AMD 700 FirePro Graphics Card

Who wants to watch a grown man cry?  I spent a small fortune on a shiny new mac with 64GB Ram and to quote Larry Jordan, "I could rocket to the moon with the power of this computer."  I am running OSX (10.9.5) and have a 12 gig per channel ethernet Maxx Digtial Raid with Areca cards to support 6K footage.  However, editing my first project in Premiere CC2014 (leaving FCP 7) has been nothing short of problematic.  At first, it plays great but after 20 minutes of editing, speed changes, adding secondary shots etc it starts to play choppy, freeze on certain frames playing just audio and eventually crashes or it takes a minute to render.
I did every possible thing yesterday with Adobe and Apple support.  I reinstalled the OS, I trashed 3rd party preferences, trashed Premiere preferences, set project settings from OpenCL to software only and I tried changing location of the Premiere Cache folder but nothing seems to work.  Eventually the last Adobe support person said it was due to the AMD card and Adobe.  He was emphatic that it was Apple's fault.  Apple's support team said it Adobe's.  Well after that, Im still stuck.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Any pieces of the puzzle? 
Let me know.

Sadly, the Adobe apps are set for a much better utilization of nVidia's architecture & internal code than of AMD's. My builder is not pleased at this because he ... as a high-end gamer ... is quite aware of the high performance of many AMD cards in dealing with INTENSIVE video work involved in the top gaming apps. And frequently for much less moolah than the equivalent nVidia chipped card.
Go to the hardware forum, and the Tweaker's Page ... they've got stats on most of the "major" cards out there, and AMD cards are doing a bit better than they used to ... but still, the nVidia cards are where the action is within the Adobe sphere.

  • Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

    Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give.  I'm at a loss at the moment.  Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop.  I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time).  The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.  
    I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one.  When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
    From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
    But what if it doesn't.  Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
    Any suggestions?  Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
    Appreciate any assistance, guys.

    Hi,
    I see two possibilities.
    The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
    The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
    Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps.  If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.

  • Driver upgrade for AMD Radeon 5770 Graphics Card

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro, running OSX 10.8.5. Just installed AMD Radeon 5770 graphics card (Apple says this isn't supported; users I read said it works despite what Apple says in knowledge article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477). When I restarted, the system said my card was a Radeon HD 5000, not 5770. AMD's web site not clear about driver upgrade (and I believe I have to do this, since I took out the old graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with the Mac Pro at purchase). Didn't get a clear answer, yet, from Apple support. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know which driver to manually download from AMD's site? It's not clear, and they also suggested, talk to Apple to get driver support. Here's where I went, and found the choice not clearly mapped out for the Mac (and their autodetect software works only for XP:

    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5. (This card has just been discontinued and is no longer available from Apple dealers. There may be some new, old stock still available at resellers)

    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Fermi, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Kepler, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:

    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".
    One more thing--
    Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards. "for more information about using and flashing non-Apple cards, please check out the various sites like Netkas (and others) that focus on and discuss what is known and available.

    hi Ashish1793,
    If you're running on Windows 7 64bit, can you consider the following:
    1. Navugate to the Control Panel (icon views) > Display Adapters and uninstall both the Intel and AMD Display driver then reboot.
    2. Install the Intel Display Driver first then reboot.
    3. Install the AMD Dislpay Driver (the files will be extracted drivers to the C:\Drivers\VGA folder - overwrite if prompted and reboot if necessary)
    When finished,  you should now have both the Intel HD Graphics 4600 and AMD R5 M230 in the Device Manager > Display Adapters
    If you get a Code 43 error on the AMD Display Device Manager, try to install the AMD R5 M230 driver directly from AMD website and observe.
    If you have Windows 8.1, download the Intel and AMD Display driver from the G50-70 drivers page and install them respectively.

  • Any problem with AMD Radeon or FirePro graphic cards?

    Hi.
    I know that Adobe recommend Nvidia cards for SpeedGrade, but I ask to owners of AMD cards if they have found any problems with AMD cards: bad performance, not realtime with relatively few layers, etc, etc
    Which is your experience?
    Thanks.

    FWIW: I'm using a AMD Radeon HD 6750M (1GB RAM) on my Mac Book Pro. So far it performs fine, in some cases it even feels faster than the Quadro 4000 in my Mac Pro, but I think that has more to do with the type of projects. Mostly doing DSLR on the MBP and R3D on the Mac Pro.

