OpenCL and Macbook Pro 15 Zoll, Mitte 2012

TAOGde
After testing C1 now for 3 Shootings i found out, that my GT650M and OpenCl not working together.

Why? This Computer is not too Old. C1 had the Version 7.2.2. 7.2.3 does drive crazy so i downgrade.

What is needed to work with OpenCl on this Maschine?

UPDATE:
Started an OpenCL Benchmark and how i see, my GT650M do a better Job than my other Devices.

    The 650M is basically too slow for CO. Compared to the normal CPU in a mid 2012 mbp, the GPU would actually be slower.

    We primarily disable the slow GPU due to stability and performance. Slow cards needs compromises in the code, that in-turn can cause stability-issues along with performance issues on faster cards.

    Well, when i see it right my Nvidia is faster than my I7 CPU

    so, it look slike that my GFX card is not too slow to working with OpenCL 😉

    I test it out.

    TAO, what specific MBP do you use? There were models with both 512 MB vram and 1 GB vram back in 2012. Capture One only runs properly with 1 GB vram or more, so the “automatic†setting in 7.2.2 disabled OpenCL when this is not met. With C1 7.2.3 though there’s a bug where this startup checking of requirements isn’t made, resulting in potential crashes while in use as well as processing errors in final JPEG/TIFF files.

    It depends a lot on circumstances: file size, resolution, number of images, steps made while developing them, layers / local adjustments, how often you restart C1 during work on a session, do you use the loupe, and so on. As it’s not very predictable OpenCL has been disabled on “automatic†for a long time with little video memory (what you observed with 7.2.2), with 7.2.3 this startup check was removed (by accident? bug?).

    But as long as it works for you, enjoy! 😊
