NVIDIA Nsight Debugging on GTX 480

I have one machine with GeForce GTX 480 but I can't debug or run analysis activity on it. This error appears when I debug or run analysis activity:

The remote system is logged in through Remote Desktop. CUDA debugging does not support Remote Desktop unless a TCC adapter is installed.

My Nsight version is 2.2. Whats wrong?

Solution

  • You would need a TCC capable card (Quadro or Tesla series) if you want to use the GPU from inside a RPD session.

    When you do not have a TCC capable GPU, you can for example install VNC Server as a service and use that to access the machine.

    Alternatively you can configure windows autologin to log you in automatically and have have the Nsight Monitor in the startup group (but to access the desktop remotely you would still need some kind of remote access software like VNC).
