    Thanks, I saw that before I posted, seems to be a different issue, as everything is installed and tested in my case. Does anyone know why DAZ cannot initialize my card?

    FYI:

    and it is still CPU only with above test scene. Any suggestions?

    I have a somewhat similar setup as yours (iMac with the same graphics card) and am not seeing this problem. In general, I am finding i can render faster in iRay than I can in the standard renderer. Is it possible that you have a defective card? This is a recent render I did.

    Have you updated the graphic card'd driver to the neweset version?
    I got a similar error with a 660er card, and it turned out that my graphic card's driver was out of date. After updating, it ran smoothly.

    EDIT: Just realized you already did that...

    In the NVidea driver settings, have you enabled CUDA for DS in 3D settings?
    It sometimes doesn't work with the default settings, so you might need to change it to "Use all GPU".

    A quick search comes up with one or two possibilities...driver problems or bad card.

    And since this is a laptop (yeah, it's a Mac laptop, but still a mobile chipset)...what's your warranty/service contract like?

    Thanks, but I do not think it can be either card or drivers as I have verified the drivers/card by compiling and running deviceQuery and bandwidth monitor.

    Is there something else I need to set in DAZ?

    What shows in help about your graphics card in DAZ?
    I am on Windows but also in your graphics settings you can set how different programs use the card, I presume Mac it is the same.
    DAZ is obviously seeing your card as it is named.
    The test as to the state of the card is to see if other programs work with it, try a free game off steam maybe or a nVidia demo scene like Dawn.

    the latest cuda drivers for mac (v7.0.36 Apr 09 2015) are here, you appear to be running v7.0 - while that should be fine there may be a corruption in the drivers it would not hurt to reinstall them.
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-7.0.36-driver.html
    these are the only drivers you should be using in 10.10


    the latest operating drivers for your card have not changed since 10.10.1, so the 10.10.3 update does not change them, and they can not be downloaded from Nvidia's site as mac does all the testing in house.
    however there was a report that a securities patch in 10.10.2 broke the nvida driver for cards not manufactured by nvida (e.g. using nvidia chipsets on say an ASUS card) on your rig that's not the case.


    see this article about running the mac diagnostics
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18765?locale=en_US
    if this process tells you it's the card at fault you will need to contact apple to see if your computer is under warranty.


    if the problem continues there may be a corruption in your account, the simple way to test is
    create a new administrative account
    log into that account
    repair permissions on the drive
    launch studio and render.
    your content may be dependent on if you changed the default install location from the shared folder within your users.

    if the problem continues from this point I would read this brief and proceed as you feel comfortable.

    It seems those demos are windows only.

    I have tried a different user, same results.

    I have followed this and it says all is good.
    http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-getting-started-guide-for-mac-os-x/#axzz3ZyqP7BcA

    Anything else to try?

    Have you tried the Octane benchmark?

    If that works at least you'll know your cuda setup and card are working to some degree.

    Did you ever resolve this? If not, did you try the nvidia web drivers?

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/103826/en-us

    I'm curious whether iray acceleration works with the native mac drivers at all. Can anyone confirm? If so, can someone test the case described here:
