Has my support.
If you are using a 30xx you will need to make some changes not noted in the handbook. You will need to use Nvidia Driver Version 455 and CUDA Version 11.1. If you need instruction you can get help at [email protected] or you can DM me on our Discord channel. My ID is Keith aka LordVetinari#9085
