Likewise. I've not read through the entire thread but I'm gathering there's not been a solution to the problem. Has anyone from Adobe spoken up about it? I'm tempted to cancel my Creative Cloud subscription if I can't get this working on my apparently supported card.

I keep getting the 5070::0 error with a Quadro 400 card as well. 

I was using a Geforce GT 120 when I updated to 10.7.4.  After I updated I took out that card and installed the Quadro 4000 and updated the latest CUDA driver 4.2.7.  After that time I had installed CS 6.  I don't remember it giving me this error before I updated to CUDA 5.0.17.  After the CUDA update I started getting the 5070::0 error.  I then updated to AE 11.0.1 and still am having the same problem. 

I have also noticed that when I look at the GPU information in AE that the Shader Model isn't recognized.  At one point after updating to 11.0.1, I received a dialog box before AE even started notifying me that I had to have Open GL 4.0 or higher to work.  Looking at the GPU info in AE wouldn't even recognize CUDA at all.  After a restart of the computer solved that issue, but still received the 5070::0 error and my GPU information in AE still showed no Shader Model.

Hey All.

I had this issue on a 2010 MBPro. fixed it by updating the Cuda drivers in system preferences/cuda. sorry if I'm reposting a previous answer.

2010 MBPro running Mountain Lion 10.8

Production Premium CS6

I run gfxcardstatus to force my 330M to run at all times. You should run (double click) GPUsniffer to find out your card name in order to add it to a txt file, that's locatated in Premiere.app/Contents/GPUsniffer.app/Contents/MacOS/GPUSniffer.

I added my card name "GeForce GT 330M" to "cuda_supported_cards.txt" in Premiere.app/Contents and to "raytracer_supported_cards.txt" in After Effects.app/Contents. You'll need to enable permissions on these files in order to save the changes. I also copied "cuda_supported_cards.txt" into the After Effects.app/Contents folder.

Mercury Playback works in Premiere and Ray Traced / CUDA works in AE.

(Running: OSX Snow Leopard, 2.66ghz i7, 8GB, 128GB SSD, latest CUDA driver).

Todd,

Still having the same issues as before. Here is what I did. 

1. Installed the new update (11.0.2)

2. Booted up AE and turned on GPU(Previously I had it set to CPU so I wouldn't keep getting the error at startup)

3. Closed AE and restarted.

4. Get the same error as always now with version 11.0.2

5. Quit AE

6. Updated my CUDA driver from 5.0.24 to 5.0.36

7. Restarted my computer

8. Started AE, same problem.

I've had the same error on MacPro mid 2012 12xcore running OS 10.8.2, but only since upgrading from 10.7.whatever.

I don't have an Nvidia card, I'm using the ATI which came with the Mac. However, downloading and installing the latest CUDA driver seems to have resolved the problem.

No... I'm pretty sure it doesn't anyway.

I'm not sure what it's being applied to, it didn't give me anyway warnings or problems, just installed as you would expect. The important thing is that ray-tracing seems to be working fine again since doing it (I didn't have any problems before upgrading to 10.8.2). It may, of course, just be a coincidence. I thought it'd be worth sharing nonetheless.

This is pretty interesting.

I'm wondering mttsmmnds where did you get the CUDA driver from (this is probably a stupid question, if CUDA is exclusively Nvidia and I didn't know that)? What version is the driver.

I'm just wondering, because I update my driver using the system settings for my Nvidia card. My CUDA Driver is 4.2.10, which according to the CUDA Preferences window is the latest.

But I'm still having the error at the startup of Ae. I haven't tried rebuilding my system or reinstalling Ae after having updated my CUDA driver. Maybe I should try that.

CUDA 4.2.10 is old.

I'm still experiencing this issue on my MacPro 4,1 with a Quadro 4000 for Mac.  I'm using AE 11.0.2.  This morning I checked to see if there were any new CUDA updates via system preferences and noticed that there was a new version.  I was using 5.0.36 but said that 5.0.37 was available via the system preference pane.  Before I installed it I went to the NVIDIA website to find the latest releases and it didn't show 5.0.37 just 5.0.36 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html)

Before I installed it I did some digging around on NVIDIA's website and found a new graphics driver.  I thought I would install this first, restart and see if the error went away, but sadly it did not.  That link cautions you that you must be running 10.7.5 and is only for MacPro models MacPro 3,1 MacPro 4,1 and MacPro 5,1 and that you must be running CUDA driver 5.x  (http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-295.00.05f02-driver.html)

After realizing that the new graphics driver (295.00.05f02) did not fix the problem, I decided to install CUDA driver version 5.0.37 via the system preference pane and restarted.  It still doesn't work. 

Finally one thing that is new that I'm trying to figure out is why when I'm upgrading the Adobe Extension Manager CS6 Update via the Adobe Application Manager am I getting the installation error code: U44M1P7

I'll get that figured out and working and I'll try AE out again.  Probably unrelated but you never know.

In AE my OpenGL and CUDA information are below:

OpenGL Version: 2.1 NVIDIA-7.33.0

CUDA version: 5.0

Actually, marq5.1, I was able to fix the U44M1P7 error.  You can see what I did to accomplish this in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4791572

Fixing that problem still didn't fix the ray tracing error.  I thought they were probably unrelated in the first place but since it was Adobe I wasn't sure.

I have a Windows 7 64 bit system running an older version of the NVidia FX4800 driver to maintain Avid compatability. May be changing that. Anyway I am getting the same Ray tracer failed to launch 5070::0 error. I have just installed the .2 update and after a second try got an NVidia OpenGL driver detected a problem with the display driver...Error code 3

Turns out, before I had heard of the update I downloaded the NVidia 306 driver to see if it would help. Nope, created conflicts instead so removed  it, restarted the computer so that I am back to the 275 driver and now it works. Okay.  Wow though, the ray tracing does take time. I am running a Intel 2600K overclocked to 4.4 GHz. Now that everything seems to work I will now get to work on optimizing it all.

CORRECTION - 3D worked fine - the ray tracing still does not work.

I had this error today after I fitted a new GTX 570 and changing my Disk Cache folder to my RAID drive (which is how I found this thread) It went away when I returned my Disk Cache folder to the default one on my OS drive (SSD) (Win7 64) Has anyone had this error after moving their Disk Cache folder to a drive which is not their OS drive or does this fix the problem for anyone?

John Spirou's solution on Page 3 worked for me...I was getting these erros and did NOT have Nvidia cards, but installing the Cuda Driver still worked for me! Solved the problem!

Reinstalling AE and reapplying the hack did not help. It still shows the error, and diasbles raytracer for GPU.
