I am running Blender 2.76b on Kubuntu 16.04. I am using proprietary drivers at version 375.85 and my graphic card is GTX 1070. From what I read the drivers are recent enough and 3 years old Blender had already the CUDA support.

Any ideas what is wrong?

PS: I assume drivers are alright, because GPU acceleration is working fine in games.

  • $\begingroup$ If you installed the nvidia drivers from the repository, you might not have the cuda library. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 17:40
  • $\begingroup$ On Linux the open source drivers do not work with Cuda, you need to install the proprietary drivers for Nvidia. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 21:39
  • $\begingroup$ @Denis Oh, official Ubuntu repository is not updating often then. I'll try installing some other way, thank you. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 22, 2017 at 5:29

Unlike Windows, the proprietary driver packet does not include CUDA under Linux, you have to install it additionally, I tripped over this problem a few times myself.

You can follow these instructions, they describe the process in detail:
