Mavericks OSX 10.9 Upgrade Issue with CUDA 5.5.28 in Davinci Resolve 10

[Mel Matsuoka]

All you need to do is boot your system from the cloned backup that you made of your Mountain Lion partition (or whatever OS version you were running before Mavericks), and you should have your “color grading back” without any hassle. Just reboot your system, then hold down the Option key when the startup chime sounds, then choose a non-Mavericks partition to boot your computer from.

You DID clone your system partition before upgrading to Mavericks, right?

If the answer is “no”, then why in god’s name are you upgrading your working system to a new OS on the very first day of its release? GPU related stuff is always among the first things to break in every OS update.

I just know about video/camera/entertainment stuff..
Seems to me like there is another level of GPU/partition/software stuff that I don’t know about..
I appreciate you responding though

……. Why is the new Mac Pro taking so long December is too far away now lol

What GPU are you using?

Are you using the NVIDIA Web Driver by any chance or the OSX provided driver?

[Lito Lorenzo]

on my Mac Pro (which i use Davinci Resolve)
I go to System Preferences
Then I click on CUDA tab

it says:

CUDA Driver Version: 5.5.28

GPU Driver Version: 8.18.27 310.40.05f01

……………

its funny because on my Macbook Pro

it says:

CUDA Driver Version: 5.5.28

GPU Driver Version: No version found

……………

i just dont understand

and the “No CUDA Acceleration Hardware Detected!” message did not pop up my Macbook Pro but it still popped up on the Mac Pro.

Both my Mac Pro & Macbook Pro are on Mavericks OSX….. I upgraded both of them at the same time…

Anyways… What gives?!

Why does “the message” pop up on my Mac Pro & not my Macbook Pro?

I tried just pressing “OK” to “the message” on my Mac Pro, but Davinci Resolve just disappears when i click on certain buttons…

Forget the message….
You will have no performance anyway…
Go back to ML if you need to work with clients or wait it out like I do right now.
The ball is in the field of nVIdia right now and I expect either a new driver or new CUDA extensions to pop up soon.
They know…Autodesk made it very clear and very public.

PS : I am actually waiting for BMD to issue a similar warning.

A slice of color…

You didn’t mention which GPU but my guess is you are using a GTX 285 which has no CUDA support at this point in Mavericks.

[Lito Lorenzo]

if GPU is Graphics then I have

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB

[Lito Lorenzo]

okay so i downloaded this thing from another forum…

its called

NVD-Kext-Mavericks-DP8.zip

it contained 6 files that all end with kext

where would i put them

i assume somewhere in my library folder…

i will keep looking

So just to confirm for the thread, we’ve tested the GTX285 for Mac and the GT8800 for Mac and the GT120 for Mac. None of these cards are recognized as CUDA cards under Mavericks, so none of these cards can be used as Resolve GPU cards under Mavericks. The GT120 can be used as a GUI card.

We don’t have an FX4800 card here to test, so not sure about that. Be curious if anyone had one they could test.

And also, since this is a Mavericks thread, you must use Resolve 9.1.6 or later, or V10 Beta 3 or later with Mavericks. Earlier versions will not run under Mavericks.

So does anyone know when GT8800 will work under Mavericks? How long would we have to wait? Or will it work at all??… Does NVIDIA even know/care?

got work to do asap is all…

thanks for responding..
