  • First, an NVIDIA Tesla K80 is a Kepler based GPU. That GPU architecture is not supported by OptiX since version 6.0.0. Means your system setup is limited to OptiX 5.1 and older versions.
  • Versions 6.0.0 and before would not have this issue with driver components because the OptiX core implementation is not residing inside the display drivers. See posts above.
  • If you had a Maxwell or newer GPU, OptiX 6.5.0 or newer is not supported by 418 drivers. Please always refer to the OptiX release notes directly under the resp. OptiX download button on developer.nvidia.com.
  • (A similar issue under Windows 10 based OSes with all GPUs in the TCC driver mode where not all required driver components could be found with OptiX 6.5.0 and higher has been fixed inside the 450 driver releases. See versions in the OptiX 7.1.0 Release Notes.)
