Portal RTX and Nvidia RTX A6000

[Father Grigori]

Hello,

I have an issue which really bothers me. I have an Nvidia RTX A6000 and it simply refuse to run because of driver compatibility.

I have checked the Nvidia drivers page and for my GPU the latest drivers are 527.27, these drivers are designed and tested to provide long-term stability and availability. These drivers are ideal for enterprise customers and professional users who require application and hardware certification and regular driver updates for the latest in driver enhancements and security improvements and cannot run Portal RTX?

Pardon my dissatisfaction but this game is build with the help of Quadro/RTX graphics card and they cannot run it? How is that possible that a 4650$ card cannot run this overhauled 15 years old game?

Any suggestions?

Thank you

As portal requires 527.56? You're out of luck until nvidia releases a newer driver for your quadro.

As that card is intended for production work, I'm not sure what else you'd expect.

Production cards don't get gameready drivers. They get, as you said, long term stability drivers.

As mentioned, drivers. Why I run two windows install for my A5000 and 3080ti.

Most production users tend to do this.

If don't dual or triple boot, game ready drivers should install just fine, as long as you do a clean install.

Just keep in mind, while it has the memory, it's a bit worse than a FE 3080ti in gaming.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.

And as a side note I had a 3090 TI and replaced it with this RTX A6000 and believe me, most games (DLSS enabled) are more stable and more smoother than was with my 3090 TI in 4k (4096x2160 not 3840x2160)

From my point of view is pretty insane but if you do production work and game at the same time, RTX/Quadro is a better choice than GeForce, even if you have to wait a bit longer until Nvidia releases a newer driver for the RTXs/Quadros GPUs.

GPUs prices are insane lately anyway.

I don't mind to wait maybe a month, let's hope Nvidia will update the drivers if not, I'll try your workaround to edit the driver files. It's not piece of cake but I have enough knowledge to try.

Again thanks :)
