Cannot create gpu context Arnold Maya 2019 GPU

Hello, I am trying to test the GPU render with a new PC at work equipped with a Nvidia Tesla M60 all up to date. THe problem is , right when I launch the render, I get this message : "Cannot create gpu context" and then the render cancels. Do you guys know why does it do this? And how to fix it? Thanks !

Usually there is more to the error message. Can you post the Arnold log?
(which will also show what driver you have)

What happens if you run Arnold > Utilities > Pre-populate GPU Cache?

Hi, this appears to be a known issue with the Windows Tesla driver. Nvidia is working on a fix and workaround. Older tesla drivers will apparently not work. While this isn't officially supported and I haven't tested it, you might be able to install a geforce or quadro driver as a workaround.

Is that safe to do? Instal other drivers?
