Q: Nvidia CUDA drivers says it needs an update but says no update available

I am trying to update the driver for my NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for my 2008 Mac Pro. It says that I need to install a new CUDA driver, but it says there are no newer versions available. I went to the Nvidia website and downloaded and installed the driver manually, but the only one it seems to update is the GPU driver.

I am trying to edit in Premier Pro but I'm unable to use the CUDA driver, which is going to suck when I render out this 45 minute wedding.

Any solutions to this, or am I SOL?

    okay, this might help you. I dunno what OS you have, only that you have a CUDA program with your Quadro FX 4800. If you go to nvidia's website, I think you can find the CUDA driver for nvidia cards. it's under driver downloads, then go to "Beta, Older Drivers and More" and there you wil find the Cuda driver for mac, as for getting it to run in Premier Pro, I can't say, it should support it, but if not you have to use the terminal and some other stuff to add it to

    apparently after you install the CUDA driver, you have to go into system preferences for the CUDA control panel and updating it, also in Premiere Pro, after restarting, go to File, then Project Settings, then general, then Video Rendering. the cuda choice should be there. also, check out Preferences, Preview, then click on the GPU info button to launch the dialog box. also check out vidmuze.com (the blog ) for a video on how to enable the GPU CUDA in Adobe CS 6. that's all i have

    I'm using Yosemite, and there is no beta driver for that OS. I downloaded the only driver I saw available on their website for Yosemite.

    You said you went to Nvidia site.

     

    I did not go to beta downloads.

     

    should be, ought to be, use to be.... hmm

     

    Uninstalling old driver and preference pane very well could then allow you to go ahead and install the new set.

    This is the exact update that I installed. For some reason it seems to only have updated the GPU because in the Nvidia preference pane keeps telling me that my Cooter driver needs to be updated.

    Have same problem on MacPro 2009 with Nvidea Quadro 4000 after installing Yosemite........ Re-installed new Cuda driver but Cuda preferences informs one that Cuda Driver version 6.5.18 "Update Required"

    Is this a problem for many users of MacPro and Nvidea graphics card?

    Got the attention it needs on XLR8YOURMAC.COM so hope with more awareness a new driver will arrive.

     

    Maybe something about Yosemite enforced signed extension drivers.

    My first visit was to XLR8YOURMAC.COM to find an answer to problem.

    Seems like an obvious bug that should be resolved while testing beta versions of Yosemite 10.10.

    Hopefully problem will be resolved soon!!

    I tried uninstalling both drivers and reinstalling them. I was able to install the device manager properly in system preferences however the CUDA driver failed. http://i.imgur.com/nSZaYMa.jpg

    Why does that screenshot say 2.3 instead of 6.5?

     

    I'm using a Mac Pro 2008, EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, Mac OS X 10.10. I'm not experiencing this problem after I installed the latest CUDA driver (cudadriver-6.5.18-macos.dmg dated Aug 21, 2014 8:49 PM) after the NVIDIA driver was updated to 343.01.01f01.

     

    I had to download the CUDA driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-6.5.18-driver.html

    I have currently a fx4800 and 4000 in my 5,1 machine and a few days ago I uploaded the latest cuda driver and it didn't work. So I reinstalled my graphics driver and manually installed cuda 5.5.28 and it is now working. Im still using mountain lion since mavericks was so buggy. And now Yosemite came out so fast it leads me to believe I made the right move for now. Im still using CS6 production suite and not CC, since my needs doesn't need CC at this time. To see if cuda is working I ran Cuda-Z free program to see if can access Cuda. With my current setup yes..but with the latest Cuda with the latest 313 driver for mountain lion was a fail. I hope nvidia will continue to support older cards with Cuda updates, not everyone needs to use maverick or yosemite. PS..I wish Adobe will fix the audio dropout for Premiere CS6 and not just the latest version of Premiere CC.

    I have raised a Case with Nvidia and it has now been escalated to a Level 2 engineer.  I got the following response from the engineer:

     

    The case was escalated to me. We have received reports of this issue and currently investigating the problem. We're not sure yet why the CUDA Preference is prompting for update but this does sound like a bug we'll need to look into. I'll keep you posted on the issue as the bug is updated.

     

    I also noticed that driver has now been reverted back to OS X Default Graphics Driver with the NVIDIA Web Driver 343.01.01f03 being Not Compatible according to the NVIDIA Driver Manager Preferences application.

    The problem is that, CUDA.frameworks doesn't have an entry for 343.01.01 web driver.

     

    To fix the 'Update Required' problem,

    Go to /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

    Open Info.plist with your favorite text editor.

    Find <key>NVDAResmanVersions</key> and add

    <key>343.01.01</key>

    <string>343.01.01</string>

    save it and reboot.

     

    'Update Required' will be gone but not sure it will enable CUDA support for Premier Pro.
