Redshift not supported on this machine

[jmcewen]

I tried to create a custom Redshift render style today, but was greeted with an error message that said my machine did not support Redshift.  I am trying to figure out where I fall short.  While I am certain that there are people out there with nicer machines than mine, mine is still pretty powerful.  I think it should handle this without trouble, and if not should still work for CPU powered Redshift.  Instead it says it will create the style as a Realistic style. 

 

I went to the Redshift FAQ in the forum here to try to figure it out and i should be fine.  I am above all the recommended requirements.

• it recommends 16GB Ram; I have 128
• it recommends i7 or xeon equivalent at 3.0GHz or higher; I have a Xeon W-11855M at 3.2GHz
• it recommends an  NVIDIA GPU with CUDA compute capability of 7.0 or higher and 8GB of VRAM; I have an NVIDIA RTX A5000 (mobile) with CUDA compute capability of 8.6 and 16GB of VRAM.

 

 Are there other requirements I am just not finding or is there just a setting I need to toggle somewhere to enable Redshift?

I’m not on Windows so I can’t directly address your question, but I did find this thread with a fix for a different Nvidia GPU on Windows 10. Might help. Dunno.

Thank you.  When I can get back to my desk I will check on this.
