So the latest drivers will make after effects crash, is that right ? Also were do you find that window to choose between native drivers or Cuda? For me I only get that small nvidia pane in preferences, no options.

I was hoping for a new driver that might fix some stuttering I get in games after I upgraded to mavericks.

It's the new CUDA drivers specifically that cause AFX to crash. The new graphics drivers seem to be fine. And you can reinstall the older CUDA drivers over the new ones and it seem fine now.

Just have to wait for an update. It seems that the updated CUDA drivers weren't supposed to be pushed out as the download page for the new graphics drivers still reference the older CUDA drivers.

Installing the Web Driver puts an Nvidia utility in your menu bar that allows you to switch between the Default Drivers and the Web Drivers.

I had an odd glitch with mine for a while where even though I had the web drivers installed, there was no control panel. Took a few restarts before it magically appeared. Even the nvidia menu item in the top OS menu bar didn't do anything.

ok i have mavericks installed, gtx285, cuda ,after effects cc, premiere all working together.

the problem is the latest web driver, i've found using the latest cuda driver (5.5.43) with the osx default driver it works fine but putting on the web driver the cuda stops working and AE breaks.

the cuda update thing also no longer says it needs to be updated.

so finally i've got mavericks and my 285 working together :D

FYI, this is causing the SAME EXACT ISSUES with 10.8.5

Installed NVIDIA web driver update 313.01.04f01 and then was prompted to install CUDA update. Update downloaded, then tried opening Adobe apps... nothing would start. Restarted machine and was prompted with CUDA needs to be updated but no update available error.

Restoring from my clone ASAP...

Nvidia today released CUDA 5.5.47 which works perfectly with 313.01.04f01.

Tried downloading on a few machines... even reinstalled the CUDA 5.5.28 panel on one of them and had issues actually getting system panel to download. It would see/find that there was an update available, just could not actually download... maybe NVIDIA's servers were getting slammed, who knows. I'll wait for a package download to become availailable. Either way, I'm sticking with 313.01.03f02 and 5.5.28 on 10.8.5 for now - when I update to 10.9.x I'll deal with this mess again.

Downloaded and installed through the preference pane here. No drama...

I had the web driver, now installed the update through preference pane, that driver version doesn´t show on the web.

But, no menus to switch between cuda or default. No menus, anyone know why ?

Go to System Preferences and there should be an Nvidia Preference Pane. Click on it and enable the option that facilitates the Nvidia utility to enable or disable the Web Drivers and shows in the menu bar.

I can verify this, I am using BOINC latest version v.7.42 and Einstein@Home project on a hulkish old Mac Pro 1,1 with the nVidia 8800GT that shipped with the Mac Pro 3,1, on OS X Lion 10.7.5.

CUDA v.5.5.43 did not recognize the 8800 GT and didn't get assigned any GPU work units.

Went to the nVidia prefpane, saw CUDA 5.5.47 update available, downloaded and installed through same. Rebooted machine, the MP is now processing CUDA GPU work units at what seems to be on average about 33% faster than when it was last working. That's solid!

K6000

Anyone know anybody who has run a K6000 with this CUDA update and the current web driver? I am assuming that the current web driver under which people are running Tis and Blacks should be okay, but it'd be nice to see that someone has some experience with it.
