[CLOSED] cuInit failed (999)

[admin]

Please run this in a CMD window (with admin privileges) and report the output.

This is the nVidia deviceQueryDrv sample code compiled for 64 bit against CUDA toolkit 8.0.

Darn, not much help, I'm afraid:

petoluk.exe Starting...

CUDA Device Query (Driver API) statically linked version
cuInit(0) returned 999
-> CUDA_ERROR_UNKNOWN
Result = FAIL

(Run as admin.)



EDIT: So I guess it's not a problem with DGDecNV as such... But how come the 32 bit version still works...

[admin]

Thank you for the testing. It's helpful because it exonerates my tools.

Next step is that I will post a query about it at the nVidia developer forum.

Any chance you could update to Windows 10?

And, oh, is that a laptop? Because if so we have Optimus issues. This is why I do not formally support laptops for DGDecNV.

[petoluk]

Not sure about upgrading to Win 10, but this is indeed a laptop, HP ZBook G2.

I've never heard about the Optimus issue (will investigate later), but given that now I can at least use the 32 bit version (stupid of me for not trying it sooner ), I wouldn't want you to lose any more time on this.

In any case, thank you very much for your willingness to help!!

Thanks for the link gonca!

petoluk, I'll keep monitoring the nVidia forum but in my experience such issues don't get much attention (i.e., relatively obscure GPUs on laptops). At least you are running on win32.

I don't formally support laptops so closing this thread.
