[FecsoMAC]

I have Quadro 4000 MAC card on Lion 10.7.4. I installed the new nvidia driver(Retail_270.00.00f06.dmg), and I can't enable openCL.
I modified GeForceGLDriver and libclh.dylib. After restart I get slow motion in system.

I modified these files in apple driver, and everything was good, I could use OpenCL, but now with nvidia, it isn't working.
(In the new nvidia driver I didn't find in info.plist of NVDAGF100Hal.kext the IOPCIPrimaryMatch)

Any idea?
Thx

just installed 10.8 dp4 and opencl now works ootb on non-gf100/gf110 cards, so this fix is no longer required

I had to patch to get OceanWave working on my 460 GTX.

[Klonkrieger2]

Riley Freeman: Which files did you patch? i could only patch the libclh.dylib file. in GeForceGLDriver i couldn't find the right hex-code. So for me (quadro 5000) opencl is still not working

[Riley Freeman]

Just libclh.dylib as I'm on ML DP4. The GeForceGLDriver patch is only for Lion.

[Klonkrieger2]

could you please upload your file? i don't know why mine's not working...

[Riley Freeman]

Here it is. http://ge.tt/5RPfQGJ/v/0?c

It's the whole GeForceGLDriver.bundle just in case you didn't keep a backup of the original file before editing. The libclh.dylib is patched.

I also included the script I use to patch the file. I just double-click it and it puts a backup copy of libclh.dylib on my desktop and then patches the original file.

[Klonkrieger2]

thank's man! But this didn't work for me too Still no working opencl. even upgrading to the new ML build changed anything. Any Suggestions about that?

[Riley Freeman]

No ideas, it just worked for me

[ugokind]

confirm !

not required in DP4
my 460m gtx is rinning perfectly no freeze

[Riley Freeman]

Have you tested with OceanWave? I usually run it after a fresh install and it always says patching is needed.

This is patch only applies to video cards using the MBP2012 drivers to see cards with more than 2GB RAM.

[Klonkrieger2]

That's just wrong...re-read the text and watch for "ML" "mountain lion" "ML GM" etc.

From the Netkas site:

Enabling OpenCL on 10.7.5/mbp2012 drivers and ML GM

July 11th 2012 Posted to Apple,Lion,Mountain Lion,Nvidia

10.7.5/mbp2012 drivers run opencl on Fermi just fine out of box, no more need to enable it binpatching, but..
If you have a card with more than 2 gb of video memory, opencl suddenly gets disabled, wtf?
Here is why: (warning, assembler skills needed for the pic)

basicaly, if your video ram amount > 2GB by at least 1 byte, then you are screwed.
Funny Apple, they decided to control it themselves instead of putting check in the nvidia driver.
But, we can just disable the check and enjoy. End Quote!

Exactly what I said. This is a patch to enable cards that COULD normally have OpenCL support, but don't Because they have memory greater than 2GB. This is not a generic OpenCL patch.

[Klonkrieger2]

"This is patch only applies to video cards using the MBP2012 drivers to see cards with more than 2GB RAM."

MPB2012 drivers != Mountain Lion

but let's stop this stupid argument....

Thanks mate that's works for me .. 560Ti and MLGM

Hi i have a lenovo g460 running 10.8 having following configuration:
Intel core i5 520m

I have succcessfully installed 10.8 and also booted up without any problems but the system hangs after a couple of minutes after boot. I can move the mouse but everything else is frozen. In the system log i get this:

How do i solve this?? In 0.7.4 the gpu worked just fine. Thanks in advance.

[rfwagner]

Hello to all, i want to make a request for anyone that have Final Cut Pro X installed, and is using this kind of video card, if the OPENCL ativated by this method is used by the FCPX for rendering video, because some people reported that especialy in FCP the GPU is not activated to render, just the CPU, and after make this procedure.
Can someone please test and post here?

I know that some guys post in tonymac forum that they can see what i wrote, with a system temperatu monitor, the gpu temp stay the same after some time in rendering, only the cpu temp raises, reaching the conclusion that the OPENCL activated did not work for Final Cut.

Sincerely thanks since now.

[robertx]

seems that i need this fix again(or a new fix?)
after using these drivers http://www.nvidia.co...f20-driver.html  running 10.8.1, OpenCLOceanWave errors again...
