Can't use denoising filter.

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

I recently heard about the new denoising option in the last experimental blender version release so i went straight ahead and downloaded it. The first time i tried to use it, blender gave me an error and said that there wasn’t enough Cuda memory or something. Since my GTX 570 only has 1280mb of memory it made sense to me… I was just wondering if there is anything i could do to still be using the denoising filter with this graphics card…

By the way, this is my first post here so I wasn’t sure where to post this. If this isn’t the correct place please tell me where is. Thanks

Only thing I can suggest is smaller tiles. I was running out of memory on my 4GB cards at 512x512 but was able to denoise at 256x256. It needs memory for the denoising on top of what is being used by the scene.

Hi.
This is an old thread. Nvidia 5xx series is not even supported in current experimental/non stable builds.
For 2.79b, here are some things explained (like when the GPU runs out of memory):
