RaMDaY Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm thinking of trying it out on my desktop but I'm worried it may mess up my system. What do you guys think? http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-3.1-driver.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 CUDA cant mess up your system (normally) because its independend from the othet things. Needs CUDA App to get "in action". Without any CUDA App running the system "doesnt see" + doesnt use the CUDA drivers (+ dev tools installed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaMDaY Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 I went ahead and installed it. So for it hasn't seemed to cause any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3signr Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Same here, running CUDA Driver Version: 3.1.10 for distributed computing platform. Works like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdtran1025 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I am not sure what general apps take advantage of CUDA. I use Handbrake to transcode all my Bluray to mp4 and it used to tax my Q9550 to the max(all CPUs showing 100%) and I couldn't play another movie smoothly with HB running. Now with CUDA installed the process of HB still takes 100% of all CPU cycles but a strange good thing happens- when I play a movie, the picture looks so smooth as if HB is not even running. The CPUs still shows 100% but that does not even bother VLC a bit. I can't wait for a future HB release that can take advantage of CUDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
