#Final cut pro for mac os x lion drivers
NVidia have begrudgingly implemented beta support of OpenCL for developers, but it is not yet fit for purpose in apps yet.Īpple may be pressuring NVidia to have OSX Lion drivers ready with proper OpenCL support, to give Lion a competitive advantage over Windows. Apple are pushing the open standard, but NVidia want their own proprietary standard CUDA to be number one standard. The situation with NVidia hardware is more political, sadly. But it’s not yet clear how much video-card RAM Final Cut Pro X will require for OpenCL support – CUDA needed a whopping 512MB minimum which discounted most Macbook Pros prior to 2011.īoth AMD (now owners of ATI graphics) and Apple have thrown the weight behind the technology and it’s expected Intel will also join the party, who are suppling Apple with integrated graphics alongside the CPU in Macs and Macbooks. Support for OpenCL has been around in most graphics card drivers since 2009.
