  • What´s wrong with my card setup?

    Posted by Peter Magnusson on August 17, 2011 at 9:28 am

    I have a Geforce 8800 GT in slot 1 and a Quadro 4000 in slot 2. When I start DaVinci I first get this Warning:
    “The display GPU is being used for processing”, then: “Attention: The following cards are being used for image processing: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT”.

    Whats is wrong? I configured the cards according to the DaVinci setup.

    Did you connect your monitor to the Quadro ?
    I should go to the GT.

    You also need the latest Quadro drivers.

    Did you open the system profiler and look under Graphics to make sure the Q4000 is showing up in the OSX system?

    Yes, it´s there beside the GT.

    Another thing – since I installed the Quadro, the computer can´t go to sleep. The card is always running (while the rest of the computer is silent).

    [Peter Magnusson] “? I configured the cards according to the DaVinci setup”

    And there should be NO monitor connected to the Quadro.

    Just a shot in the dark, but, did you add/install the Quadro 4000 after you installed Davinci? i got weird wonky errors when i tried to swap out a 7800 for a 4500 without reinstalling.. Davinci just about spit out the cards…

    Try to download this CUDA test app.
    It will tell you if your card is actually working or not.

    I feel embarresed…

    It was the easiest solution of them all. I followed Marcs advise and reinstalled DaVinci and now everything works as it should. My computer even gets to sleep like it should.

    Thank you all!
