Your questions are not related to development, please post such questions
to the users' list (CCd, please continue there).

Secondly, this is intriguing, could it be that you are using a newer
runtime form a different path with GROMACS than with the deviceQuery SDK
sample?

BTW, I do think this should work, but to the best of my knowledge Apple has
no official hardware that ships with or can be upgraded to GTX 680, right?
