Hello!

hashcat don't see my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti: "cuInit(): no CUDA-capable device is detected"
Please ask how to fix it.
Thank you.

Support for HIPRTC was dropped by AMD Adrenalin Edition 22.7.1 and later.
This is not a hashcat problem.

Please install the AMD HIP SDK

Please double-check if NVidia do officially support the specific operating system you want to use.

Try a freshly installed Windows 10 (not Windows Server).
Also you can try to isolate the problem using Linux.

I believe this is not a hardware problem.
And I also believe that this hardware will work with hashcat on Linux or Windows 10.
But this PC is not a "hashcat PC", I can only run hashcat at a time when it is free from other tasks.
And deviceQuery.exe from NVIDIA sees the video card, so I assume that drivers are correct.

BTW. Now I use for hashcat OpenCL 2.1 with AMD Ryzen 7 2700X on this PC. CPU load is 100% all the time while hashcat is running. Can I reduce the CPU load? I tried "-w 1", but nothing changed.

If possible, try to boot a fresh Windows (or Linux) from a USB-flash.
Then install the correct drivers and play with hashcat there.
Otherwise, it is difficult to accurately diagnose the problem.

Ubuntu is recommended Linux distribution.

Concerning CPU load, may be these posts will be useful

Maybe anybody has any ideas how to use NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti in hashcat on Windows Server 2019?
(I can't change OS.)
Thank you.

Which drivers did you install for your graphics card? It is not detecting an usable driver in either the format of OpenCL (Nvidia Graphics Drivers) or CUDA (CUDA Developer Toolkit). Judging by your setup, it has several drivers installed but were those installed by yourself or system admin? Preloaded by windows? What authorization do you have on the PC? Full admin privileges? User privileges? Are you running in a VM?

Otherwise, once hashcat detects a proper runtime it can use, it will be defined in hashcat -I and you will need to isolate the device to only using the GPU by either using -d or -D, which ever is more convenient for yourself.

This all could be in relation to enterprise drivers not being compatible but that would require a confirmation from someone else using the operating system or maybe a developer can chirp in.

slyexe, thanks for your response!

This is a physical PC without virtualization, I connect via RDP, I am the only administrator with full rights.
The drivers were originally installed with Windows by the vendor.
Then I downloaded cuda_12.3.0_545.84_windows.exe from the Nvidia website.
When installing cuda_12.3.0_545.84_windows.exe, it was written that my old driver (I don’t remember the exact version) would be replaced with the driver version 545.84 available in this package.

Based on the fact that
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v12.3\extras\demo_suite\deviceQuery.exe
sees CUDA (listing in the first post), I'm guessing this is some kind of hashcat issue. So I wanted to get advice from more knowledgeable forum members or provide additional information for a full bug report.

Has anybody any new ideas maybe?

Don't assume your driver is correct, reinstall as stated here

Do you have physical access to the server?
