I've got Lion (10.7.2) running great on my machine. I'm using a Galaxy GTX 470 and it seems to work fine with Graphics Enabler set to "yes" in Chameleon.

 

What I've noticed though is that DaVinci Resolve does not see this card as a CUDA card.

 

CUDA-Z and the Adobe apps seem to see it as a CUDA card, but Resolve does not. Does anyone have any idea on why this might be the case? (I've seen a number of people recommend this card as a compatible CUDA card that works in Resolve).

 

Would switching to an EFI injection method work better? If so, where would I find the EFI string for this card?

 

 

Thanks

Changing injection method will not make any difference.

 

Like Adobe's Mercury Engine, Resolve probably only enables CUDA if it recognizes your video card based on some internal list. If this is the case, your card is not on that list because there is no GTX 470 for Mac.

 

What model identifier are you using? The software could be locked to Mac Pro model identifiers for example.

Supposedly the GTX470 works. Several people have systems running with it, and there is a Mac Flashed version that you can buy that works as well from what I understand.

 

My Mac Pro model number is listed as: 3,1.

 

Would changing that to 4,1 or 5,1 help?

Okay so I tried to change my System Identifier (and SMBoardID) to both 4,1 and 5,1 and both times the machine wouldn't boot up. I got:

 

NVDAGF100HAL loaded and registered

No interval found for . Using 8000000

panic...(and then a bunch of backtrace info).

 

 

I had to go back to 3,1 to boot up. Does this have something to do with AppleGraphicsPowerManagement,kext?

 

I'd like to see if changing it to 4,1 or 5,1 would help my CUDA issues.
