BASEHPC GPU Support - urgent question

Hi
We bought a new workstation and experience an issue with the GPU. We run a setup using Windows 11, Basement 4.2 and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 card. Our test simulation, that ran without issues on our previous workstation, does not start using the new GPU (double precision). Nothing is shown in the GUI, the progress bar jumps from 0 % to 100 % without anything happening after a few seconds. On single precision mode the simulation starts (so the card is recognised), but it's very slow (slower than CPU) and finally collapses after endless Mass Balance warnings.
We have tested using different CUDA versions (13.0 and 12.5), both with the same results.

Is there a problem with the GPU architecture (GeForce card uses "blackwell")?
Our previous card was the Quadro P2200 on Pascal architecture.

Quick help is much appreciated! Thx.

Re: BASEHPC GPU Support - urgent question

So for some odd reason the GPU is now working just fine (after the weekend) without having changed anything. Sorry for any possible inconvenience caused.
