I have a very similar setup, and I’m not having any issues with v10.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

So the strangest thing just happened: problem is “magically” gone. Will try to describe so it may help anyone, but I doubt it since I can’t figure what happened for the problem to disappear.

After many (MANY) boots, PRAM and SMC resets, setting the software for using less resources (8 bits, no gui update, etc.), uninstalling v10 and reinstalling v9 -and doing the same with many versions of the CUDA drivers, nothing would work, so I ended up installing v9 back again, which used to work well, but with the latest CUDA driver this time (5.5.28 – I tried 5.5.25 but it did not work properly for me). But I was still getting the same errors of of “GPU memory full” where used to be none when I was running v9 with some older 5.0 CUDA driver.

So I gave up and went to sleep (just me – I never turn off my Mac Pro, neither put it to sleep). And I woke up this morning, ran v9 again… and noticed the “Insufficient Hardware” warning was gone after the login screen. So I opened my last session and everything was fine again. As I did the ultimate mistake of saving the session when I installed v10, I could not open in in v9, so I was brave (or stupid) enough to, after all of this, reinstall v10 over v9, with the strong belief that since the CUDA / GPU memory errors were gone, it would work. And it did.

So far everything back to normal. But as I said, cannot figure what happened after I went to bed… the TI fairy, maybe? 😀

Hi John,

I got rid of the problem by uninstalling the NVidia CUDA driver and reinstalling a previous version. I’d suggest you to check if you are running the recommended CUDA driver version (which varies depending on your OSX version), and even if you are, uninstalling in and reinstalling again, or maybe a previous different version. It worked for me. I am running 10.8.4 and CUDA 5.5.28 on a GTX570

Best,

Pedro

I have actually ever run 9 on this machine. Only 10. Ill look up the info on CUDA Drivers. It was working fine a month ago. Ive since installed Cloud. That is the only change

LIke I said it all worked fine until I installed cloud

Updated CUDA. Solved the problem for me.

I solved it, the problem is the playback, it’s trying to play the sequence “RAW” in 16 bits/sec, and if you have a 2k file or above, it’s a recipe for a good crash, so heres what I did, in the project settings I changed the playback from 2k- 16bit/sec to way below the 480i, since this is just for monitoring I sent it to just NTSC 16×9, and the workflow is very smooth, similar to how you would treat EDL’s when dealing with laaarge formats, you edit on low res for good playback and render in high res.