  • 15" MBP i7 with AMD Radeon 6750 Graphic card - video artifacts

    Hello -
    After I connect a projector with HDMI, the projector starts having broken up/disrorted images at start up.  I brought my machine to the genius bar once and the tech used a few combo keys and it cleared the video memory and was like new again.
    Does anyone have the key combo?
    Better yet, is there a permanant fix?

    Known Service History
    From what I can find out.
    14 Jan 2013 - my client was experiencing display artifaces and the graphics card failed the Dell Diags video memory test. The graphic card replaced by Dell Tech. 
    13 Jun 2013 - my client was again experiencing display artifaces, running Dell Diags reported both hard drive and graphic video memory failed testing. I was concerned that the graphic card had failed again so quickly I worried there may be another defective part was causing the graphic card failure. I figured the most likely cause would be overheating and since the graphics card has an independent heatsink and cooling fan assembly I submitted Dell Warranty Request W03725377 requesting new hard drive, new graphics card, and new graphics card heatsink.
    18 July 2013 - my client was again experiencing display problems. He reported:
    The laptop has developed the same problem again. Soon as I switched it on over the weekend, the screen split into two and then it froze and then there  were stripes on the screen. I shut it down and switched it on again, hoping this will work but the screen just remained black.
    I booted into Dell Diags and shortly after starting the basic test when the test moved from solid blue to the GUI vertical yellow bars appeared. The yellow bars were visible throughout all testing except the LCD test and on the BIOS Screen. The LCD test didn't show the yellow vertical bars but it did show the repeating series of white dots that I have seen before with previous graphics card memory failures. I tried booting into Safe Mode and Safe Mode VGA 640 x 480. All attempts end with a black screen.
    I can order and replace the graphics card under warranty but it seems obvious that something is causing the repeated graphic card failures and I want to fix the problem. I've been searching the forums and it seems other people have been experiencing related problems. I've quoted a thread I believe may be relevant
    This thread explores a possible combination of LCD Panel Manufacturer and Graphics Card Manufacturer/ Model

    I believe I have a similar problem with my Dell M6600 with AMD(ATI) M8900 graphics card. I've used the computer without problems for 1 1/2 years and 3 days ago I noticed the mouse pointer getting corrupted, then the screen flashed and went dark. I've tried system restore without success. When I remove all the ATI software, the computer works with the Generic VGA driver. I spent 2 days trying to reinstall the ATI drivers from both Dell and AMD with no success again. This has been very frustrating as it takes hours to do a system repair check, boot in Safe Mode and remove the ATI software.When the ATI driver/software bundle is installed the computer does not boot correctly and go to a black screen after the Windows boot up logo. As soon as I remove all the ATI drivers and software the computer boots again and works with the Generic VGA driver. I don't want to erase my hard drives (RAID 1) just to try to fix this. I will buy another laptop hard drive and try a clean Windows 7 Pro install. My guess is that either the graphic card is going bad or ATI drivers are not compatible with the latest Windows Update. Did you have any luck fixing your problem?

  • Unable to Launch Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 using High-Performance on AMD Radeon Graphic Card

    I have been unable to launch Adobe Premiere Pro since installing it with the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again"
    Here are my specs:
    Lenovo Ideapad U400
    Windows 7 (64bit)
    Intel i5 2.5 ghz processor
    AMD Radeon 6470M graphics card
    The only occasion during which I have successfully launched Premiere Pro was after reverting to the default graphics card on my computer and uninstalling AMD Radeon, otherwise, I have tried to change Premiere Pro to run on High-Performance on Catalyst Control Center to no avail, I do not wish to revert to the Standard Graphics Card as it slows down my computers performance one hell of a lot, neither do I wish to have to constantly uninstall and reinstall my AMD Radeon Graphics Card when I use Premiere Pro. Thank you for your time.

