Here are my specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
Driver Version: 3.40.29
OS: Linux Mint 17 (64-bit)
I used to be able to use my GTX 580 for Cycles rendering, but now there’s this:
This occurs in all versions of Blender I’ve tested, so the regression must be on my end, but I can’t figure out what it is. There are no other issues with my GPU; drivers are up to date (NVIDIA-340), the viewport is smooth, and all my games run just fine. I’m not even sure when it started; it’s possible that I’ve been using non-CUDA Cycles for a while without realizing it.
What could be causing this? Please let me know if there’s any other info I can provide. Thanks!
EDIT [SOLVED]: I solved this issue by installing the package nvidia-340-uvm. Apparently that package was needed but not installed automatically. So, if any other pilgrims run into my issue, just update your drivers and make sure you install the nvidia-XXX-uvm package as well.
