<![CDATA[Black Screen when using Nvidia GPU]]>Hello, I noted a problem I had seen referenced in another thread. In my case, I am using an Nvdida 4080 graphics card, with studio driver 616.56, cuda 13.4, and VS v 1.3.025. When I try to turn on "View Using GPU", the screen turns black. With very large documents, I noted that the system would slow down, so the use of the GPU would, I hope, address this issue.

Mine had 12K nodes, and the programme became slow and unstable. I discovered subsequently that switching from GPU to Software in the performance preferences helped, and especially turning on the options for, in my case, 24 threads. The biggest improvement then came from rendering layers as image, a setting that did not have an impact when the performance setting was set to GPU.

What was in the large document when it slowed down?
I you can share some examples by email it would help identifying the issue.

Hello, yes this have been reported by other also. It seems that not all Nvidia cards are supported with CUDA based rendering.

Is there an OpenCL option for you for the compute mode in the VectorStyler preferences?
