In order to manually update your driver, follow the steps below (the next steps). I wish someone with that laptop (or even a 2013 iMac with similar GPU) would chime in with their thoughts. The package provides the installation files for NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M Graphics Driver version 9. It's more $$$, but I'm guessing it'll be worth it. I'm sure it'd be better with a newer NVIDIA card (from what I've read anyway) but like you, it's hard to get feedback from many people on these forums who use macs. STEP 3: Click the Open Uninstaller button. STEP 2: Click on the padlock icon and enter an Administrator password. I am running Premiere CC on an iMac with an AMD GPU that isn't on the list, but does have 1GB of VRAM so I can take advantage of gpu accleration (however, while it's smoother than "software only", it definitely has it's REALLY annoying issues). To uninstall the NVIDIA Web Driver and the NVIDIA Driver Manager, follow the steps below: STEP 1: Open the NVIDIA Driver Manager from the System Preferences or through the menu bar item. I know my compute capability is low (3.0) for my GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M) but it’s more so for me to get introduced to CUDA programming.
While the regular 15" Macbook with the integrated graphics card is probably good enough to edit w/ Premiere CC, I don't think you'll be able to take advantage of any GPU acceleration because of the lack of a dedicated GPU with 1GB of VRAM. Hi Guys, As the title says, I wanted to install CUDA on my Macbook pro. But the 750M has 2GB VRAM and pretty much any GPU with 1GB of VRAM or more can take advantage of the Mercury Playback Engine on Premiere CC ( ) With CS6, if your card isn't on the "list" you could add it using that hack that people talk about but you don't have to worry about that with CC as the above link explains. It took a while after last year's macs were released for that list to be updated with those GPUs. I've noticed that the list of "supported" GPU's is not updated all that much by Adobe. While they are helpful, it's rare to get anything beyond guesses for Adobe Premiere CC performance on Macs. Unfortunately, I've found that many of the users here are PC users.
Is it worth getting the 15" MacBook Pro with the Nvidia graphics card over the 15" version without for use with both Premiere Pro & After Effects CC?
