    Anyone having trouble with the Quadro 4000? Resolve runs fine with the normal ATI 5870 I use. Also OK with the original GT120.

    When I put the 4000 in Slot 1 as the only GPU card, Resolve see no CUDA cards and exits. Otherwise the card seems to be working with other apps, although Premiere Pro also does not see any CUDA and therefore doesn’t enable any hardware acceleration. When I use the 4000 as the second GPU together with the 120, Resolve sees no CUDA card, but lets me continue without exiting. I am using the recommended 4.0.19 driver and the PCIe aux power is connected.

    I have had an FX4800 in here in the past for some Premiere Pro CS5 testing and back then CUDA did kick in just fine for hardware acceleration.

    MacPro 4.1 2.26GHz 8-core. 12GB RAM. OS 10.6.8. Resolve 8.1.

    You need to go to the Nvidia Drivers Download web site, and download and install the 4000 driver for OS X 10.6.8, which will be the 256.02.25f01 driver (the last time I checked).

    Also make sure you have the Aux Power connector connected to the 4000 card. Lacking that will also cause the card to not be recognized.

    [Dwaine Maggart] “You need to go to the Nvidia Drivers Download web site”

    Thanks, but when you go to the page for that driver it says:

    ” CUDA Application Support:
    In order to run Mac OS X Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of the Quadro 4000 for Mac product, users will need to download and install the CUDA 4.x driver for Mac located here. ”

    The link is to the 4.0.19 driver which I installed. That’s also the driver in your config guide. What is the difference? The version you listed seems to be the non-CUDA version. And yes, the aux power plug is plugged in.

    This is the link to the download page. You need to download and install the 256.02.25f01 driver at this page. This is not the same as the CUDA driver, of which 4.0.19 is what we currently recommend you use. You need BOTH of these installed.

    Thanks. That did the trick. A rather critical pice of information that isn’t all that clear in the config guide. Thanks again for your help. Problem solved.
