Hi Guys!

Im havng a GeForce GTX 460 installed (which has oficially Compute Capabilityof 2.1 and Cuda 9.1 with its latest driver 391.35 (2018)).

According to the documentation that should be just okay:
https://meshroom-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/requirements/requirements.html

"Meshroom requires an NVIDIA GPU card with a CUDA compute capability >= 2.0 for the MVS part."

Anyhow if I go to the download section of the website it says:
"Requirement NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU (built with cuda-10 compatible with compute capability 3.0 to 7.5)"

Did the requirements change recently?

I can not use the software wihout getting the following CUDA error msg: (Also after enabling meshroom in the nvidia cuda settings)
Program called with the following output log (just the start):
* describerPreset = "normal"
* describerTypes = "sift"

Thanks for any information!

I'm having exactly the same problem, I have an Nvidia Geforce GTX470 graphics card 32 gig ram i5 cpu SSD hardrive but it won't finnish the render

I'm using a Quadro 6000 with a compute capability of 2.0 and has 448 CUDA cores - having the same messages pop up.

I too would like to know if its a new requirement due to program updates in Meshroom.

Hi,

Yes, there a notion of compatibility of the code which is compute capability >= 2.x but as we make releases with cuda-10 the binaries are only compatibles with compute capability >= 3.0.

"CUDA SDK 10.0 – 10.2 support for compute capability 3.0 – 7.5"

Some older releases of Meshroom have been done with an older version of cuda.

Best Regards,

Fabien

Thank you Fabien, that helps a lot. Looks like my best option is to try an earlier version and see how it goes.
