GPU not showing up in Blender? Just installed Zorin OS (a Linux distrubution) and installed Blender. I am running this Linux alongside Windows 10. So I go to the system tab in Blender and see that my GPU is not listed!



Why is my Nvidia GTX 1050 not showing up in the system tab? Also Blender is super laggy for some reason, could it be connected?
You need to install nvidia-cuda-toolkit because blender uses this toolkit in order to drive your nvidia card.

apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit


You should also make sure that your nvidia card is cuda compatible.
