HI Nadir, I would expect some version of cuda 7.5 or 8.0 to offer sm_60 support ( which i presume is pascal ? ). There are some plans for falling back onto PTX when precompiled kernels do not match the requested feature-set of the available hardware. But due to the size and complexity of our kernel that needs a bit of extra work as ptxas will likely chew on those files for a non trivial time rendering blender unresponsive, which we need to handle before adding ptx fallback kernel support.
If you have the possibility of enabling us to test with a version of the cuda toolkit that can generate the needed binaries feel free to contact Thomas. Sergey or myself directly.
