AE CS5 and Nvidia Tesla

Hi,
I am wondering how Nvidia Tesla Cards could be registered in a
way that AE CS5 can use their GPU power. I know, by default they
are not used, but  Tesla Cards share the same architecture with
some of the supported Cards, thus it cannot be a deeper issue.
Best, aftertesla

Tesla Cards share the same architecture with some of the supported Cards, thus it cannot be a deeper issue.
How so? Sorry, you are being naive! Anything that does not register as a normal graphics card cannot be used by OpenGL, plain and simple. That's all there is to say. AE does not use CUDA or any of that, so even remotely pondering upon using Tesla cards/ bricks is a waste of time. That aside, these things can only be addressed by including the proper NVidia libraries in your code and that at this point is very much up to whoever is using CUDA in his plug-ins and programs, which are not that many, either.

  • Photoshop CS5 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Crash

    My specifications:
    Photoshop CS5 (x64)
    Windows 7 x64
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 (latest v197.45 driver)
    Intel i7 920 2.67 GHz
    My card is listed as a tested card for CS5 and NVIDIA says this is compatible with CS5, but today after using it, my screen went blank and the display driver recovered itself. It took about 5 minutes until Photoshop CS5 became responsive again and the GPU features were disabled. I am going to try GPU advanced mode and basic mode instead of normal mode to see what happens, but this is a shame that I have issues like this. I also had issues with CS4 like this.
    What I did to cause this issue: I clicked" Place.." to place an object and that is when it crashed. It only happens randomly as I use Photoshop. Please NVIDIA or Adobe fix this issue. I love the GPU features and I want to run them, but this crashing is annoying for spending so much on buying this product. I hate to have to pay to contact Adobe technical support, it should be included with the purchase of software!
    How to fix this without having to go to basic GPU mode or disabled GPU mode?

    It comes down to policies within companies that in some cases we simply cannot know.
    For example:
    Does nVidia or ATI have a better plan to support cards with new drivers into the future?  My experience is that right now, with my particular video card, ATI does a better job of making new features available (and making them work right) than nVidia.  Is this based on support policy or simply what the engineers can and can't do?  Maybe it's partially a matter of funding.
    Who has a better handle on how to develop unified software and keep it working on all a whole family of cards?  What is their software quality?  I am active on Windows forums, and it sure seemed to take nVidia a lot longer to stabilize their drivers for Windows 7 than ATI.
    Who has a better test lab?  You can imagine that if one company has a better built/funded/maintained test lab, they're more likely to make new versions of drivers for old cards work properly if they have a computer set aside somewhere with that old card in it just waiting to try out new drivers.  Unfortunately you can imagine with these companies making many, many new models all the time that funding that lab (and funding the MAINTENANCE of that lab) could get to be HUGE!
    Lastly, how much do Marketing or other greedy business people influence company direction, vs. Engineers?  Imagine a Marketing person's thoughts:  "Stop making new drivers for that old card; we're not selling those and haven't for a long time.  If a person has one and can't run the latest game or graphics software, he'll go buy a new one, and that's more money for us."
    By the way, just to get an idea of how many different cards we're talking about, look at the sheer number of models listed in the various lists on this page:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
    Just food for thought.

  • CS5 and Nvidia renderings speeds?

    Hi
    I have noticed that PPro CS5 will be able to run fx. AVCHD smoothly - especially if one has a FX 3800, 4800 Q or a GTX 280.
    I have a GTX 260 - wich - it seems - is not supported. So I will proberly have to invest a lot in a new card. I have experienced a lot of different issues with PPro CS4 and AVCHD editting - slow and stuttering editting as soon as effects is added, stuttering and jittering in playback in exported files, slow rendering etc. I run on quite a system i920 2,67 Ghz - 12 GB RAM, 2 X 1TB HDs with Windows 7 64 bit - and I have the feeling that most of my experienced frustrating issues are related to PPro CS4 not being able to handle AVCHD really nice yet. Using software and bad And that my Nvidida GTX 260So I really consider buying one of these cards supported by the new Mercury engine inside PPro CS5....also have to buy the whole Adobe package as well off course...Oh My - what a lot of money Adobe and Nvidia will earn on this update...!!! ;-)
    Anyway - I have high hopes that my AVCHD footage will be much more easy to edit - and that Photoshop/Illustrator etc. will be even better.
    BUT - Wich card should one buy? How much better will the FX 4800 perfrom comapred to fx. FX 3800 or GTX 280? Any one having a qualified oppinion about that?
    I use a lot of time waiting for my PC to render fx. 25 min. video in FLV - that might take 1½-2 hours. And I can play AVCHD smoothly with the 4.2 update installed, but only without effects or tranistions. A Croosover effect makes the machine and CPU go nuts....so....hope CS5 and a new card will help me get better performance over all...but how much and will I be able to just buy GTX 280 or do I have to spend a lot more and get the FX 4800?

