Open CL 1.1
Closed, ArchivedPublic

Description

I got the beta for the 2.61 ( 2.60.5 r42132).
When trying to render in Cycles I get:
"OpenCL: C version 1.1 or later required, found 1.0"

That's a problem because there is no official OpenCL 1.1 driver from NVIDIA for OS X Lion.
The previous built I used allowed CUDA support and worked ok.

Event Timeline

It's true that we require OpenCL 1.1, and so we don't support using OpenCL on this configuration. CUDA should still be available as a choice, as long as you have the CUDA toolkit installed. Is this missing in the beta build for you?

CUDA didn't show up as an option on 2.60.5 r42132, but it does on 2.60.1 r41600.
But now that I read your link I can reassure that it does work slower than the CPU because I'm running a GeForce 8800, but shouldn't I still get the option to have CUDA?
I'm pretty sure I have the latest CUDA drivers (4.0.50).

Renan, I think that had the same problem. Now I use this build to render http://www.graphicall.org/177 There are more CUDA kernels so it works on my 8600GT. But as I got it's not officially supported.

We require the CUDA toolkit to be installed on Mac now, rather than bundling prebuilt binaries.
