ge force gt 730 2gb ddr3 trouble

ok so I just got the NVidia gt 730 2 gigs ddr3 im running an i7 64 bit asus motherboard p7p55lx ever nothing but trouble since I put it in. did all the research thought I made a decent choice. maybe not im getting this error,cuda error; cuMemAlloc(divice_pointer size , and this morning I got this… Cuda error:ILLEGAL ADDRESS in cuCtxSynchronize() which I think means its in the wrong slot. there’s three PCIe slots on my mobo took out the old ati hd 5450 and WHAT THE %^&$ nothing cant render at all even have the env. variable set (CYCLES_OPENCL CYCLES_OPENCL=TEST=all)nothing need help if anyone can PLEASE !!! tried so many things soooooo many hours

Hi, I am sorry but your posts are unreadable, please add breaks, and add some punctuation mark´s.

Blender version
OS
System specs
Driver version
error message 1
error message 2
and so forth.

Start testing with the default cube scene, does the scene render with CPU?
We try to help you.

Cheers, mib

sorry about that I. I’m running windows i7 860 asus mobo p7p55LX , 2.73a and dailys ,goosbury . been testing for days . there’s an OPENGL driver problem that’s known , apparently by everyone but me . Cuda error out of memory,crash and a 'notify_send ’ not recognized as anything .

ok sooooo ive done a lot more researcher on this and have found it is not worth the trouble or money not to mention the aggravation to continue with nvidia graffics cards . as this problem has been around since windows vista came out 12 years ago , no future responces need be posted , going back to amd

Blender doesn’t support AMD GPU rendering if I’m not mistaken.

you are mistaken safety. cuda rendering does not support amd so its slower on amd cards but if you look at mib2berlins benchmark thread amd works as good as the new gtx960. but with ddr3 why not just use the cpu? its going to be as fast and probably not limited to 2 gigs when cycles engine take up over 1 gig.

you are not wrong . but im having this problem on windows where the opengl driver dosent play nice with the windows display driver , and causes an error( ( ERROR: Code 7 ) plus a cuMemAllos(divice-pointer.size :crash. AND a 'notify-send error , crash ), which causes the graffics card to reset if it cant get the calculations done in 2 seconds.on windows vista and up that operating system has something called a TDR , which as far as I can tell has been around for years . now there are solutions to this error , that may or may not work. this tomer event is causing me more trouble than its worth for me personally. sooooo there you have it .

1.) It is really hard to understand your posts.
2.) What is your OS and driver?
3.) Given that it is really the bottom of nVida´s lineup I guess it could be a waste of time anyway.

Yo ,rdo3. Thanks for that pickup. Just can’t understand all this gpu talk .don’t see the acceleration everyone’s talking about. Is it just marketing , I’ve done alot of research. Just don’t get it. I have an I7 beast of a computer . My renders look great .
