Error 1000 - clcreatecontext

Post by sanches84 »

Good day!

I'm using Windows 10 64bits and Raylectron 4.6 GPU version.

When i launch the Raylectron, it show this message : "Error -- 1000: clCreateContext".

If i click in ok, i can't open any rof file.

Please, i need some help.

Thanks

Hello,

This means you do not have a compatible graphic card so you should uninstall it and download the CPU version instead.

I am using the NVIDIA 920M. It is not compatible?

How can access the list of compatible graphic cards?

It is a laptop graphic GPU and it's not very fast, very few cores and uses DDR3 not DDR5 and has not much memory. All of the GTX/Quadro cards from NVIDIA are compatible, as long as they have 1500+ cores and 4GB od DDR5 minimum. We do not recommend using the GPU version on any laptop because they are simply not powerful enough, they are only excellent for games and video playback. For example, Raylectron is really fast of the GTX-980TI with 2816 cores and 6GB or DDR5, but it's only for desktop PCs, not for laptops.

NVIDIA 920M is not compatible with raylectron?

Actually it is not faster than your CPU. Raylectron is compatible with it but will not run on it because it's a very low end GPU when it come to rendering. It's excellent for gaming however. Raylectron need 1500+ GPU cores and your GPU has only 88.

GPU is not like a CPU. GPU is geared for graphics, the CPU is geared for mathematics. For example, if you run on the GPU something like 100+33, it will run it much, much slower than on the CPU. The advantage of the GPU is parallel processing, each is slow, but with 1500 of them, it gets fast. On the CPU, you also have parallel processing, each of which is way faster than the GPU, but, you only have 8, but those 8, as really, really fast. So to have something the same speed as your CPU, your GPU would need 1500 cores to be about the same as your 4 cores 8 threads CPU.
