Hi everybody

i just want to try octane on my Macbook but the app shows that i don't have CUDA GPUs .. i have

-Macbook Pro 2010 i7 2.6Ghz with Nvidia GT 330m 512MB
-OSX 10.9
-The latest CUDA Driver 5.5.28 with CUDA Tool Kit
-Octane Demo Version 1.2
-Cinema 4D Demo Plug in
-Cinema 4D R14 Studio

------------
The Situation :

- CUDA Driver installed before installing Octane
- The Standalone Octane shows gray screen with " No CUDA GPUs " Message
- Tried to turn off Automatic graphics switching
- tried to force OpenGL by running another app before running the octane
- C4D freezes after i hit the render button and have a black picture in the render output window

------------

at the end i thought that my 330m isn't supported but i saw this guy using it !!!!

is there any solution for my problem ?

Hi, Older cards like these are being phased out because of the lack of support for the later features octane needs to develop further.
Having said that, the 330m has a compute capability of 1.2 (according to https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus ), which should work with the 1.2 standalone at least. See this FAQ page for details (http://render.otoy.com/faqs.php).

Does the 1.0 demo work?

Hi Chris thanx for your help

1.0 doesn't work also

where can i find the older OSX standalone demo versions ?

That is as old as we have on file on the server.
Can you please try some older CUDA driver versions?
Something like 4.2? http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cud ... river.html

Octane 1.0 can't see the CUDA 4.2 .. and i think OSX 10.9 is the problem cos it have it's own CUDA driver " The latest one "

forget about it .. i quit .. i will test the octane on my friend GTX680 next month

thanx man i appreciate your help

I have the same MacBook Pro model with the exact same problem. I cannot even get the standalone version nor the C4D plug-in version functionning.

Anybody found a solution so far?

Thanks.
