AO doesn't work in GPU windows XP 32 bits
Closed, ArchivedPublic

Description

Hello !

I have seen that AO doesn't work with CUDA GPU (GeForce GTX 260) in windows XP 32 bits.
Strengh=0 of the background world, and AO=1.
The result is black.
It works fine in CPU.

Thanks a lot for your amazing work ! Blender rocks !

This feature is disabled on this graphics card unfortunately, due to hardware limitations, only newer cards support all features. See here:

It's a stupid limitation but not much we can do about it.
