I have a late 2009 MacPro running MacOS 10.6.3. I have two nvidia GPUs, GTX 285 and GT120 (machine default.) I wanted to make the GTX 285 exclusive as I can not run any applications that take more than 10 seconds on that card. I read that on Linux, one needs to use nvidia-smi in background to set the mode. Is there way on MacOS to achieve similar effect?
Any input will be useful.
Thanks.
