It is happening at the very beginning of the Cycles render: CUDA error at cuCtxCreate: Unknkown error. I don't know how to even respond to that. It started when I added a basic glass material and a mirror material. I don't recall doing anything more than that on that file, and the iteration before it works. I tried getting rid of those materials but it still won't render. What should I do now?

I'm going to try rebuilding it from the previous iteration, but I thought maybe there was something I should know here.

  • Just FYI for troubleshooting sake, I changed nothing and it rendered fine on my machine (Blender 2.78c, GTX 1050 Ti, 970, and 1060). I would definitely change the tile size to something like 240 x 270 for most efficient use of your GPU but that's not related to the error. – bertmoog Jul 25 '17 at 02:39
  • Works fine for me as well, driver 382.05 on GTX 960. Im running windows 10 though – tacofisher Jul 25 '17 at 02:41

    No problem rendering on dual 780Ti on windows either. Check if there are any other versions of the Nvidia drivers that you can use. I had an issue at some point in linux and the solution was downgrading to a previous version. –  Jul 25 '17 at 02:44

    See the last edit to this question: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/64613/gpu-rendering-issue-cuda-error-at-cuctxcreate-illegal-address - Do you have any overclocking on your card?

  • @bertmoog ah yes, tile size - just learned about that. But this was a render of just a still image, i wouldn't have thought it would present my machine much challenge. No, nothing is overclocked. – kim holder Jul 25 '17 at 02:49

    This is not a great time for me to be fiddling, i'm against the clock right now. So, based on the guidance above, for now i switched to the CPU as the rendering device. For these still images, that's fine. – kim holder Jul 25 '17 at 02:57
