We officially support OpenCL only on AMD devices (Windows and Linux). Mac OS ships old drivers with the OS, and these cannot be updated. We have to wait for Apple here.

Can you confirm if 10.10.4 has the new drivers? At least I can't see a compute device in the preferences on 10.10.4.

Maybe OS X 10.11 will change something here, this is totally not in our control.

Okay, sorry for bothering. I was just wondering if the drivers include a boolean which tells blender wether to enable opencl?

{F285164}Hi!

The same problem. MacBook Pro 11.5 2015 (model: a1398 OS X 10.11.3) with R9 m370x.
Blender can not cope completely with that hardware.
In the settings but sees OpcenCL:

  1. GPU (R 9 m370x IrisPro +) = freezing rendering
  2. GPU (R 9 m370x) = freezing long time rendering.
  3. CPU - errors while rendering.

Please help.

Best Regards!

My MacBook Pro by this table fulfills all standards OpenGL and OpenGL.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) AMD Radeon R9 M370X 4.1 1.2

Does the problem is definitely on the side of Apple?

I cant see even GPU on the list as MarioM says

And now it works with new blender 2.77a

Still it does not work in the new version of Blender. :(

Screenschot

Without a sense of action. Enabling support GPU R9 will slow rendering. :(
Rendering the fastest running on the CPU. It makes no sense, unlike assumes logic OpenCL :(

What is the chance for the correct operation of rendering Cycles on the Apple machine? Please reply.

I do not understand. :( Please reply.

Best Regards!
