I am a new user to rhino. the version i am using is rhino8.
The software runs fine on my notebook, beside a few crashes but i have a problem with raytracing.
When i switch to raytracing mode i get the following error:
I can overcome this issue when i change my render engine in options to my CPU, but i would like to use my graphics card for rendering. I also tried updating my GPU drivers, having no results.
With my graphics card selected the raytracing view looks like this:
Thanks for your suggestion, I tried performing a clean installation of the latest NVidia-driver after deleting all old ones and files related to them. I even wiped the registry.
Now i dont get the error message from above anymore, but rhino doesnât respond anymore after switching to raytracing when my graphics card is selected as render device. Also the information bar where i got the error, still stays orange.
Maybe youeâve got any other ideas how i can solve this issue.
Rhino Cycles is probably compiling the kernels. This is in Rhino 8.0, Rhino 8.1 and Rhino 8.2 still happening in the main Rhino process. It means after switching to Raytraced or doing a Rhino Render youâll have to give it time to do the compilation. On my RTX A6000 and RTX 6000 Ada gen GPUs I have times fluctuate between 5 and 12 minutes.
So, patience.
From Rhino 8.3 (probably becomes SRC in 2 weeks time or so) onwards compilation of kernels will happen outside of the main process in a separate process. While the compile is ongoing RhinoCycles will fallback to CPU rendering until the kernels are ready.
Hey guys, quick update
the issue somehow resolved itself. After some restarts raytracing now works fine with my GPU selected as render device. Seems like installing the latest nvidia driver did the trick after all.
Thanks again!
That is what I said in two different ways, you have to switch to Raytraced, then wait for it to start actually rendering - kernel compilation is ongoing.
It has now managed to compile the kernels and you have working GPU rendering.
On rhino 8.6 Cycles refuses to use my RTX 4090 24GB card and is falling back to CPU . Drivers are updates computer brand new i7 13700KF with Gygabyte Z790 Elite x wifi7 motherboard 64 GB DDR5 RAM .
Everything on the computer is uptaded,
Any suggestions ?

Windows 11 Garbage - âWindows Decidesâ what processor each program uses. You have to change it in settings. Itâs a bit of a convoluted process which Iâm willing to share if anyone asks. Seems to have been fixed. Windows 11 is pretty s**t so far in more ways than one.
