Can I use blender with Azure Nvidia K80 to render using GPU I am using the K80 Nvidia series on Microsoft Azure and when I try to detect available devices using the script on this thread:

How do I get Cycles to use GPU on a linux server?

I get the following output - I am using Blender 2.78

GPU compute configuration:
Property             Value                Possible Values
Device Type:         NONE                 ['NONE']
Device:              CPU                  ['CPU']


It seems as though blender is not detecting the GPU - is there a way to force this or is it just a compatibility issue?
The problem I was facing was caused by the fact that I hadn't followed the correct setup steps:

1) Use the latest LTS Ubuntu image (16.04) - I was using 14.04

2) Install the correct drivers
