No Cuda issues whatsoever with Yosemite

[Michael Belanger]

OK David so you are not working on CC 2014. I did the same as you and took a fresh drive and installed Yosemite and all the Adobe Cloud stuff mostly because Adobe basically send out an email indicating they are pretty much only supporting the new OS version … I think from 10.9 up… cannot recall exactly. Plus FCP X needs the newer OS and I don’t think you can find Mavericks if you are on 10.8… so you pretty much have to upgrade to Yosemite.
In all honesty I did find the software pretty buggy and had it give me a “SERIOUS ERROR” message many many times. Now when I launch my PRPro app and start a new project my options include Cuda and CL as options and generally that has worked relatively well but I do get some steppiness on busier sections. I am using an Nvidia QUADRO 4000… not sure how that compares to your GTX 680…likely the GTX has more “cuda cores” dunno

I might add that there is a real bug that I discovered… perhaps others do know about this….I found that if I faded on a graphic … a jpg still for example let’s say a picture of some sort….. if you fade that on and use an opacity setting of lower than 100 .. a half mix or superimpose if you will…. I found that when you rendered that out you got a noticeable blip in video level for that still… It would not fade up smoothly but hiccup at the top of the fade. My work around was to do a manual fade up using opacity keyframes… This only was an issue if the still was not full opacity. But this is a real pain. Not sure if this is related to the video card during play out or render out or just a software bug but it is entirely reproducible for sure.

Hi, David
I dis a clean install of Yosemite but I still have the problems with CUDA. It seems to be better now with the updates but I still have occasionally graphics glitches and Premiere is not 100% stable.

Hi Michael,

Actually, I am on CC 2014.2 – 8.2.0 (65) Build – the latest ver of CC 2014.

I’ll try that here to see what I get… But, the BIGGER issue reported here with Cuda was that people were getting totally funky video playback.

Yeah no issues playing stuff back for me…. a bit stuttery at times but it is only a quadro 4000. So do you have the GTX 680 with 2 gig vram or supposedly there is a 4 gig vram…

Hi David et al,

I’ve done a fresh clean install of Yosemite 10.10.5, with CUDA Driver 7.0.64 (as Peter Garaway from Adobe has stated in another very long thread about this issue, as being stable). I also tested it with the newer CUDA driver 7.5.2, still same issue.

My system is a Mac Pro 5,1, GeForce GTX 680 2GB for Mac, Yosemite 10.10.5, Adobe CC 2015, Nvidia driver that comes with OSX, CUDA

When I export using CUDA, graphical issues. When I try to export using OpenCL, Media Encoder crashes.

No sleep for the weary.
