Hi all - I'm running the PrimeGrid apps on an i5 iMac with an NVIDIA GT750M graphics card, which I believe supports OpenCL. In the projects I have selected OpenCL where there is an option to do so, but as yet have not seen an GPU workloads download.
Is there another setting that I'm missing for this please?
Thanks,
Oliver |

I am NOT a Mac guy but on windows machines you need the driver from the manufacturer, not the generic works to boot the computer but not powerful enough to crunch with drivers. You might try the Nvidia.com site and see if they have one for your machine. |

It's probably a venue setting.
It looks like you only have the default venue defined ("---"), but your computer is on the "home" venue. Change the computer to the "---" venue and it should start obeying your settings.
Venue is also called "location" on some web pages.

Not really sure what's wrong. Try heading over into the chat room (link is in the menu on the left) and maybe we can debug this in real time if we're both there at the same time.

Will do. Maybe later today. Thanks again.
I'm going to do a little more research on my own as well. I just installed the NVIDIA cuda drivers, and now have a cuda work unit running. Looking around on the web there seem to be various isssues with OpenCL on the Mac, and under OSX 10.11.x specifically. |

Actually, it seems to be working. You have a GFN task running on your GPU. (genefer21_2097152_828241_19)

Indeed... see my comment above this. Half solved. Five units running rather than four now, which is a step in the right direction. |
