Hi Guys,
I am trying to enabled CUDA on this Mobile GPU that since few days has moved in the legacy section of Nvidia-Driver. My goal is to enable CUDA in order to get some rendering acceleration in Blender.
From this links is written is compatible: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-legacy-gpus
So this are my installed package:
Code: Select all
i A glx-alternative-nvidia - allows the selection of NVIDIA as GLX provider

i A libnvidia-legacy-340xx-eglcore - NVIDIA binary EGL core libraries (340xx legacy version)
i A libnvidia-legacy-340xx-ml1 - NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) runtime library
i nvidia-detect - NVIDIA GPU detection utility
i A nvidia-installer-cleanup - cleanup after driver installation with the nvidia-installer
i A nvidia-kernel-common - NVIDIA binary kernel module support files
