Hi,

Anyone have any troubles with a Quadro FX 4500 on Snow Leopard..

Installed the latest Cuda Drivers.. Installed without a hitch..

Installed the Octane Demo, which I'm very excited to try...

Octane says "No Cuda Compatible Devices found.. "

Also, I noticed in my Graphics Profile that the VRAM is showing 0, when it should be 512mb..

ANY Help would be appreciated..

Apple and Nvidia aren't providing any information...

Thanks,
Oliver :)

unfortunately I think the answer is quite easy: Quadro FX 4500 doesn't support CUDA (it should be based on a 7xxx series chip AFAIK).
