Is "Show GPU Info" broken on the Mac side?

I've been running almost exclusively on the Mac and Show GPU Info has never done anything, but we recently rented a 4 GPU PC for rendertests with Octane (which is mega-fast, btw!) and the popup window for GPU info shows up there. It's terrific to have as a status check in C4D.

Anyone else have the same issue out there?

Thanks guys — I suspected as much.

Even though our shop is primarily Mac-based since we're so design heavy, I can see a Octane-enabled future where a lot of our 3D work gets done on PCs. Is there anything out there I should be aware of bouncing back and forth between Windows and Mac machines in an Octane pipeline?
