Sep 24, 2017 at 7:59 comment added NBoss Would you be able to tell me your system specifications (other than your 750 ti) as well as your version of blender? I believe I have a final answer for you but I will require this information.
Sep 8, 2017 at 0:44 comment added Markus Bawidamann @Trance-DoarCuTine - It looks to me too like your GPU IS in fact enabled and working. This is how it looks in my Blender. How to check: Find out how many cores your CPU has, likely more than one, probably 2 or 4 or even more. When rendering with the CPU, you will notice several corner brackets around several squares (amount of cores) rendering in parallel. Call task manager (in Windows ctrl - shift and ESC), check if your CPU usage is 100% If it is down, then GPU is working. A GPU only gives you one Square rendering at the same time with brackets on the corners, that is a sure way to tell.

Jul 31, 2017 at 1:04 comment added tacofisher I know im a bit late for this, but I remember in older version of blender one had to change the feature set from "Supported" to "Experimental" to get GPU rendering to work. (Render tab, above "Device")
Jul 30, 2017 at 20:37 comment added bertmoog @Trance-DoarCuTine - Wow. Wasn't saying you were color blind, I was wondering if the button was actually working because you said "I simply cannot select it."
Jul 30, 2017 at 20:33 comment added Trance - Doar Cu Tine @bertmoog. Thank you bertmoog for response. I am pretty sure I'm not colorblind so I can distinguish between selected, non-selected and disabled option. This is how it looks when it is not selected, this is how looks when selected and this is how it should look (the last screenshot is from another PC). I think the problem is more serious than it looks. Anyway thanks for trying to help, I appreciate that.
Jul 30, 2017 at 20:17 comment added bertmoog @Trance-DoarCuTine - In your first screenshot, it looks like the 750ti is selected. Are you able to toggle it on and off (dark to light gray)? Also, the frequency error is simply related to audio and it's normal.

Jul 30, 2017 at 18:56 comment added Trance - Doar Cu Tine @m.ardito. I did what you said. I added more explanation to the question. Also, here is the screenshot of blender launched from command line, here is the image: here

Jul 30, 2017 at 16:57 comment added m.ardito You could check in logs (expand the top "info" editor to see them, or launch blender from the command line, or activate the console (hidden by default). Also depending on specific GPU there could be some vendor tool to monitor usage. Finally, on some systems (eg Nvidia optimus) the OS can decide/force which card enable for specific programs, so belnder could perhaps detect it but as "disabled"...?
Jul 30, 2017 at 16:33 comment added Trance - Doar Cu Tine @m.ardito. It will be good to delete all irrelevant comments, I deleted mine comments first, but I cannot delete every comment here which is not mine. I added answer to the question as edit 2

Jul 30, 2017 at 16:27 comment added m.ardito @Trance - Doar Cu Tine back to topic, I cannot replicate your setup, but perhaps you could describe how you know that GPU is not used. Render times are still high?
Jul 30, 2017 at 16:24 comment added m.ardito @Trance - Doar Cu Tine yes, I had to try, because it's not the first time that someone says something like that... I wanted to be sure, and maybe ask a policy change to allow it... before, I tried searching amongst BSE help system, but didn't find anything... and in that question I just expected to be able to delete it, but after posting it I couldn't. The "someone" was Tooniis, as you see above...
Jul 30, 2017 at 16:15 comment added Mr Zak @Tooniis the restriction was removed on some sites a while ago, this one including. It should be possible

Jul 30, 2017 at 15:44 comment added Tooniis @Trance-DoarCuTine python is a programming language used for scripting in blender. This question has nothing to do with scripts (so also nothing to do with python)so you should remove both the scripting and the python tags. The suggested tags are not always related to your question. After all it is not a human who suggests these tags so the failure rate is high.

Jul 30, 2017 at 15:32 comment added Tooniis @m.ardito he cannot use the editor image tool because he has 1 reputation.
Jul 30, 2017 at 15:29 comment added m.ardito Hi, sorry, what "python" and "scripting" tags have to do with this? Also, you should add images using the editor "image tool" so that they are also visible here... Then, it's not clear if you can or cannot select the gpu setting. You say: " the problem is because I simply cannot select it." then "Also, I can select it, but nothing happens"... ? Finally, add the blender version.