  • Nvidia Quadro 600, GeForce GTX 560 Ti or cheaper for Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3?

    Hello,
    I am a professional photographer and I am setting up a new PC (i7, Windows 7 64bit). But I have some troubles to choose the graphic card.
    I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 3, no video editing.
    Between the Open GL, Open CL, CUDA accelerations etc ... professional graphic cards models and consumer ones I am lost!
    The Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti seems more powerful and more versatile but I tell myself that if Nvidia has professional range there must be a reason.
    So in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 what would be the best: GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Nvidia Quadro 600?
    http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-600-us.html
    Any reason to get a Quadro 2000?
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html
    Or the graphic card doesn’t matter much and I should take an entry-level GeForce to enjoy the HDMI and the silence? Which one then?
    Does the Quadro 600 manages 10bits display 10bits? And the Geforce?
    Any change announced with Photoshop CS6 and Ligthroom4?
    The only 3D application I use is Google Earth in 3D mode, does it make any difference?
    Thank you for your help.

    You say "no video editing"...  If that's going to be the case, and you won't use the Mercury engine in the Adobe Premiere Pro package, which needs the nVidia Cuda subsystem, then I recommend you consider the ATI brand over nVidia.
    Why?
    Because while neither brand's developers (ATI or nVidia) always release perfect drivers, I find ATI display drivers to be of consistently higher quality than that of nVidia releases.  What this means to you is generally fewer crashes or quirks.  ATI has also traditionally supported older cards into the future better than nVidia - this might matter to you in a few years.
    People ask me what video card I would recommend, and right now that would be a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 card.  I like this particular card because:
    I've had 100% success with VisionTek cards in a number of different systems, not only initially but they have all run as long as I have used them, without ever breaking down.
    The 6670 model uses very little power (under 70 watts) and as such doesn't stress your computer's power supply, need a separate power connection, nor make a lot of fan noise. 
    It's not the fastest card made for 3D gaming, but it's inexpensive and excellent for Photoshop.  No matter what you choose, you should get a card that scores over 500 on the Passmark GPU benchmark, ideally over 1000:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
    The ATI Catalyst display driver implementations for the 4670/5670/6670 line of cards have been good and solid.
    1 GB of on-card memory seems to be a good size, even for editing a lot of images, and GDDR5 memory provides faster access than DDR3.
    You should know that besides using Photoshop heavily, I also develop OpenGL-based software as well, so I have some additional insight into driver implementations.

  • Premiere / Media Encoder CS5 and deinterlacing

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm not at all happy with the deinterlacing results from Premiere CS5 and Media Encoder. I've been using Premiere since CS3 and hoped for improvement in CS4, but no. And now with CS5, it's still just not good...
    This is what I do in an nutshell: I edit 1080i HDV video in Premiere (using 1080i timelines) and export it to several formats, including 720p for Youtube. Now, whatever I do, I alway get some staircasing / aliasing on deinterlaced output. Not really bad and hardly noticable on video, but very noticable on logo's (which - ironically - are progressive to start with). Preview in Premiere looks fine, but as soon as I put the content through media encoder: staircasing. Even with the new "Use maximum render quality" option enabled.
    When I output my 1080i timeline as 1080i MPEG2 video everything looks pristine (motion adaptive deinterlacing is then done upon playback by my nVidia graphics card). When I leave all rendering options the same and export 1080p or 720p - leaving deinterlacing to media encoder - staircasting is easily visible on logo's and detail is lost in the video compared to real-time deinterlaced output by my graphics card.
    I guess my main question is: Why can't Adobe get this right? nVidia and ATI can do it very well and in realtime on their graphics cards (and have been able to do so for several years now) and freeware filters such as the ones used by ffdshow do a far better job too.
    Why can't a high-end and expensive video editing solution like CS5 get this right? Hugely disappointing

