Hi everybody
The macbookpro i5 & i7, got 2 graphics devices: The intel chipset and a nvidia 330m.
But only the nvidia is working with Cuda.
To force the nvidia, you have just to run a OpenGL application, like Sketchup, before to run Octane.
Run Skethup (or other openGL application)
Run Octane
That's work pretty well for me.
Macbook pro i5- i7 "no Cuda Capable Devices Found, Exiting."

I'm considering switching my entire system over to a Mac Book Pro. Even using Rhino OSX. I'm considering Octane as my render program of choice.
Can anyone offer up any suggestions, warnings, advice?
Thanks in advance!

What do you think about running Windows on a Mac book pro? Would octane run better? I guess I just don't want to believe I can't run octane on a Mac book pro.

I spent a few hours today at the Apple store and went as far as to download Rhino and Octane on a MacBook Pro i7. Rhino installed and ran rather well. Very similar to Rhino 4 for Windows. Octane had install problems and would not run.
In Octanes defense, it is still in beta version. So for the purposes of time and money, not having to learn a new OS and/or buy new software, I'm going to run Octane on a PC after. As soon as I get into the program more, I'll start to share my results.
Thanks!

Hi guys, i'm sorry to tell you this but apple current does not have ANY system in the mini, laptop and imac ranges with any decent GPU for octane.
You will have a slow, fairly unuseable performance, difficult to use interface and the same speed as a CPU unbiased engine, as these new 330 chips are simple 2D video and slow 3D chips.
For serious use i recommend to invest in a PC for now (octane will run 10x as fast for the same price, and you get to run the x64 version), or, if you have a mac pro, invest in a propper add on GPU.
Yours,
