new Nvidia webdrivers to accompany the new Yosemite security updates…. issue is back again. Happens after a export/transcode using CUDA.

I just installed the security updates for Yosemite, which has now made the Nvidia Webdriver not compatible (the system is now only using the OSX driver). So, beware. Haven’t seen the GFX issue yet, but I’m working on location so won’t really know until I get back in there.
Super annoying, I didn’t think a security update would cause an issue with GFX. Doh! I know better to wait until Adobe follows up with their own update.

Install the Nvidia Driver 346.02.03f02 and it should install an extension to your System Preferences. This is where you can switch between the two.

Actually, before I did the complete clean install of Yosemite, I had tried both to no avail.
I had the same issues when I first did the clean install, it lasted a day, then for some unknown reason it’s disappeared. I haven’t changed anything.
Fingers crossed it sticks.

Hold on a second, I think it just resolved itself.
So to rehash: Complete clean install of Yosemite 10.10.5. Reinstalled applications and plugins. Installed CUDA 7.0.64, and Nvidia Driver 346.02.03f02. Caused Graphics Failure. Then installed CUDA 7.5.21. Same problems.
I made sure Nvidia Web Driver is selected (Instead of the driver that came with OSX). Have’t done anything different, other than a few restarts here and there.
I’ve been working with CUDA GPU Acceleration in PPro CC 2015 (GeForce GTX 680 2GB Mac Edition), Mac Pro 5,1 12 core). Suddenly, I’m not getting the graphics glitches and failures after exporting using CUDA. I’m not sure what changed, nothing really from having issues to not having issues. But I’ve been working steadily for 3 days now and I have not had one graphics issue, as opposed to every single time I exported using CUDA.
Maybe there’s some hope. Will keep crunching over here and keep an eye on things. Will report back.

Some users have said that doing a completely clean install of Yosemite hasn’t brought them these issues.
I’d like to add that I’ve done a fresh clean install of Yosemite 10.10.5, with CUDA Driver 7.0.64 (as Peter Garaway from Adobe has stated as being stable), to no avail. I also tested it with the newer CUDA driver 7.5.2, still same issue.
My system is a Mac Pro 5,1, GeForce GTX 680 2GB for Mac, Yosemite 10.10.5, Adobe CC 2015, Nvidia driver that comes with OSX
When I export using CUDA, graphical issues. When I try to export using OpenCL, Media Encoder crashes.
No sleep for the weary.

Hi David et al,
I’ve done a fresh clean install of Yosemite 10.10.5, with CUDA Driver 7.0.64 (as Peter Garaway from Adobe has stated in another very long thread about this issue, as being stable). I also tested it with the newer CUDA driver 7.5.2, still same issue.
My system is a Mac Pro 5,1, GeForce GTX 680 2GB for Mac, Yosemite 10.10.5, Adobe CC 2015, Nvidia driver that comes with OSX, CUDA
When I export using CUDA, graphical issues. When I try to export using OpenCL, Media Encoder crashes.
No sleep for the weary.

Hello, just wanted to add that the CUDA version that Peter suggested we use did not fix the problem.
Currently GTX680 for Mac in a Mac Pro 5,1, Yosemite 10.10.5, Adobe CC 2015, CUDA v. 7.0.64, Nvidia driver v. 346.02.03f02. It happens when I’m doing exports or anything heavy with CUDA enabled. Haven’t tried OpenCL yet.
My graphics are freaking out. The only fix is to restart the system, but it will start again as soon as I do some heavy crunching with CUDA. I’m appalled this is still an issue since early 2014.
Maybe as a poster said, that El Capitan fixed the problem. I have my doubts, and I’m not updating until that OS has had it’s run time in the wild.

The festival is asking for a playable BluRay disc, and it sounds like you just tried to use the BD disc as a harddrive, and burned a disc image to it.
You have to author the BD disc for playable media, just like a DVD. Use Toast, Adobe Encore, DVD Studio Pro, etc.
To test it, you can buy a home entertainment BD player. Piece of cake. For awhile, home authored discs sometimes don’t work in specific players, but that’s becoming rarer these days. If you have to use the burner/player, there is software that you can download to playback the disc through your computer. VLC doesn’t playback BD discs.work.tulpapictures.com

Yep, 5 years later after the OP, it’s still a problem with BMD products. Just installed BMD Decklink Studio 4K into a Mac Pro 5,1 mid 2012 12-core.
I’m doing something a bit unconventional, where I’m actually not using the HDMI bracket, and instead punching a hole through the door to run an HDMI cord directly to the back of the card. Due to PCIe slots not being available. I don’t know if the HDMI cord is the problem yet, I’m testing. It’s a heavy duty shielded cable, so it shouldn’t be interfering.
I did come across this one item, made by OWC. It’s a Bluetooth shielding kit for Mac Mini 2012. The issue is that the BT reception is terrible when you use USB 3.0 products. This issue has been known, due to USB 3.0 giving off 2.4 GHz. All USB 3.0 hub manufacturers warn you about this issue. Anyways, they show you how to install the shielding on the BT module in the Mac Mini. I’m thinking of trying it on my Mac Pro. I’ll return with results.
