They're the drivers I have installed, Octane doesn't work with them.
I guess we have to wait for Nvidia, have you contacted them ?
This could be a real problem for GPU rendering.

Hi,

The problem here is only for a small handfull of people.
we've hundreds of other customers who are running beta2 on a variety of versions of windows and other os'es without any issues.

i think the issue here is unpropper uninstallation/reinstallation or some registry settings that are messed up.

some people have reported the same issue but fixed it by cleaning up all drivers with sweeper tools, then reinstalling them.

Hi Radiance,
I have used the sweeper tool.
Once my machine stops rendering I'll have another go.
