAL info (nvidia/Microsoft??) about that win10 not supporting Various GPU Architectures ? Can you send us link to that news.

That would be VERY serious problem for many users.

Thanks

Hello,

I using a GTX560ti with a GTX780ti and a GTX970 (display) with octane for a few months now (780ti added later).
OS is Windows 10.
Mobo MSI Z97 sli plus, with a 4790K cpu.

The only problem I have is the memory limit of the 560TI, which has 1.5GB.

Everything else works perfect, Octane Bench gives a result of 220.

And is the problem of Windows 10 'eating' part of RAM still there, also on the Pascal GPU's?

See the issue below quoted and postlink:
"Anyone tried the Win10 update and checked if that fixed the memory problem?"

Yes problem is still there sadly. It's very bad, 12GB GPUs "loose" about 2.2GB, 8GB GPU looses about 1.3GB and 6GB missing 1 GB VRAM on win10.

I don't know why is OTOY not telling us anything what are they doing to solve that issue :(.

I'm keeping my older machines at win7/8 but it can't be lasting long 'coz support/patches/fixes for those old windows will end sooner than later and DirectX 12 is win10+ only so even now more people have win10 than win 8/8.1 togetherl.
