myrorym Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for the tips. Check out the "Getting Started Guide for OSX". It is on the nvidia links under documentation. GTX470: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pachulero Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 GTX470 Evga how can i download the last driver version? I've got 1.6.23.0(256.01.00f03) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 The newer one is within 10.6.7. But Fermi users may need their special (Quadro Mac) driver, so your OpenGL driver version maybe different to non fermi users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@dMac Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 hi, dunno if anyone noticed but you'll get a "File not found." if you just go ahead and click on the Developer Drivers for MacOS download link, it tries to go to http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compu....0.14_macos.dmg while it seems it doesn't actually exist, I mean, the update does exists but as a download available after you install 4.0.13 and then update to 4.0.14 trough System preferences... don't beleive it? go ahead and click here to download 4.0.13 then after installed open the pref panel and click update... it'll pull 4.0.14 from god-knows-where and start the setup wizard ... THEN you'll have 4.0.14... how bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Lions DP 2 has problem with Cuda driver thinks too.. May NOT lie by the Nvidia drivers. At least that CUDA-Z has an Problem. Other Cuda Apps may work with no problem. You can test for example bandwithtest (its CUDA code). I added some CUDA libs - you may need start terminal first / to cd into that folder / drag& drop the bandwithtest + ENTER first and not only double click it to run.

mitch_de Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks! Also i looked a lot in the CUDA API about that Clock MHz. The CUDA does read out gpu MHZ same way as OpenCL: Peak MHZ, not the chaning actual MHz. So MHZ shown are always fixed and not showing gpu powermanaged MHz.

Flashe Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hello too all, The application asks me to do an update when I have the latest driver 4.0.17 with Mac OS X 10.7 (11A494a). This problem since the update 11A480e to 11A494a.Why ? Someone one knows the reason for this problem. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Nope, i think Nvidia CUDA Prefpane simple didnt now the newest LION build and therefore it says "update". For my knowledge there are no newer CUDA drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrorym Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 This problem since the update 11A480e to 11A494a.Why ? Someone one knows the reason for this problem. Following n et k a s, I think there is a solution for you. Check this This update brings opencl support for fermi to Snow Leopard and breaks cuda To get CUDA back, execute this command in terminal: cp /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.01.10.dylib /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.02.05.dylib CUDA needs a libcuda_270.05.05.dylib in this directory. try to copy cudaframework for previous Lion gfx driver... look in directory to see what CUDA put there. sub that for the 270.xx.xx. I not sure, not at CUDA driven pc atm, but this should work cp /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_270.xx.xx.dylib /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_270.05.05.dylib I haven't done LION yet, but I imagine this is what CUDA is looking for.

Flashe Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi myrorym, I did not understand your explain to me.I made a copy / paste in terminal ? cp /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.01.10.dylib /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.02.05.dylib Can you give me 270.05.05.dylib please so with this file removes the message.Because I have no file in this folder.

myrorym Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 cp /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_270.05.00.dylib /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_270.05.05.dylib Yes that is it. You are just copying a previous version of the file to create a new file, one that matches your current video driver. CUDA update 4.0.17 was before latest LION DP update. CUDA looks for dylib file matching version of your video driver. This creates that file by copying previous version. I put xx.xx because I wasn't sure what would be in your folder.

Flashe Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ok, The problem is still the same with that file, this message still appears. As the photo top . Salut Flashe to disable naggy startup cuda message you can delete file /Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist Voilà voilou Salut mamadou, Le problème reste le meme avec ta méthode aucun changement ainsi que les autres à la suite de mon méssage.

myrorym Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ok, The problem is still the same with that file, this message still appears. Not sure then. Can you use CUDA successfully? If so, the warning would appear cosmetic. I still 10.6.7 so I can't really test, but the command should make CUDA usable if it hadn't worked previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yep - or simple remove the prefpane CUDA - its useless (mostly). The update function often fails and this is the only usage of that prefpane. CUDA works complete independed of that prefpane ! To remove that right click on that CUDA prefpane (system settings) and then click on the remove... You can always get here the newest CUDA (win/os x / linux) http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carstiman Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 hello, what is the solution this time for the new driver 256.02.25f1v1 in 10.6.8 ? i used: cp /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.01.10.dylib /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.02.25.dylib but it wont work. for the last 256.02.05f01 driver: cp /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.01.10.dylib /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libcuda_256.02.05.dylib worked. thx in advane ps: could i add a cuda 3.2 lib too that i could use boinc collatz cuda 3.2 apps ?
