Was just wondering if the GTX 260 is no longer supported? I was going to do a quicky test on it because my 560 is in use, and I noticed that it is not selectable in the preferences.

The 260 should work for version 1.0 but not 1.01 or 1.02.
The features added have caused problems compiling for older cards and as such they are not usable at this stage for 1.01 or 1.02
It would actually be really good for us to hear feedback about this on the forums.
Is permanently loosing support for cards with compute capability 1.x a very troubling thing?
We have some idea as to how many users use older cards (like 8000 series, 9000 series, 200 series, but these cards are starting to age, cheap modern cards can keep up easily and supporting all new features on these cards moving forwards is not necessarily feasible.
There is a list of compute capabilities for cards here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
It would be great to hear feedback on this!
Thanks
Chris.

For me it's not that big of a deal. The 260 was my original card in the case and it just sits there handling Windows activity. I just thought I'd run a quick test on it without disturbing my 560 which is rendering a job right now. The 260 has too little memory to make it very useful for me, although I did use it in the beginning for my first tests.

I have a GT 240 (which I believe has Compute 1.2). I would love to be able to use the most recent release of Octane with the GT 240.FooZe wrote:It would actually be really good for us to hear feedback about this on the forums.

I have got a GTX 260 as display card, but I render on my two external GTX 580 in my Cubix box. So, it could be a problem only if I had a failure of the Cubix and no other choice than using my GTX 260, as my PSU can't feed a GTX 580 on the mother board.
