to no avail.

Is it possible at all to mine with cudaminer or it uses smth this ion on 1215n doesn't have??

I'm trying to make cudaminer 2013.12.18 (or any of them) work on my test machine: Asus 1215N ion which supports cuda. Win7x64SP1 (tried on Win8.1x64 too)

I installed Visual Studio 2008 + C++ redistributables + cuda toolkit + sdk 3.2 & drivers which were included in toolkit. First it was done on Win8.1x64 machine, then I installed Win7x64SP1 MSDN + all updates + drivers from Asus + cuda ...

When I run cudaminer I get:
Code:
c:\cudaminer\x64>cudaminer
           *** CudaMiner for nVidia GPUs by Christian Buchner ***
                     This is version 2013-12-18 (beta)

But if I run devicequery & bandwidthTestI successfully get:

Also all Cuda C samples from NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser work correctly!

I tried all versions of cudaminer from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cudaminer-ccminer-cuda-based-mining-applications-windowslinuxmacosx-167229

So how can I make cudaminer to recognize cuda?!

BTW I cannot run devicequery or bandwidthTest from anywhere, only from C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2\C\bin\win64\Release (or NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser app). Is it normal or maybe some path should be set manually?

I tried to configure it manually like here: http://coitweb.uncc.edu/~abw/SIGCSE2011Workshop/ConfiguringVSforCUDA.pdf but it's still the same Sad

Help!


Best regards,
