Anybody successfully updated CUDA driver on Mountain Lion with GTX 570 card?

[Yukihide Takanobu]

I saw same problem, I could not finished install CUDA driver.
I think this problem is kextcache problem.
some wrong kext happen prevent making kextcache. (my problem by sonnet eSATA kext driver)
and can’t finish install.
it’s “kextcache 71” error.

in Terminal, type

kextcache -e

if same wrong kext in there, show list up.
remove those kext,will be finished CUDA install.
maybe it’s not gtx570 problem , it’s kext install problem.

sorry for broken English

thinks,

My problem was that I got on the wrong path and was trying to install CUDA Developer Tools, not just the drivers. My fault.

I am running Mountain Lion and once I downloaded the latest (1) NVIDIA driver and (2) CUDA driver, these installed without a problem. You need both.

I am not familiar with the problem you mentioned, sorry.

Hey Michael

great to hear that you got everything working.

Michael,
I am running a GTX570 on Lion 10.7.5 (not Mountain Lion).
Where did you find the latest NVIDIA driver? I know where to download the CUDA drivers. (Currently running 5.0.36 – Lion compatible)

I am trouble shooting some performance issues and want to rule out the NVIDIA driver as the culprit.

This is for Mountain Lion.

I’m having lots of problems with a GTX 570. It seems to work fine in Premiere Pro, but in After Effects my system works for a bit and then hangs.

I’m running 10.8.2, GTX570 Palit Sonic Platinum, Mac Pro 5,1.

Weirdly, the first thing to go is my Wacom tablet, which stops working, seconds later the mouse pointer won’t move and then alt-cmd-esc becomes non functional.

I have installed latest CUDA drivers and latest NVIDIA drivers from web but no dice.

This is really frustrating, thinking of sending the card back.

Any ideas? The Palit card is slightly overclocked but with a TDP of 220 should be fine.

PLEASE HELP!

Many thanks

🙁

Juan might know better than me, but I’ve seen references to an Open CL “fix” for the nVidia cards. AE seems to run fine with my 570 on my 4,1 Mac Pro, so i never looked into this fix

Hey thanks – think the open cl fix for cards with more 2gb of VRAM (note more than is like 2.5gb not 2048mb.

I’m going to try a 660ti which is only 150 watts – will let you guys know…

I have been having some problems with the Macvidcard’s GTX 570 (2.5GB RAM) with Premiere Pro. It took me a while to see and diagnose the problem, so I’m wondering if you have my problem also.

Basically any keyed layers in PPro and a fade up or down (dissolve) is messed up. Simply put some white text over video and put a 10 frame fade up on it. That would mean the transition would be in 10% increments. Instead I get a pop on the first frame of 38% and a fade up to 100% from there. the opposite happens on fade outs, fade to blacks, etc. If you push the background video off to one side, so the graphics is over part black and part video, the difference is quite visible.

When I turn the GPU off in Projects Settings, the problem goes away, except you have to export your final project in the timeline format, and use preview renders, or else the new renders on export will be screwed up also. This problem has been repeatable in other editing rooms with the same card.

Unfortunately, I didn’t notice the problem until after the 60 day return policy. Do you have the same situation that I have? If not, then maybe there is a cure, so far I and some others haven’t found it.

Thanks much,
Jim
