Description

I'm using optix 8 with cuda 12.2. The code compiles fine but when I run any sample it gives following error
Optix call (optixInit()) failed with code 7804 (line 157)
I also tried using optix 9.1 and optix 7.7 but I'm still getting the same error. And the gpu I'm running this on is 4070 ti. I'm not sure what is it that I'm missing, because in the past the samples ran just fine with optix 8 and 7.7. Please help me get the samples running.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in one of the samples and inspect the optixInit() call that reports error 7804. Check the sample's runtime environment against the reported OptiX 7.7, 8, and 9.1 versions, CUDA 12.2, and the RTX 4070 Ti; done means the samples initialize and run successfully.
