The iMac 2012 hardware and Premiere CS6 functionality??
Hi everyone,
I realize the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with the new iMac 2012 is not “officially” supported yet for PPCS6(version 6.0.2), but, I’ve tried this very popular “hack” anyway to see what would happen.
My old 2010 with the ATI Radeon HD 5750 worked just fine with the Open CL list change to the PP text file. My new replacement iMac is the “cool” 2012 (i7, 32GB OWC ram) and comes with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX. The program runs well initially with the CUDA support text file hack, then crashes. I’ve done several re-installs of PP, then updated to 6.0.1, then 6.0.2, then the hack…same result. Only when I don’t do the hack is PP stable. I’m not sure if it’s PP or the OS…any ideas out there?
I know, “just don’t attepmt to do it in the first place”. Adobe doesn’t support it, I know. But I feel like CUDA should at least be able to work with such a card?? I’ve made a request to Adobe to make it so…but who knows when they’ll get around to solving this. I’m guessingt the CC backlash may be occupying most of there time lately, instead of dealing with the old CS6.
I’m going crazy trying to figure this out. I can’t be the only one…

I’ve been running CS6 on my three year old iMac well over a year. It’s the same one I tested CC on during the sneak peek. Forget the hack, just wait for CC to release and you’ll see a huge performance increase on your iMac.

Thanks Walter,
That’ll be great when all involved on a documentary project I’m working on updgrade to CC. In the meantime ummm…CS6 support please. Haha… I’m sure I’ll be one of many needing to work legacy PPCS6 projects for the next little while until the CC dust settles a bit.

Been running CS6 with a FW800 8TB RAID attached to my iMac for the past year. No problems other than being a bit slow since no nVidia card in there, but totally functional. Have cut multiple television pitches on there and a bunch of other stuff.
Works fine, certainly not as fast as our new iMacs or the Mac Pros, but it works. Much faster than with FCP 7 that’s for sure.

Thanks Walter.
Sooooo…does anyone have any suggestions to the problem from my original post?
Much love.

My 2012 imac works fine with the hack. I’ve got it set to CUDA, not OpenCL. My mid 2011 iMac reacted just as you’re explaining. It would work for a few minutes, but then I’d realize it was bogging down and soon would freeze or crash. However it worked just great without the OpenCL or CUDA suppot.
From what I’ve read, you want to use CUDA if you can. It supports more functions than OpenCL.

Thanks Bret!
I had it set with ONLY the CUDA hack. I’ll give it another whirl. Is your 2012 imac maxed out in RAM? OWC or stock Mac? I’ll give it another whirl…What was your hack method? I even tried taking the text file out all together. No dice. Still freezing…