    Hi Todd, Steve,
    I'm running CS5 a Cuda enabled system  (Intel Core i7 965, 12 GB DDR3, MSI GeForce GTX 285 with 2GB memory and a secondary GeForce 9400GT 1GB, running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit).
    Cuda support is enabled in premiere CS5, as my timelines are yellow even when I enable cuda accelerated effects such as color correction. So no problems there.
    I work with 1080i50 HDV and AVCHD files, which I normally use in a HDCAM EX 50i timeline (I use HDCAM EX because that enables me to render all effects and graphics in 1920x1080, instead of a HDV timeline which renders everyting in 1440x1080). I have tried using native HDV timelines too, but that reduces horizontal sharpness on our logo and on sceen graphics, while the deinterlacing problems I encounter are exactly the same.
    The problem is that when I export an HDCAM EX timeline to 720p, I get noticable degradation in image sharpness and visible jaggies on our on-screen logo. The same applies when I export to 1080p. When I export to 1080i (so no deinterlacing is done by Premiere or Media Encoder), the file looks great on playback (deinterlacing done in real time by my nVidia card).
    For the last few weeks I've been working a round the problem in a way which is not ideal for me, but which does seem to provide better results:
    I now work with HDCAM EX 25p timelines instead of 50i, and I set the 'field options' flag for all my clips to 'always deinterlace'. This results in a loss of temporal resolution on my timelines (which I don't really want, since I also export to PAL 50i) but it results in noticably better sharpness and less aliasing on 720p output.
    I'd love to share my on-screen logo title if you wish to have a look at it. Our logo contains a circle which shows easily visible jaggies when deinterlaced incorrectly. Please let me know how to get the files to you.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • What kind of computer specs are required to smoothly run CS5 and future versions?

    Hello,
    I'm in search of a new laptop for running CS5. I checked the Adobe site for system specs (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/tech-specs.html) and they look ridiculous -- I stopped reading at 1 GB RAM...
    So my question is what should the system be like in order to smoothly run CS5 and the future versions CS6 and maybe even 7?   I read that there have been problems with i7 processors. Is it true?
    This far I have found:
    - nVidia Quadro graphics card (are there different versions of this? how much memory the card should have?)
    - 64bit Windows 7
    - memory? how much is sufficient? 6 GB? Memory type/speed specs?
    - processor? i5 or i7 or some else? (I'm in search of a laptop)
    - SSD HD drive or 7200 rpm HD?
    Our company laptop brand is Dell and I tried to look for a suitable model. However, very few had the nVidia Quadro graphics card
    Usage:
    The laptops are mostly used for website and DTP publishing, photo editing, drawing (=Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) but also for technical documentation (Framemaker). To some extent also video editing is done, but not yet very often. However, there are plans for this too. We also run MS SQL Express in some computers to run company-specific software. And of course the normal Office 2010 package. Virus scanner used is McAfee.

    Hello,
    I too agree with the points Mylenium stated. We have discussed about multiple computers (desktop & laptop), but people don't like the mess it would cause in terms of file syncronization etc. And it would also mean double effort for the IT to maintain all the software updates etc. in that many computers. We do work quite a lot in meetings etc. and work and collaborate directly with using these programs. So it would mean double work to first make notes in a meeting and then do work in another computer according to the notes. So the decision of using a good laptop is not random but thought.
    Our current laptops were selected in the CS2 era and they have survived well updates up to CS4. I haven't yet tested what CS5.5 would do in terms of performance and usability. The idea of changing and configuring a computer every year according to the latest models and software requirements does not sound good. That's why I stated the point that the computer to be selected should survive at least a few CS updates.
    SSDs. I don't see them pricely at all. We've changed SSDs to the current laptops and they increased their lifetime by at least two years. Incredible increase in speed! I really do recommend SSDs and would not even consider using mechanical drives anymore. In general I don't see the price of the laptop as problem -- it costs a lot more to configure and install the computer than the price of the computer. And if the computer is slow and/or needs to be changed often to a new model, it costs even more in lost employee performance.
    So conclusion up to now:
    - Win 7 64 bit
    - 8 GB memory
    - SSD drive
    - min i5 processor
    - Graphics card? Mobile Quadro NVS 3100M?
    So the current computer model could be:
    Dell E6410
    - Intel Core™ i7-640M
    - NVIDIA® NVS 3100M 512MB gDDR3
    - 14.1” WXGA+ LED Display (1440x900)
    - 8 GB dual channel DDR3 memory, 1 333 MHZ
    - 128 GB SSD

  • CS5 MPE nVIDIA Card Question

    I've seen the graphic card list recommended for the Mercury Playback Engine.  Everyone wants to know if their card will work.  The GTX285 made the list. I have a GTX280.  Do I get CS5 and cross my fingers?  Some tech evauluation would be great.. for instance.. "don't even try it cause it will it crash and burn" or  "it will work OK but you'll have a 15% reduction in performance."

