Hello Everyone,

I am trying to enable GPU acceleration in Materials Studio on my laptop, for Forcite Dynamics Calculations on around 6000-atom polymer element, which I'm synthesizing, but the "Use GPU" checkbox remains greyed out in Forcite no matter what I try.

My System:

• OS: Windows 11 Home Single Language
• CPU: Intel Core i7-14700HX
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (8GB) + Intel UHD
• Driver: 581.95

Steps I Have Taken:

1. Drivers: Updated to NVIDIA 581.95 and enabled "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" in Windows.
2. Environment: Added CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES = 0 to System Variables.
3. Services: Restarted the "Materials Studio Gateway" service multiple times.
4. NVIDIA Control Panel: I set the Global Settings to "High-performance NVIDIA processor" to force the GPU for all apps, but the checkbox in Forcite Job Control is still disabled.
5. Testing: I am testing with a simple task (Dynamics) using a multitude of forcefields like pcff, cvff, Dreiding, FinnisSinclair, COMPASSIII_1.1, etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

You can see the greyed out "Use GPU" checkbox below from my screenshot:
