NVIDIA QUATRO P1000 no Cuda ... no 4K?

[SURV69]

In Short …

What Can I do to put my hands on an affordable(spelled U-S-E-D), NVIDIA 4K, GPU card with Cuda … that works?

Isn’t there a sort of list or a specific list of required specifications … I hate to buy another NVIDIA GPU card, that doesn’t work.

You need one with at least 8gb vram.

I got myself a 3060 12gb to be sure.

You don’t really need a large amount of VRAM unless you want to use GPU ultra feature extraction. With my NVIDIA GForce RTX 3060 8GBVRAM I can do GPU feature extraction with my images to 4050pixels in the long dimension.
See: Image size change for Ultra feature extraction?

Some say using ultra is unnecessary, and in any case, CPU feature extraction can give better results.

However, in dense reconstruction of the point cloud the GPU is used, but with very low VRAM required, so a 4GB card will work just as well as one with 24GB VRAM, if they had the same number/speed CUDA cores.

I can get 8GB vram(I have 4GB), but can I return it if it does not get fully recognized by WebODM?

I don’t so, so How do I not potentially throw money away, if Cuda and my beloved 4K doesn’t work?

As it is, I believe this card I have meets specs … it’s just that WebODM indicates I don’t have the latest driver, though NVIDIA, claims I do …

This is looking a little like a Rabbit hole …

I had no luck with my 2060 6gb.

@SURV69

my beloved 4K doesn’t work?

What do you mean by “doesn’t work”? Are you wanting to do GPU ultra feature extraction, or doesn’t it work for dense reconstruction?

[SURV69]

I get a [WARNING], that my video card is recognized, and the CUDA, is recognized, but WebODM, cannot use my CUDA(?), and ask if my driver is up to date … I checked the NVIDIA site, and I’m informed I have the latest driver.

I don’t have a problem getting another video card, but I want two things …

The use of my 4K monitor(I’m only getting 2K), and the use of CUDA, which should speed up that stage of computations.

I just think there should be a way to know if one, or the other might work, before I buy it.

Have you read this topic:

Hardware Recommendations – CPU cores, graphics card, CUDA, NVIDIA, memory, RAM, storage

After some time using WebODM and researching many subjects in the forum, there are many questions about which hardware to use and how to get the best results in a reasonable time. So I kept statistics for the projects I rendered. The rendering machine also was upgraded in between. That gave me some understanding which component is affecting the rendering process in which way. Since there are often questions in the forum about which hardware is needed or best, I decided to put my findings onlin…
