Sony Vaio FZ Series with GeForce 8400M Why my device is not found?

I’m running on Windows Vista 32-bit, and on my DirectX Diagnostic test it says that my GPU is GeForce 8400M GT ([url=“NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Laptops”]http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8400M.html[/url]). It says that it’s one of the device that is CUDA-enabled product ([url=“CUDA GPUs - Compute Capability | NVIDIA Developer”]http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_learn_products.html[/url]). I installed everything, and I tried to run the sample.cu from the CUDA wizard on Visual Studio C++ Express 2005 ([url=“http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=80572”]http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=80572[/url]). I copied the cutil32D.dll, and I run it in the Debug mode. Here’s what I got:

There is no device.
Press any key to continue . . .

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

May be a problem with the driver.

Ensure that you have followed all the steps given below

1 → [url=“CUDA Toolkit 11.7 Update 1 Downloads | NVIDIA Developer”]http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html[/url]
2 → download latest driver for your OS.
3 → download toolkit for you OS.
4 → download SDK for you OS.
5 → Install Driver
6 → Install toolkit
7 → Install SDK.

Now go to SDK folder → browse to “bin\win32\Release”

Run the following → deviceQuery.exe

Check the output, it should be “There is 1 device supporting CUDA”

There’s no device supporting CUDA

Test PASSED

Press ENTER to exit…

did you install a newer driver?

You may copy paste the driver details from the nVidia control panel here.
Such as the forceware driver version.

Got it! Thanks!
