Are you a real computer MacGyver? Here's a challenge.
In front of you is a computer running Windows 7.
It can't be updated to Windows 10/11 or Linux.
You need to run some shit that needs Cuda 12.
As a reminder, Windows 7 is officially limited to Cuda 10.2, dlls of Cuda up to 11.1 can still be extracted and used though, but not 12.
A Linux/Win10/11 Virtual Machine could an option, but VMWare for Windows 7 is limited to 3GB VRAM and you need at least 6 (out of 12).
Other information: This computer only has a graphic card, no integrated iGPU.
I admit it: I suck and I have no solution... '-_-
What about you Anon, are you a real big-balled computer MacGyver?
>What about you Anon,
i am employed
this is the lamest thread of this month
>he didn't watch macgyver reruns with his mom as a kid
anon there is nothing lame about macgyver. He's pretty fricking awesome
Install cuda or VMware with that VxKex program the dev posted on here a while back. Let me know if it works, I think it's supposed to be like extended kernel.
You're awesome, I'll try it right now, thanks.
No, I got to install Cuda 12 thanks to VxKex but I still have the same error :
"OSError: [WinError 126] Error loading "(...) torchlibcudart64_12.dll" or one of its dependencies."
🙁
My main PC no longer has Nvidia, but back when I was messing with stable diffusion I remember you could just replace one particular DLL with an older version and the rest of it would work fine.
I don't remember the name of that DLL but it was quite small in filesize compared to the rest. Give me a screenshot of all the CUDA DLLs in the folder and I'll see if I can pick one out.
>cudart
yeah that might be the one.
Also, upload the .vxl file that it made somewhere. It will contain the error that caused it not to load. They are located in %localappdata%vxkexlogs by default.
KYS updooter
You poorgays are the problem with open source AI. It's all got to be free as in beer, it's got to be able to say Black person and generate dicky, and to top it off, it's got to run on a 10 year old gpu on a 15 year old os.
Get a job.
>You poorgays are the problem with open source AI
Nah. Python shit devs who updoot libraries all the time, break everything, and import 9999 libraries that cause download sizes to be in the 100s of homiebytes are the real problem. Whatever "problems" Windows 7 support causes is a drop in the bucket compared to what python Black folk do every day
Develop it yourself then. Oh wait you can't because you're a moronic poorgay Black person.
Get a job.
In the log about Cuda 12 everything seems ok except two warnings :
SetProcessMitigationPolicy called with unsupported MitigationPolicy value 16
and

About Stable Diffusion, yes it's cudart_10 that needs to be replaced on Windows 7. Automatic1111 runs perfectly on it by the way, but it doesn't support LayerDiffusion. Forge and Comfy do but they need Cuda12, like many other stuff now.
>AppPolicyGetThreadInitializationType
that happens to have been added in the latest release. I honestly doubt that will fix your problem, though. I'm going to set up a test machine with a nvidia GPU to try this stuff out at some point.
If you are the author, thanks for your work. 😉
By the way, I just got Forge working... I just replaced its torch folder with the torch folder from Automatic1111, and it works, though the dlls are from Cuda 10 and don't even have the same names... Same for Layer Diffusion, it works. That is weird because I am pretty sure that I tried this exact same trick two weeks ago and it did not work...
>MacGyver
Or OP watched a lot of The Simpsons. Does The Simpsons still reference MacGyver?
Believe it or not, some of the people born in the 80s are still alive in 2024, and we tend to forget that you youngsters won't always get our TV references.
>It can't be updated to Windows 10/11
I bet you sorry sweet ass it can, post specs gramps
Imagine going on the 70s sport cars section of a mecanics forum and trolling "just buy an electric car" and you'll understand how off-topic you are.
Not really, that would be like telling him to not use cuda or buy an completely different computer (admittedly one homosexual did this), but a second hard drive or something is just pointing out this can be done way eaiser without significant expense. This also doesn't seem like something that's feasible to me, not necessarily literally impossible, but you'll have to track down so many errors it's just fricked
would love to be proven wrong though
>and you'll understand how off-topic you are.
We are not. 7niles and XPedos are the equivalent of zealous boomers who refuse to leave their place during natural disaster and cry that they dont have tap water, electricity and so on. There is not a single logical reason for OP not to update apart from being detached, tech-illiterate subhuman with baby duck syndrome.
>it’s ok to laugh at the homeless boomers in the disaster zone
you just sound like a shitty person, no kap.
Yes, it is, because in this case, those old boomers refused to leave their place when they had time and were offered help with transport, therefore they shouldnt expect that someone will provide them with supplies. The same was as 7niles and XPedos should not expect to receive any legacy support since pretty much all of them can update at any moment and yet they refuse to do so, either out of pride or stupidity. In both cases those people suffer from the consequences of their own moronic decisions and do not deserve any compassion.
Cool cleavage, bro.
if you can run modified cuda libraries you can update to a newer OS. this is fricking stupid. if this is a good use of your time you need to get a job so next time you have a problem like this you just buy a new computer because you have better shit to do than trying to backport CUDA of all things. High performance software on old hardware. it's an oxymoron
>Windows 7
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
just get a second hard drive off the flea market and use it to run linux, jesus christ dude
>It can't be updated to Windows 10/11 or Linux.
You absolutely can update it. Stop posting hourly cope threads and get up to date.
>It can't be updated to Windows 10/11 or Linux.
artificial limitation rather than hardware
What about Docker?
Just install linux already jesus christ
Explain why Linux isn't an option? Is there really some SW that you want to use and Proton isn't compatible with?
>Explain why Linux isn't an option
thumbnails in file picker
Thanks.
If you can literally just copypaste DLLs and make things magically work then apparently there wasn't a real win10 "requirement", just an artificial block.
>thumbnails in file picker
Last I heard they half assed it and it doesn't actually show any thumbnails unless you go and open the folder in the explorer as well to generate the thumbnails.
In otherwords, still no thumbnails in the file picker. Maybe in 18 more years :^)
what about dual boot? sure I wouldn't install linux on a separate partition, but a sata ssd costs what? 50-60€? decouple your windows install, attach sata disk, install linux.. technically you're not updating win7 install.
Cuda 11.8 is all you need
