GPUsniffer.exe will not accept my GeForce GTX 560 Ti using drivers newer than 296.10

I updated my GPU drivers since the 296.10 version is over a year old, but the Mercury playback hack wouldnt work anymore. I was going bonkers all day today trying to troubleshoot the issue. I uninstaleld and reinstalled a bunch of times. GPUsniffer would give the notice that it "did not find any devices that support GPU computation". I went back to the old drivers and sure enough, GPUsniffer would detect it.

I wanted to make this post for people googling issues with the hack involving the cuda_supported_cards.txt file involving CUDA enabled GeForce cards that aren't officially approved by Adobe, and also so the engineers at Adobe can maybe look into their end to see if its the GPUsniffer.exe that is the problem with not being able to detect the drivers, or maybe it's Nvidia's problem on their end that the drivers can't be detected. At least you guys can talk to one another to straighten things out.

I have a 560 Ti running the 314.07 drivers and I use hardware MPE. I don't bother with GPUSniffer any more -- I just delete the cuda_supported_cards.txt file. Pr doesn't skip a beat and I get all of its CUDA goodness.

I also use a 560 Ti, and all drivers have worked no problems. This isn't an nVidia or PP issue, something on your machine got wonky.

OK guys, i just went ahead and made a video showing you exactly what I'm doing and what happens with new and old drivers installed. You'll see that the new drivers simply do not work with everything else necessary to make the hack work remaining constant. In the middle of the video you might want to skip through since there's a long spot where the old drivers are installed.

I'm totally open to the fact that something could still be wrong on my end, but what can it be when this video shows the only difference between it working and not is clearly a driver change??

Just delete the cuda_supported_cards.txt file and you'll be good to go.

Hi Jeff, apologies for resurrecting an old thread but could you point me to the location of the, cuda_supported_cards.txt please.

Many thanks

why dont you paste your gpusniffer results and your cuda.txt file in here for us to see. 99% of the time it is a typo in the txt file.
