CUDA on Macbook Pro Retina?
Hi guys!
From today I am the proud owner of a Macbook Pro Retina 15! Of course I would really like to use CUDA when editing in Premiere CS6. Now, I found this topic on the adobe forums where people are being warned for kernel panics when installing nvidia’s CUDA drivers.
So I’m curious: who installed this and what problems do you experience?
Cheers,
Daniel

Use Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL). That’s all you need.

The latest drivers have been very stable for me under 10.8.3, however I see better performance with OpenCL.

Thanks for the reply’s guys! Can you tell me a little bit more why you prefer OpenCL? Do you also prefer this when using After Effects?

It’s not a preference in my case, it’s that the performance of the OpenCL settings are faster than the settings with the CUDA drivers.
With AE, I believe that you’re going to have use the Cuda GPU drivers for the 3D work since without the Cuda “GeForce GT 650M” entry in the raytaracer_supported_cards.txt file, you will not get the GPU option in Previews. Also, pay very close attention to the Memory and Multiprocessing settings – with 16MB or RAM and the i7 processor, I use 5GB RAM reserved for other apps. Set CPUs reserved for other apps to 0, set RAM allocation per background CPU to 1.5GB. This will use 6 cores for your rendering.
I’ve found this to be an acceptable configuration.
HTH,