    Grin... I am sort of in the same "wait and see" group... except mine question is "will MPE offer any benefit to non-HD work"?
    If an nVidia 285 at $400 does nothing more for SD-to-DVD over a $100 ATI... I will just buy an ATI and save $300
    If the 285 does offer rendering benefits for SD only editing... I have to weigh the cost-benefit for me
    So... wait and see (read) when CS5 is released

  • AE CS5 and CS5.5 crashes on a brand new machine

    Hi,
    today I was so happy to install AE CS5  (as a part of the Master Collection) on my new Dell M6600, WIn 7 &4bit, Sp1
    with i7-2920XM processor, 16 GB 1600 MHz RAM,SSD SATA III drive and.....the amazing 4 GB Quadro 5010M
    Obviously, I spent some money, but this machine has to work like a horse and AE is not the only load it has to move.
    ........however, I sadly noticed that After Effects crashes like never before.
    I have no idea why, the Nvidia drivers are up to date, also I installed all updates for AE CS5 and I even
    installed a test version of AE CS5.5. Same thing:
    - after AE started, it takes at most 30 seconds and it asks me whether I want to save this new project and
    I can press any of the 3 options and AE simply disappears.
    - also, when I try import a text file (OK stupid idea just testing it) it disappears immeadiately wiithout saying good bye.
    I already disabled and eventually deleted the AE OpenGL plugin, but nothing changes.
    Also in the Nvidia settings I even disabled the option to treat AE by this card, that is, it should merely
    be use the Intel HD graphics....still same result....of course, I rebooted several times to be sure that
    the changes really apply.
    Dell believes it must be the Graphics Card, and although this would be case of warranty, I would like
    to ask if any AE expert had an idea whether this is THE solution, otherwise several thousand dollars
    would simply be destroyed for no good reason.

    Apparently not... Not sure what else to tell you. The more interesting question here would be, whether otehr OpenGL driven programs actually work on the system...

    Update/ adjust your graphics card driver. Both crashes seem pretty clearly related to issues with graphics acceleration not working as required by both programs.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 & Nvidia Drivers 267.17 & 270.71

    Hello,
    Information for anyone struggling with a PC, PPro CS5.5, Quadro 2000, and nvidia drivers 267.17 or 270.71:
    This past week-end I struggled getting PPro CS5.5 to run right on the system I just built. WIN7 x64, 2 PNY Quadro 2000 video cards, nvidia drivers 267.17 & 270.71 both caused random crashes, and caused seize-ups/Not Responding's during conversion of projects from CS5. WIN 7 x64 always pointed back to an nvidia 64-bit .dll  Bummer! Then when I checked Windows Update, there was a sizable update for nvidia, about 150 MB. Turns out that that update loaded the nvidia driver 267.79 (8.17.12.6779), and guess what? ALL IS OK FOR NOW! Yay!
    I saw in an earlier discussion that nvidia is working on a 270.73 that will address these crashes, I'll keep my fingers crossed that all remains well until that release is out.
    Thanks to Adobe and nvidia for addressing this!

    The Quadro 270.73 drivers are out:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-win7-winvista-64bit-270.73-driver.html
    I haven't had any trouble with the 267.xx or 270.xx drivers, though.

  • Photoshop and NVIDIA display errors

    I have PS CS5 and an HP pc with an integrated NVIDIA display controller.
    Just recently, PS has started crashing the video controller and each time PS is closed down. Very annoying.
    I have u/g to the latest NVIDIA drivers, but its still happening. I have also just cleaned my registry from errors.
    Does anyone else have the same issue and any ideas on how to resolve it?
    Many thanks

    Photoshop relies heavily on the OpenGL implementation in the display driver.  It's possible nVidia has left bugs in the driver for your particular hardware.
    What machine/display interface is it, specifically?
    Here are the settings you want to experiment with to see if changing the way Photoshop uses OpenGL will help:
    Edit - Preferences - Performance.
    In the GPU Settings section, click the [Advanced Settings...] button.
    Try unchecking Vertical Sync.
    Try changing the Mode (e.g. from Normal to Basic).
    I suggest changing one thing at a time, and after making each change close and restart Photoshop so the settings are saved and it reinitializes with the new settings.  Then, after each change, test to see if the problem is averted.
    If you still see problems, you can try disabling OpenGL usage entirely by unchecking the [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing setting in the main Performance dialog.
    This page describes the OpenGL-based features in PS CS5:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405745.html
    If all else fails, can your PC take an add-on graphics card?  I'm thinking you could disable the integrated controller and switch to a card known to work well with Photoshop, possibly even another brand than nVidia.

  • NVIDIA Tesla C1060 in Lenovo D10

    Hi,
    I have an NVIDIA Tesla C1060 which I would like to put into a D10.  It fits in the spare PCIe slot, but requires either 1x8-pin power connector or 2x6-pin (from the same bus) and I only have one 6-pin available.  The card is for parallel computing, so I need to keep the NVIDIA FX4800 graphics card which is taking the other 6-pin power connector.  I have a 4-pin peripheral connector and a SATA connector available which also have 12V, so can I use adaptors to get the connections I need?
    Any help appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks erik.  I tried that and it is running OK.

  • NVIDIA Tesla?

    How will CS6 use GPU processing cards like NVIDIA Tesla? Or not? Limited to certain filters or offer a general boost like ram? I'd be interested to know how ppl might be planning for a their next PS supercomputer based on this new release. 64GB ram and a Tesla anyone?
