Discussion thread below also suggests clearing out FCP cache folder (in User Library) macOS High Sierra slows down FCPX.

The first thing that pops up is the CUDA Preferences, which states that my CUDA driver (version 8.0.83) has a required update.

Cuda High Sierra Driver Info Updates

But the CUDA Driver Info Updates button does nothing, and the Install CUDA Update button is disabled because, as stated below the button, No newer CUDA Driver available.

BUT When you click on the info button, it takes me to a page of NVIDIA Drivers that includes the 8.0.90 driver.

I will probably attempt to install this, but I note that this driver claims to only support macOS 10.12.x (the same is true of v8.0.83).

I get that NVIDIA might not have the right driver for this older Mac ready.

I mean, its only been available to developers for over a year, but does anyone know for sure if I should install the 8.0.90 driver Should I ignore the whole thing and stick with 8.0.83 The machine seems to be running fine as is.

In addition, switching between applications graphs fail and the macOS interface appears by pieces.

I have a MacBook Pro 15 early 2013 with the same NVIDIA GT 650M GPU.

It seems to basically be a web driven work around to get the most up to date Nvidia driver on your MBP when the normal CUDA interface through the apple OS still is not working correctly.

These are the exact instructions I followed: -cuda-9-0-driver-fully-compatible-with-m Not everyone in the forum said it worked for them, so keep that in mind, but as I said it worked for me not only to get rid of the error message in CUDA but also got Premiere Pro back to shape Good luck.

Cuda High Sierra Drivers And Just

Probably the best option is NOT TO INSTALL any of the new Nvidia drivers and just wait for Apple to update High Sierra with whatever new drivers they buildget for Nvidia.

But, in my testing so far it seems that the updated Nvidia Web Driver (download from Nvidia see links below) is helpful, so proceed with caution.

If you do start down this path, the only way to turn back is to re-install High Sierra (which might actually take less time than installing and testing the new Nvidia drivers).But, heres where Im at now: There are lots of overlapping issues here, and it is hard to sort them out because of how long it takes to restart in High Sierra (10.13.1) with 2012 Macbook Pro Intel i7 ( 3615QM ) CPU 2.3 GHz Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 16GB RAM (I know its old, but its been working fine, I like the Superdrive, and all in all High Sierra seems fine, but it doesnt like the Nvidia GPU especially in Final Cut Pro 10.3.4).

Basically here is what I can tell.

You can download what seem to be working (not beta) drivers from Nvidia at the links below.

Adobe folks seem to be saying that the CUDA update is helpful, but I havent tested that.

FCPX does not use CUDA, and depends on OpenGLOpenCL which is more of an AMD thing.

So, FCPX 10.2.3 was working well on my MBP, but 10.3.4 is REALLY slow on Share (export).

My guess is that the current Nvidia drivers for the 650M arent quite working (since exports get slower as they go, Im going to guess that the GPU is not loadingunloading VRAM and getting clogged up, or it is not handing off tasks between the Nvidia GPU and the onboard GPU on the Intel CPU ).

Then you can choose whether to run Nvidia Web Driver or OSX Default Graphics Driver (a restart necessary to switch between them).

It looks to me that the best option is to get all this installed (dont follow the instructions to trash all the CUDA drivers that you might find elsewhere, that caused a re-boot to get stuck).

And restart FCPX.

It seems to work badly either way, but less badly with the Nvidia Web Driver.even so the FCPX share process disrupts everything else on the computer (which it did not do in the past).

Im going to try the same process on an even older AMD-based MBP and see if that works better.

NVIDIA DRIVERS Quadro GeForce macOS Driver Release 378.10.10.10.20.107.

Generally something changed in FCPx 10.3 (perhaps better quality of the compression processing) that caused it to be much slower on most (at least) older Macbook Pros.
