  • 3ds Max can not find my CUDA enabled device

    On some machines the 3DS Max application is not able to recognize the GPU devices installed and this may affect V-Ray RT GPU as well.
    We have implemented a workaround for this particular case, which is to turn off the In-Process option from the RT settings panel. This way V-Ray RT will start as a separate process.

    Usually the error message printed in the log is:
    *) Cannot initialize CUDA! No CUDA devices are available!
    *) PTX loading failed!
    and sometimes the installed graphic card/s is even not listed in the Render device select window under RT/CUDA Render setup window.

    Since this is not a problem related to V-Ray, currently we don't have any clue why this happens, so the best we could do is to provide this workaround.

    I just installed a GTX 1080 (Zotac AMp Extreme) as a single GPU. I don't see it even when I uncheck the in process box...

      Do you see it in the ocldeviceselect tool: Start Menu > programs > Chaos Group > V-Ray RT for 3ds Max > Select OpenCL devices for V-Ray RT GPU? (It works for CUDA too, even though it says OpenCL).

      Best regards,
