1 Hi,
2
3 I have discussed this on www.blenderartists.org and they asked
4 me to ask here to sort out, whether the problem is a Blender-thing,
5 a Linux-thing or a GENTOO-thing.

7 My setup is as follows:
8 NVidia RTX 2060 SUPER

10 NVidia-drivers:
11 [I] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
12 Available versions: (~)304.137-r1(0/304)^md[1] (~)340.107-r2(0/340)^md[1] 340.108(0/340)^mtd (~)375.82-r2(0/375)^md[1] (~)378.13-r5(0/378)^md[1] (~)381.22-r3(0/381)^md[1] (~)384.130-r1(0/384)^md[1] (~)387.34-r1(0/387)^md[1] (~)390.77-r1(0/390)^md[1] (~)390.87(0/390)^md[1] 390.132-r1(0/390)^mtd (~)390.132-r2(0/390)^mtd (~)396.24-r2(0/396)^md[1] (~)396.24.10-r1(0/396.24)^md[1] (~)396.45-r1(0/396)^md[1] (~)396.51-r1(0/396)^md[1] (~)396.51.02(0/396.51)^md[1] (~)396.54(0/396)^md[1] 430.64-r1(0/430)^mtd 435.21-r1(0/435)^mtd 440.64(0/440)^mtd {+X acpi compat +driver gtk3 +kms +libglvnd multilib pax_kernel static-libs +tools uvm wayland ABI_MIPS="n32 n64 o32" ABI_RISCV="lp64 lp64d" ABI_S390="32 64" ABI_X86="32 64 x32" KERNEL="FreeBSD linux"}

15 Description: NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver
16
17 Blender 2.82a (stable) and
18 Blender 2.83 (deveoper build)
19
20 The NVidia RTX-cards offer a new feature called "Optix" which blender
21 can use to speed up rendering and denoising.
22
23 When Blender is started one choose "Optix" from the user
24 Preferences->System tab and then the Optix-enabled devices of the
25 system in question are shown.
26 There is a similiar tab, if you want to use CUDA instead.
27
28 The CUDA tab shows my graphics card and everything behaves as
29 exsoected. Choosing "Optix" instead says "No Optix enabled
30 device".
31
32 Which is not quite right, since the RTX-cards are Optix enabled.
33
34 In the thread on blenderartists there were two libs (?) mentioned (on
35 a Ubuntu system, where the Optix thingie works), which I cannot
36 find on my system:
37
38 + libnividia-compute
39 + libnivia-gl
40
41 . Does Gentoo installs a differently packaged nvidia-driver?
42 What is the source of those libraries?
43
44 If someone got Optix running with blender on a RTX-card under GENTOO
45 I woyld be very happy for any help! :)
46
47 Cheers and stay healthy!
