RC - Failed to initialize CUDA device(s)

[Chasedavid44]

I’m working on a project with RC installed on a VM with the below GPU specs. When creating a High-Detail mesh, I get a “Failed to initialize CUDA device(s)” error. This typically happens near the end of the model creation stage. This error does happen when reducing the reconstruction box to a limited region of the point cloud and performing Normal Detail, Unwrap, and Texturing. What can I do to fix this issue and use High Detail?

Hi @Chasedavid44
I am sorry for this.

Which version of RealityCapture are you using? If one since 1.4 version, are you running it through Epic Games Launcher? Is normal detail model finished? After this error do you have the options to resume model calculation? Is this happening for all your projects of just for some?

You can check also these posts with similar issues and some proposed solutions:

CUDA ERROR

RC cannot reconstruct in normal detail due to an error. CUDA error: (700). Please try updating your CUDA driver. I installed the latest versions and I also tried to reinstall another version but it doesn’t work. Specs: NVIDIA Studio 512.96; CUDA Toolkit 11.7; Latest version RC; Nvidia RTX 2080 ti; Windows 11 thanks

Failed to initialize CUDA device(s)

Hello, Many months ago I successfully used Capturing Reality to create 3D models from images and today purchased a 90 day license.  Now, when I attempt to create a 3D reconstruction using images, I get the message “Failed to inialize CUDA device(s)”. I understand that CUDA 2.1 is required, but I am using a GeForce GT 705, which I understood should support this version of CUDA.  Is there any way to diagnose the root cause of this problem? Best Regards, Edward

There are some general fixing methods which can help with this: restart, clear cache, reinstall drivers, clean install, different reconstruction settings
