Hi,
First of all im bad in English.
My specs :
CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
RAM : 16Go
GPU : Asus RTX 2060
HDD : 2x1 To (1st for windows and everything, 2nd only for the games)
Mb : MSI B450m pro-VDH max
So i come to you today because i have an issue with my Blender 2.93.5
I recently get an RTX 2060 and install (clean) latest Nvidia drivers (472.12) but then in Blender when i put Cycle/GPU Compute it stay grey and in settings/system neither in CUDA or OpenCL my graphic card appears.
In GPU-Z, CUDA and OpenCL are not checked (PhysX too) and in task manager i cant select CUDA (because there is no CUDA) instead of 3D for exemple.
This issue appears recently because i have used my new gpu in Blender with no problem and suddenly i cant anymore.
You use Display Driver Uninstaller to try to make a complete cleaning of old drivers, then install Studio nvidia driver by selecting option to make a clean installation.
If GPU-Z continues to indicate computation features disabled, then repeat the cleaning steps and uninstallation of the driver and you try with an earlier version of the nvidia driver different to 472.12.
Thanks for your reply
I did twice with DDU.
Im currently installing Visual Studio and CUDA Toolkit to see then if it didnt work ill try to install an earlier version of the Nvidia driver.
So far i did reinstall clean twice the drivers with different versions (i tried game ready and studio drivers), i cleaned the register with SFC and DISM just in case, i reinstalled Blender and it still doesnt work âNo compatible GPUs found for path tracingâ
I runed the blender_debug_gpu.cmd and got this : (i cant copy files)

You could create a report on the bug tracker and share that information. But this is almost certainly a problem with your OS installation or your hardware. You imagine that if this were a general problem there would be many people complaining about this.
Do you have the possibility to try another OS installation? (this to make sure it is your current windows installation problem and not due to hardware problem)
Maybe a Linux distro in live mode? PopOS! includes a version with nvidia drivers that you can test in live mode if you burn the image to a DVD or USB memory stick. Then starting PopOS! in live mode, you download official blender for linux, you unpack the package to a folder, and there inside the folder you run âblenderâ file (double click on file in the file browser)
Im using only one GPU on one monitor.
But, i just wipped my drive and reinstalled Windows, after reintalling evreythings it work again, so it was a windows/software issue not hardware.
