The “debug information: yes” and the slow performance indicates you’re running this in debug mode. Does the same also happen in release mode? (Same question with the optixHair example in your other post.)

Do you start this from within the Visual Studio debugger or on the command line?

What is your exact system configuration? Your filenames indicate Windows OS with an sm_120 GPU on 591.74, but what version and GPU?

Also that driver version supports the newer OptiX 9.x SDK versions. Could you try that as well? (You can install all OptiX SDK versions side-by-side.)

Release mode worked fine for Optix 8.0.0.
Both Debug and Release work fine with Optix 9.1.0.

OK, I wonder if that was a PTX vs. OptiX-IR compiler issue in debug mode.

The OptiX cache filienames in your initial post started with “ptx”. It would be interesting to check if the examples actually translated the device code to PTX or OptiX-IR in either case.

PTX doesn’t retain the same debug information as OptiX-IR, so latter is the recommended target for everything.

In any case, this might also be related to the CUDA Toolkit version you used, so that is another system configuration information required to analyze this when necessary.
