I was trying to use my Laptop GPU with CUDA support to render images faster on Blender, but I receiving this error message when trying to enable it on Edit -> Preferences -> System -> Cycles Render Devices:
"No compatible GPUs found for Cycles Requires NVIDIA GPU with compute capability 3.0."After many testings I got it working:
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535 nvidia-dkms-535
$ sudo apt install nvidia-settings
$ sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkitThen after restarting the computer it worked:
$ nvidia-smi
