CUDA Help!

Hi, I'm getting this Error

But I have a CUDA Device!

I have a

and I'm sure it is CUDA enabled! I tried going into the Octane settings of Cinema 4D and checked my card in the "Devices" menu, but once I exit out of the settings, it doesn't save.

Please help.
I am running Vista Service pack 2.

Yes, you have cuda card. But it can be very old to compensate the requirements of Octane. Do you have a nvidia driver which is newer than 344.xx?

Hi, the GF 9300 is way to old for Octane.
You need a card with at least Compute Capability 2.0, listed here:

You need a card with 3-4 GB minimum from the GTX series.
May you can get a GTX 670 4 GB or 780 with 3 or 6 GB used.
I use the GTX 760 4 GB and it is slow but useable.

Cheers, mib
