  • New NVIDIA driver for Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3

    Posted by Rohit Gupta on February 29, 2012 at 7:55 am

    NVIDIA has released an updated driver for Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3. It can be downloaded at:

    https://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-270.00.00f01-driver.html

    The good news is this update seems to provide CUDA support on OS X for all CUDA capable NVIDIA cards including the GTX580.

    We have tested this and it works well for Resolve on Mac OS X.

    We were using a configuration with 3 x GTX 580 on a Cubix Desktop 4 with a GT120 GUI GPU, and we could get 25 nodes of image blur processing at 24fps, or 4 nodes of noise reduction at the default settings.

    Are you saying I don’t need to hack a kext file or whatever it is, and just install a regular PC version of the GTX 580?

    We are just using the regular PC version of the GTX 580.

    Awesome! I’ll have to reconsider a Cubix over a PC then.

    I’m talking to a reseller of the Cubix Desktop 4 now. He wasn’t sure if it could fit 3 GTX 580 cards. Do you have a special model? He said it would fit 2 double width cards, and 4 single..

    The Desktop 4 has 4 double-wide slots. You can refer to our configuration guide on our website for the exact model number.

    On PC/Linux, we use 4 double-wide GPUs, but the Mac Pro is limited to a total of 4 GPUs, so one for GUI, and 3 for CUDA compute.

    Aah OK. It becomes less tempting to go the Windows route now. Can’t stand the thought leaving Mac for Windows. At least not now.

    Would I be able to install three GTX580 and a Red Rocket?

    Interesting. So, I have a 3,1 MP with the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600. I want to move this MP from FCP 7 and Color to FCP X and Resolve Lite with a side-order of Avid MC6. I would like to run on the stock PSU and be able to go to Windows on bootcamp with no issues. What should I buy?

    This is very very interesting!

    Is this officially supported now is did they just happen to make it work?

    My concern here is that Apple can quite easily pull the plug with 10.7.4

    Also doesnt help that 10.7.3 causes lots of issues

    Despite that, this is good news and hopefully we’ll see more of this

    I’m going to see what nvidia/pny have to say officially about it
