[Wendell Davis] “Thanks Walter – actually considering moving backwards to 10.8. Happy Holidays!”

Good luck and I hope it resolves your issue.

Walter I do have that Cuda driver installed. Here is what I get when clicking on the nVidea driver in System Preferences:

It seems that the nVidea web driver is not working with Mavericks and that breaks Cuda.

I will note that even though the Quadro 4000 is not listed as officially supported it appears to work fine on Mavericks.

Older cards such as the GTX 285 and Quadro 4800 will not work with Mavericks.

Going back to 10.8.x or upgrading to Quadro 4000, K5000 or GTX 680 would be your best bet.

Best,

Thanks for the reply Peter, but I can assure you that the Quadro4000 is not working here. I have just ordered a GTX 680 to replace it.

Hi Peter,

Well your probably enjoy the performance boost with the 680 anyway but I wanted to let you know I’m successfully using the Quadro 4000 on Mavericks with the following driver:

You can also try installing this but it should not make a difference:
