[Avid-L2] Mac Nvidia/CUDA drivers

 

Thanks to the discussion recently on this list, I understand that it's possible to install the CUDA driver while using Mac's Stock OSX Nvidia driver rather than the NVidia web-driver. However, the version of the CUDA driver  that is compatible with the MAC driver might be different than what is compatible with the Nvidia web-driver. 


All I have found is compatibility indications to match the CUDA driver to the Nvidia web-drivers.  (i.e. macvidcards.com).  Is there a good resource to show compatibility with the stock Mac Nvidia driver -- in my case for OSX 10.13.6, build 17G5019 ?  

Thanks,
--Michael Brockington

Re: [Avid-L2] Mid 2012 MacPro CPU Upgrade?

 

That's what I thought but it sounds much more convincing when you say it.

John, I may want to do that once you get a bid. And, of course, once you know if it makes any difference.

I'm eyeing the new cheesegrater, but may just jump back to windoze instead. For now, it's cheesegrater.

Sure glad I invested in the nVidia cards for resolve though. Ahhrrrggg!

[Avid-L2] Surround speakers on EBay

 

Hey,

Just posted the killer surround speakers from our soon-to-be-decommissioned mix room, on eBay. (I use freelance mixers now, who mostly work at home.)

Item #: 153518306793

If you need other items from the mix stage that I haven't posted to eBay yet, let me know what you're looking for.

Huh. It's Friday, I think I'll go in there and 'rock out' before someone hauls these babies away…
