Render stops with " [gpu] no GPU matching requirements found "

Anonymous · ‎07-12-2018

I am momentarily facing some problems in rendering in Maya 2018 with Arnold and wonder if there could be a solution given here.

The scene is being worked on a workstation with 16GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB.
Render nodes are three identical Dell Poweredge R610 with 32GB RAM and Matrox G200 onboard (8MB).
Environmetal parameter to limit to 8 MB is set on the render nodes.

I tried with backburner 2019 and with batch render and came to the same conclusion in rendering the frames.

Render failed every time with the error "[gpu] no GPU matching requirements found".

To give a complete impression I add the log file of the batch render:

R:\>"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2018\bin\render.exe" -r arnold -s 2 -e 15 -b 3 "\\RED-QUEEN\Renderdisk\endterm_300_final_folder\scenes\Rendertest_interior.mb" -proj \"//red-queen/Renderdisk/Projekte/endterm_300_final_folder\"

The result is identical on each of the 3 render nodes.

Anything I have to set in Maya to prevent that ?

Hi @Anonymous

This seems a bit unusual since Arnold is a CPU based render not GPU. That said, are all your GPU drivers up to date?

Steps to update your drivers can be found here!

@Stephen.Blair might be able to confirm as well if this is specifically an arnold issue or something else.

All the best,

That's related to the Optix Denoiser, which is GPU based.

What version of MtoA do you have? I thought this was changed in the latest.

Dear Sean and Stephen,

thanks for responding so quickly.
My information was also that Arnold was just CPU-rendering.

The GPU drivers of the workstation I just updated 2 weeks ago fom NVIDIA 385 to the current 398.36.
Driver update for the Matrox G200 on the Dell servers are not available for Win10. So it will stay just a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

The Arnold Version was 3.0.0.1, so I updated that to 3.0.1.1 today on all 4 machines (which is Arnold core 5.1.1.1).

Starting the render again the error message changed to

[gpu] Nvidia cuda required

- but with the same result

Is it any setting in Maya that forces the batch render to use the GPU ?

Ok, problem solved. I looked for the AOVs in the render settings and removed the marks for "Denoise with Optix" in the Attribute Editor.

Now all 3 nodes are running on 100%.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Another thing, having other software open at the same time can cause this issue. For me, it was substance painter.
