mitch_de Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 CUDA is gpu computing for Geforce (Nvidia) only and available for OS X, Linux + Win. Toast 11 (mac) for example uses CUDA(Mac) to speedup h.264 encoding. http://developer.nvi...oolkit-41#MacOS (10.6.8+ needed) For Enduser usage you only need the CUDA driver, not the SDK. Dev driver is named: devdriver_4.1.21_macos.dmg (last was 4.0.50) To check CUDA on OS X you can use CUDA-Z tool (DL at the end) which shows informations about the CUDA gpu and has small CUDA (VRAM + PCI Transfer speed) benchmark. EDIT: now 4.1.28 available, 26.01.2012 CUDA-Z.zip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_SPINELLI Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 So: Using this driver. Is it possible to allow notebooks with CUDA Powered GPUs like -> NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M, to work with native full speed and full feature, as we would have on Windows 7 for example ( Original supplied OS ) ?

mitch_de Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yes, if you have software (OS X) that uses CUDA. No, if you use software which does not use CUDA. CUDA is independed from OpenGL - doesnt give more OpenGL power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdtran1025 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 This CUDA version is not enabling the function, at least in my machine. The current version 4.05 does work, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
