OSX Lion 10.7.4 WARNING!!!!!

[Thomas Smet] “No problems here either. In fact I don’t really notice anything faster or slower after the update.”

Do you guys have one of the two OpenCL cards that are approved by Adobe?

[Thomas Smet]

Sure do.

17″ MBP 2.2Ghz

AMD 6750 1024MB

Works great for 30 to 60 minutes much faster then software mode then all of a sudden gpu mode plummets until I restart CS6. Software mode is flawless even if I switch to it from gpu mode after the gpu mode stops working after 30+ minutes.

You mean it literally switches after 30 minutes to software mode?

[Thomas Smet]

No I mean after about 30 to 60 minutes the gpu performance falls off a cliff and even at 1/4 res I can only get every fourth frame for playback. If I manually change to the software mode it works fine after that. I can also save my project, shut down CS6 and open my project again and the gpu acceleration will work again for another 30 to 60 minutes. At that time I can rinse and repeat. Either switch to software mode or shut down CS6 and open again.

I guess that’s why openCL is a new venture.

2 x Finalcut Studio3, 2 x Prod. bundle CS5.5, 2 x MacPro, 2 x ioHD, Ethernet File Server w. X-Raid…. and FCPX on trial

It is turned off. Didn’t make a difference.

Hi Thomas,

I wanted to let you know that we’re aware of this issue and working to resolve it. At this time we cannot commit to any timeframe.

I am curious if you have found steps to reproduce this issue or does it only occur after you your running Premiere for 30+mins?

Thanks for you feedback!

Thanks for the response.

Tonight I was able to run CS6 for well over 2 hours without the gpu mode failing. I was mostly doing cuts and some audio EQ. I was also leaving it sit there for awhile and running other apps like Chrome to see if I could kill it. The GPU kept going strong.

See this post for more info:

Let me know if there are any other tests I could try or if you need any other info.

[Peter Garaway]

Sorry I just caught your post below.

Thanks for the details. I’m glad to hear things have been going smoother for you.
