DaVinci Resolve Lite crash after login - openCL/GPU error

DaVinci team,

I've been reading around the forums reading about others with a similar problem.
I am also getting the OpenCL error telling me to install/update my drivers.

I have an older and slower iMac (2008), so I'm worried I might not meet the specifications to run Resolve Lite.

I've attached photos of the error, my specifications, and my NVIDIA CUDA specs...

By they way, I don't mind if it runs slowly, it is just for practice. Just hoping it can run at all.
If my specs here don't suffice, could I run it on my 2010 MacBook Pro 13?

Thanks!

Hi Mary,

No good news I'm afraid, neither your iMac nor your Macbook Pro are suitable for Resolve.

These are the Mac computers that Resolve will run on:

Apple Mac Pro (Mid 2012), Intel 12-Core

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch Hi-Res Widescreen, Early 2011), Intel Core i7
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
Apple MacBook Pro (15" Retina display, Mid 2012), Intel Core i7
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011), Intel Core i7

Apple iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), Intel Core i5

Thank you for the quick response.

What a shame! How about the new iMacs and MacBooks on sale now?

Thanks again!

The new 27" iMac works well for HD. The 15" retina MacBookPro is slower but certainly ok for on set, training or learning the app. Be sure to get 16GB ram and for the iMac if you can the 3TB fusion drive. Both systems can connect to Thunderbolt media storage.
