Dear colleagues,

Shall I proceed with the cryoSPARC v5 update if I have Blackwell GPU cards on one of our servers?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Dmitry

CryoSPARC v5 uses CUDA 12.8 which drops support for NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability 3.5 (Kepler). Only GPUs with compute capability 5.0 (Maxwell) to 12.0 (Blackwell) are supported. NVIDIA Blackwell devices are only compatible with the open driver. See Guide: Updating to CryoSPARC v5 (BETA) | CryoSPARC Guide for more details.

@Dmitry We have some Blackwell cards, and v5.0.1 beta works without any issues so far.
