Resolve Lite 8.1.1 Reports No OpenCL Acceleration

[Joseph Owens]

Is your 2008 MacPro on the officially supported list? Seems it may more than likely be a fimware (BIOS-like) issue if it doesn’t find OpenCL.

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

Machine is supported.

I was having a similar problem and I found this online after some Googling…

Type this in Preferences/Debug

LsManager.3.NumGPUs = 1
LsManager.3.GPUMapping = 0
LsManager.3.GPUMappingEnable = 1

I don’t know what this really does and what the ramifications are…but it got rid of the warning and everything worked at reasonable speed.

Just using Resolve for training though. I make no promises about the fix and its usability in a real world scenario.

Contact BMD for any advice. It appears, under certain conditions, Resolve can not get the graphics card detection right.

Thanks, John.

That actually did it!

The case here was the MacPro misidentifying the Quadro 4000 card. Dwaine helped narrow this down, and I appreciate the time he took considering this is a free app!

So with that debug fix, no errors reported and no crashing.

Isn’t the internet wonderful?
