Unable to initialise CUDA

I keep getting this message every time I start the application (Windows 10). I have installed the base CUDA and patch 4 and I can run the nbody demo. I’ve tried running as a normal and an admin user but I’m not getting anywhere.
Please help!
Thanks

And if I try to render something anyway the ‘Artwork is created…’ dialog hangs forever even though the purple bar is still moving.

Debug log looks like this:

Any help appreciated, considering that I’ve paid for this and broke a promise to myself never to install Java in any PC I own ever again in order to run it.

Did you also try out the CPU version?

No, I will try it. But the CUDA version should be supported by my hardware.

The GPU instructions for CUDA are wrong

From your debug log you’re mussing one thing called cuDNN

You can get it from here - https://news.developer.nvidia.com/cudnn-7-5-now-available/

There’s a download link near the bottom, it’ll want you to register (I just logged in with my Social Account - GMail?)

Accept the terms and you’ll get list of options - the one you want is the version for CUDA 9.0 (bottom one)

Download it and extract it then MANUALLY copy the file in \bin to …
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0\bin

Do this for the include and lib directories as well and the files in those putting them in the toolkit’s include + lib directories like you did with the bin one

Fire up the GPU version and everything (hopefully) works

In my case first go fell over. I rebooted and tried again and it worked using the GPU.

I’ve got a short (360x360 x 1024 frames) video file I use to test that takes 24 mins to process on my 5 year old laptop

The GPU is also five years old (a 845M) and even with such dated kit my test video took 8 mins to process so 3x the speed

More modern CPU + GPU should be much faster than my kit

It’s only taken me three months to work this out and that was only 'cos I was trying to work out another GPU issue - an entire 3 months sub without GPU cos they say don’t install cuDNN for Win10! Not amused

Thank you! Sorry about your pain but thanks for helping me out. That solved the problem.
(CPU version worked too)

We updated the guide accordingly to your suggestion.

That method is only guaranteed to work for @pdduggan as I based the answer on his debug.log

There is a more generalised version I have to test properly
