Cycles gpu render error

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

Well, let’s just put it this way. Whenever I’m using cycles, and I switch the render type to gpu and hit rendered, it says as follows
|Error|Cuda device supported only with shader model 1.3 or up, found 1.2.

Any input as to what this is and how I can fix it (hopefully without buying a new gpu).

Hi, that’s because official release of Blender will only support shader model from 1.3 and above and your graphic card only supports 1.2.

I had the same problem and to solve it try to change the Feature set to Experimental instead of Supported and choose the GPU, CUDA.
If it doesn’t work get one of the latest versions from graphicall.org that supports CUDA and copy the folder scripts\addons\cycles\lib from Blender folder to the corresponding folder in the official version.

Hope it helped.

Will try, Thanks.

Neither of those seeming to be working for me. Anyone else use this card?

NVIDIA GeForce 210
Driver: nv4_mini.sys
Supported

Also, information says that my processor is 64, but I’m running 32 bit blender.

Why don’t you use the 64 bit version of Blender?
Check also that your drivers are updated.
