Installing Octane Demo

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 :D

hi =)

as far as I remember iMac do not have nvidia GPU, just AMD. Please correct me if I'm wrong & double check what GPU You have inside Your mac.

For OctaneRender now You need nvidia card, but after some time You will be able to use AMD GPUs & even CPUs (but those would be not that fast =)

Hi
In reply to your question "Does it mean it works with GPU?" currently you need a Nvidia GPU to run Octane.
Here is a link to the website FAQ's page which has some additional information https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/faqs/ (Take a look at "What are the hardware requirements for Octane Render".
Kind regards, Win
