Zotac GTX760 AMP EDITION

[verlyol]

I have purchased a Zotac Geforce GTX760 AMP EDITION and I do not have GPU recognized in the system log.

I'm under Ubuntu 13.10 with the Nvidia driver 319

Please post that section of the log.

The device ID is 1187 and is already in the GPUs.txt file. So this becomes a driver issue. Make sure to use NV drivers, not the open source drivers.

On Ubuntu the gpus.txt file may not update automatically if you are running as a service (normal).

Either restart from the command line: "sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient restart"
or download the file manually to /var/lib/fahclient and then reboot.

I'm under Ubuntu 13.10 with the Nvidia driver 319 (updates) not de opensource driver...

The detection of CUDA is ok but not GPU found in the system log....

[davidcoton]

As 7im said, please post the log.
CUDA is not used with Core17 (and therefore, not used for GPU on Linux).
GPU detection could fail if gpus.txt is absent or out of date, since the built-in list is nearly a year old. See my post above.

I download the latest GPUs.txt I placed in / var / lib / fahclient /

I checked the file GPUs.txt was present, but it is always the same ...


In the system log:

GPUs 0
CUDA 3.0
CUDA Driver 5050

Until you post the System log as requested twice, not much more we can do.

I wouldn't use the 'updates' driver but rather just the nvidia-319 driver.

You may need a later driver for that card.

Suggest you add xorg-edgers' repository and install nvidia-331.

Open a terminal and copy/paste the following:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331

After a reboot start FAHClient and check to see if your GPU is now recognized.

Hopefully the next part won't be necessary but If your desktop fails to show after a reboot you may need to purge the drivers.

If Ubuntu shows a message about low graphics mode:

ctrl-alt-F1
log in with your username and password

First try to remove bumblebee which has been reported as causing this problem:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge bumblebee

sudo reboot

If that doesn't fix the low graphics problem try:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers

sudo reboot

This should revert your drivers back to Ubuntu 13.10's drivers and should allow you to get back to the desktop.

An alternative to xorg-edgers would be to download the linux 319.76 drivers from nvidia and manually install them. There are instructions on the nvidia site for installing linux drivers under Additional Information.

Don't load anything newer than 327.xx or folding will run slower, unless your model of GPU is not supported in 327.xx. Then load the newer one because you don't have a choice.
