I can't get it to work - Ricybily - 04-02-2026
I've been trying many methods to get it working since it all started when I first installed it on my Windows 10 machine with a 5050. When I try to use Hashcat, it tells me I need compatible drivers and that I need to change them. I followed the entire process to change the drivers on the website, and when I finally manage to install them, it starts giving this error and I can't get past it.

I think the forum killed the image and I can't see it, please could you paste the error into here instead?

Installed NVIDIA driver doesn't match to the installed CUDA version.
More information (compatibility table) is here:

RE: I can't get it to work - Ricybily - 04-03-2026
i use CUDA 12.9 becase my driver version is 576.88. i just install the .exe, then i tried again but i get the same error:

RE: I can't get it to work - ZerBea - 04-03-2026
This "Unsupported .version 9.2; current version is '8.8'" is a compatibility issue between CUDA toolkit and driver. The installed versions do not match. Reinstalling hashcat won't solve the problem.
PTX ISA 8.8 CUDA 12.9 need driver r575 (see table 62):
https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/pdf/ptx_isa_8.8.pdf
PTX ISA 9.2 CUDA 13.2, need driver r595 (see table 65)
https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/pdf/ptx_isa_9.2.pdf
Remove outdated NVIDIA driver and outdated CUDA toolkit completely and make sure they are really removed completely.
Update NVIDIA driver to latest version (595.97).
Update CUDA toolkit to latest version (13.2).

Glad that it works now for you. Enjoy hashcat.
