Hello.

I'm trying to make cudaminer 2013.12.18 (or any of them) work on my test machine: Asus 1215N ion which supports cuda. Win7x64SP1

I installed Visual Studio 2008 + C++ redistributables + cuda toolkit+sdk 3.2 & drivers which were included.

When I run cudaminer I get:
Code:
c:\cudaminer\x64>cudaminer
           *** CudaMiner for nVidia GPUs by Christian Buchner ***
                     This is version 2013-12-18 (beta)
        based on pooler-cpuminer 2.3.2 (c) 2010 Jeff Garzik, 2012 pooler

[2013-12-23 09:56:27] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?

But if I run devicequery & bandwidthTestI successfully get:

Also all Cuda C samples from NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser work correctly!

I tried all versions from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0

So how can I make cudaminer to recognize cuda?!

BTW I cannot run devicequery or bandwidthTest from anywhere, only from C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2\C\bin\win64\Release (or NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser app). Is it normal or maybe some path should be set manually?

I tried to configure it manually like here: http://coitweb.uncc.edu/~abw/SIGCSE2011Workshop/ConfiguringVSforCUDA.pdf but it's still the same Sad

Help!


Best regards,
Val

Hi Vainkop, your CUDA version seems outdated anyways you should use the "services" section.

Hi Vainkop, your CUDA version seems outdated anyways you should use the "services" section.

I also tried the latest cuda toolkit 5.5 & it's still the same.

Can you tell me a little bit more about "services section" I should use to make cudaminer work?

Thanks!
