    Cuda

    Hello,

    I've done everything I can to try and force Zephyr to use my GPU. I've installed the latest drivers for my card and configured the card specifically for Zephyr to run with the card's processor. Still, Zephyr will not recognize it. Below are the specs for my card. Any suggestions?

    Hi 55thSwiss,

    does zephyr shows on startup a popup? If so, can you please past or screenshot what the message says?

    If not, simply make sure the card is actually enabled in the Tools -> Options -> Cuda tab.




    Hope this helps!

      The first time I started Zephyr I did get a pop up notifying me it did not see and Cuda cores. Since then, the only pop up on starting is a facebook like thing or to purchase pro (running free version obviusly). Attached is the screen shot of my options menu, it's not even recognizing the card?

        It's odd that it's not recognizing it if you're using the latest available drivers.

        Please double check that CUDA is installed on your system. It should have come with the latest drivers but if for some reason it's not installed on your system, you can install it as a standalone package with the toolkit.



        (you don't need sources and samples, so you can stick with a basic installation).

        Hope this helps

          Ok, thanks Andrea. I downloaded the network installer for windows 7, 64 bit but I'm getting a lot of bugs on the step for building the nbody for Visual Studio. I'm guessing it's because I have VS 2017 Community edition? The versions of VS it lists as compatible does not explicitly say Community edition?

            I haven't installed the network package in a while, i usually download the full ~1.3GB package instead since i usually deploy it on more than one machine. It should install fine though. Maybe try the non-network as well?

            Is it by chance a virtual machine?

              No, not a virtual machine. Let me try to full install though like you said. No idea about is VS 2017 Community is supported though?

                it shouldn't be an issue, as you don't need the development stuff it brings with it
