Hi,
are you able to start Lc0 with a setup position?

I have no graphic Card and when I Setup a Position with blas Version for CPU inside Shredder GUI, Lc0 crashes here.
What GUI do you use?

Personally, I use Arena. Lc0 doesn't have any issues when I feed it a position.

You just need to update your nvidia driver so that it supports 11.1

You were correct. I "thought" I had the latest version, but I did not. I updated the drivers and now it is working. Doesn't seem to be any faster, but the utilization on the GPU is a lot lower.

I had lc0 working fine on my PC, but after DL'ing 26.3-rc2 it is tossing errors. I have a GTX1080 (no fp-16 support). I dl'ed the lc0-v0.26.3-rc2-windows-gpu-nvidia-cuda.zip file It installed the cuda 11 dll's along with the other lc0 files. when i run lc0 from a command prompt, I get the following:...

I've done both and it didn't seem to make a difference as long as the "shift" and move mask values are correct for ...
