That may be shared by Nvidia, as my Titan X is a flashed card not offered by Nvidia directly, but rather a third party:


This may have changed since I purchased my card.  Hard to keep up.

Nvidia does offer drivers for this tech for OSX, though, including CUDA.

Is CUDA even supported on Mac hardware going forward? Apple seems to have an institutional hatred for Nvidia, unfortunately.

I’ve been working on a maxed out 2012 MacPro5,1, but have found significant gains in Pr by upgrading my GPU to the biggest and baddest, the Titan X.  Most of my work is in Pr, and a CUDA GPU makes a big difference.

I wonder how much, if anything is gained by rendering DL-ed Ae Comps in Pr, but my guess is “not much, if any.” That’s due to the fact that Adobe vaunts CUDA for rendering CUDA accelerated effects and H.264 export, and not everything.

On my wish list is that Adobe and all third-party vendors would make their effects CUDA hardware accelerated.  And, any other GPU vendor, FTM.  I’ve read that Open CL and Metal are still works in progress in OSX.  True?
