Octane can't find a CUDA device

So I've just recently downloaded the Octane demo, and on trying to use the live viewer I keep getting the error 'There is no CUDA device which is selected...'. My computer is currently running with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560Ti, old I know, but functions well. Upon researching this graphics card, NVIDIA says that it is CUDA enabled so I'm still quite confused as to why Octane cannot find or use the drive. I've selected it in the settings and still nothing has changed. Any help would be much appreciated as I am a complete newcomer to Octane.

Hi,
unfortunately Fermi 4XX and 5XX GPUs have been dropped by Nvidia with CUDA 9.1, so you can only use Octane 3.07 , or previous versions, with that GPU.

You neen a GPU with compute model 3.0 or higher to be able to work with latest versions of OctaneRender.
