If you are currently running any BOINC CUDA projects (not just PrimeGrid) on an Nvidia GPU we recommend that you do NOT UPGRADE to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) at this time. According to the BOINC Wiki, the Nvidia CUDA driver is broken. After ugrading to OS X 10.9, you will likely be unable to run any BOINC CUDA tasks until Nvidia fixes the driver. There's an ongoing discussion located here.

GTK! Thanks. I'll wait.
Ummm...this seems backwards logically. The Nvidia and AMD drivers worked. OS X worked. OS X was changed, not the Nvidia and AMD drivers. Therefor it follows that OS X is broken, not the Nvidia or AMD driver.Originally Posted by RSS
What they're basically saying is they had a CD that worked. The Pioneer car stereo worked. They wanted a better Pioneer car stereo so they changed it. Now the CD doesn't work. You complain to Pioneer about it and they tell you your CD is broken, not the new Pioneer stereo. You have your doubts, so you play your CD on previous Pioneer car stereos. It works just fine. You play it on car stereos from another brand. Again, it works just fine. You begin getting angry and report this to Pioneer, who yet again insists your CD is broken, not the new stereo....really?

When has "Apple" ever ever ever admitted to fubaring anything they have created...????
The answer: ALMOST NEVER. Remember the iPhony 4 fiasco with the antenna problem? (aka Apple Antennagate)

I needed to upgrade XCode, the development tools for OS X, in order to compile versions compatible with OS X Maverick. The funny part is that Maverick still uses GCC 4.2.1 which is a relatively old version. Then again, all the OS X tools are woefully out of date. Funnier yet is that GCC 4.2.1 is the same version used for OS X 10.8 yet that version was backward compatible with OS X 10.6 and 10.7. The Maverick version of the same GCC compiler can no longer compile apps for OS X 10.5 thru 10.7. I guess that's one way for Apple to piss people off -- errr... I mean convince them to upgrade. While Maverick is a free upgrade, you have to be on a recent version in order to do it. If you need to upgrade from 10.6, you will have to buy the 10.8 upgrade first and then download the free 10.8 to 10.9 upgrade.
No. It is free to upgrade from 10.6 (snow leopard), 10.7 (lion), and 10.8 (mountain lion). No need to buy anything to get to 10.9 (mavericks).
If you have 10.5 (leopard) or earlier, you need to get somehow get yourself to at least 10.6.

FWIW, I am pretty sure that anything that shipped with 10.5 will not run 10.9 anyway. So if you have a machine that can accept 10.9, you shouldn't have to pay anything to upgrade.
Thanks for the correction. I should know better than to re-post without checking the facts. But, we all know that if it is posted on the Internet, it has to be true, right? ;-)
Why Mavericks instead of Maverick? Rumor has it that it is a surfing spot in CA near where some execs live. I'm not a fan of naming it a plural. Seems kind of dumbs to me, like the "s" doesn't belongs theres.
Yeah, it was named after the surfing thing. I agree, a plural for a name suxors.
