CUDA for Quadro FX 5500? There is no device supporting CUDA

Hi,

I have a problem installing CUDA.

I installed the CUDA Toolkit, Drivers (185.85) and SDK v2.2 for Windows XP Pro 64-bit (SP2).

When I run deviceQuery.exe I get:

CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

There is no device supporting CUDA.

Why no support for CUDA? Is it the card or something else wrong?

nvcuda.dll is properly installed in my system32 folder.

On this webpage:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_learn_products.html

The Quadro FX 5500 is not listed. However, both the 4800 and 5600 are listed, which seems odd they would skip it.

Can someone verify for me whether or not this card is officially supported?

NVIDIA’s model numbering conventions are somewhat inexplicable and frustrating. Model numbers are not chronological. According to Wikipedia, the Quadro FX 5500 uses a GPU from GeForce 7 series, before NVIDIA redesigned their GPUs for CUDA. Both the 4800 and 5600 came out later.

Thanks for the reply!

I guess I’m outta luck then.
