TESTED: MacBook Pro Retina w/650M – WORKS!
Just a quick note to say I’ve now tested the MBP with Retina display running Resolve Lite (oops wrong forum 😉 )
{ALL OF THIS IS WRONG}
while resolve does seem to recognize the card as “1 GPU” on the splash screen. It also prompts that it’s connected to the screen and crashes on import of footage. Seems like this will require an update from BMD, but hopefully they can pull the same magic with this as they did with previous gen 17″ and allow the 650M to drive CUDA, while the integrated GPU drives GUI.
{TO HERE}UPDATE: Turned off “automatic graphics switching” and while i still get prompted as having an error, Resolve now seems to work and I’m getting 25fps a simple correct. This isn’t a full version but will install that and try standard candle later.
BUT IT WORKS!!!!!!!!
The resolution change on the retina display to 1920×1080 works really well at displaying the whole Resolve interface.
Preliminary test of CUDA performance in AE of the 650M puts it way behind 480 but possibly ahead of the Q4000… however this test is of just CUDA processing and may not be indicative of Resolve performance, if/when we get actual support.
Additionally, generally v1 of new graphic drivers from Apple tend to be very weak.
So grain of salt all around.

Standard Candle Test result:
2 nodes = 22
4 nodes =13
6 nodes = 10
12 nodes = 5
NR 4 = 8
NR 3 = 5
NR 2 = 2
NR 1 = 1Like a talking dog.. it’s amazing it can happen at all. 😉
There could probably be a lot done to optimize performance. Looking forward to seeing if there is some mention of this model in the DaVinci config guide.

Which CPU is this, and with how much RAM?
Also, instead of changing the screen resolution, have you tried just changing the setting for opening the app in high resolution in the application Info window? Does that work?

2.3Ghz/8gb RAM. Don’t think it’s a factor though. Resolve only uses CPU for decoding media (Standard Candle test has no media) and RAM is useful for loading lots of media, large images (again not the case in standard candle) so I wouldn’t expect much more from different configs on the standard candle test.

Where do I get the candle test from?

from the internet 😉

“The resolution change on the retina display to 1920×1080 works really well at displaying the whole Resolve interface.”
What steps did you take to Make this change.
I ask because. The option for this kind of change does not exist in the Display setting on the MBPr.
You are simply given Best (Retina) and to steps above and two beneath.I chose the option just above. And yes, This option does display the entire program on the screen. However. After rebooting the computer. And opening resolve I receive this error:
Chassis 1: GPU CONFIG ERROR: No CUDA Boards available
However. If I open the program with the Best (Retina) option. I simply get the warning that:
Resolve Has Determined that the hardware configuration you are using is not optimal and so performance may be limited.
THe Following unsupported cards are being used for image processing:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650MSo, if you were able to get around these errors and warnings it would be helpful if you could expound on this.
Thank you,

I’m sorry I did not include that step. Yes I did already take that step.
These symptoms are from after that step was taken.
So I take it you did not experience these same issues.
Please let me know if you suffered from one or both of these issues. If neither, WIERD. If One of them. Which one?
Thanks,
SteveB