    Update:
    - with Intel (R) HD Graphics Card disabled, Catalyst Control Center reports that no AMD Graphic card is installed
    - using Device Manager under Control Panel, AMD Radeon 6470M was verified to be up-to-date
    - Premiere Pro works so long as I disable the Intel card before launch, however, I re-enable it upon startup to get rid of the 800x600 resolution
    - AMD Mobility Radeon Driver Verification Tool is unable to verify and update my driver, refers me to lenovo to update it.
    - My graphics card is up-to-date as verified by lenovo
    - Intel (R) HD Graphics Card now up-to-date
    - Display currently mainly using Intel (R) HD Graphics Card (Possibly why it caps resolution at 1024x768 when disabled) I'm not sure how to switch the main Graphics Card used, Catalyst Control Center doesn't seem to have the option.
    - when disabled, computer reverts to vgasave instead of Radeon
    - Disabling Radeon does nothing to existing display
    - After updating my Intel card, Catalyst Control Center reported CCC was not supported by the current display adapter
    - CCC worked after rolling back Intel card
         From what I infer, I believe the problem to root from my intel card being the main card used, if there is anyway to switch my radeon card to the default instead of the Intel card, do tell me, I believe this may solve the problem, I apologise for troubling you guys, and I'm starting to feel that I shouldn't be troubling Adobe with my problem with AMD, this discussion is probably really out of place but I hope it will help out others with a similar problem.

  • PCI-E 2.1 X16 Graphics card on MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard

    Hi,
    I recently bought an AMD Radeon 6870 graphics card to upgrade my aging machine. The card is a PCI-E 2.1 X16 card and unfortunately does not work with my current motherboard.
    I was recently looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard as a possible replacement that would work with my new graphics card. In the specs the board is said to have 1 PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot. I just wanted to check if this board will work with the card or not?
    Any help on this front would be much appreciated. I am a uni student with limited funds from a part time job and, as a result, I can't afford to spend money just to find it doesn't work again.
    Thanks in advance for your help   

    Thanks for your reply Whilst I acknowledge I don't have that much time for gaming, once in a while isn't going to hurt and I do need to relax sometimes 
    I've already bought the HD6870, so choice of card isn't the issue. I have a 700w PSU which I have tested using a friend's old board with the new HD6870 card and it worked fine, so I definitely know that the PSU is fine and that the card works. I have a foxconn A7VMX-K at the moment and updated to the latest bios to see if that sorted the issue. However this didn't work.
    I am now in the market for a new board and was looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD board. It says it has a PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot on the specs of the seller's site and on most other sites. On some it just says that it is version 2.0 compliant, which is a bit confusing. I just wondered if anyone could tell me whether the HD6870 (PCI-E 2.1 X16) would work on this board (PCI-E 2.0 X16)? Many thanks

  • P35 Neo 2 (MS 7345) PCI 1.0 compatible slot use a PCI-E 2.1 Graphics card ?

    A simple question I'm intending to upgrade an old Ati (AMD) Radeon x1950 Graphics Card to the latest Radeon HD 5770 for Christmas. The question is whether the Radeon HD 5770 that uses a PCI-Express 2.1 Slot is compatible with the old PCI-Express 1.0 bus found on the P35 Neo 2 version 1.1 motherboard. Theoritcally PCI-E version 2.0 was backwards compatible with the older 1.0 and 1.1 slots, but unsure about the latest version. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You
    Sorry should have read 5770 not 4770.

    Though there's 2 x 12v rails @ 24A but it does not means that it is 24A x 2 as they come from the same single +12v rail. Usually there rated +12v max combined is only about 60% to 70% which means about 34A for your PSU.
    As such, your PSU may be able to handle the new card but you'll only know when the card is installed.

    Hi:
    Graphics adapters cannot be upgraded simply. 
    You would need to replace the motherboard with one that would have better graphics (if one exists for your model).
    This would cost as much as buying a new notebook, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such an endeavor.

  • Graphics Card not detected.

    I bought my laptop two days back. Its the new HP Pavillion dv6 laptop. I have a 2gb AMD Radeon 6770m graphics card installed. But my games do not detect it. Even when i right click on the catalyst center icon on the taskbar i have a tab called Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics where i can change the setting for intel HD Graphics which come with the new intel cores. No where in the computer was i able to change the active graphics card.

    You have to set the game to high performance in the ccc
    for start the 6770 will not run opengl games or apps on any dv6 or dv7 61xx

  • Installed 2nd graphics card in HP Pavillion Windows 8.1, but displays remain blank (no signal).

    Model #: 500-314
    Product #: F3E92AA#ABA
    I just upgraded to a new HP, and need to run 4 displays.  I purchased a 2nd video card (Radeon R7 240), installed it, overcame the secure boot issue, but the additional 2 displays are blank.
    When I check for the graphic cards, it only shows the AMD Radeon R7 Graphics card.
    Also, the R7 240 CD with the drivers, does not open. when I click on it.   It just shows the little blue circle like its working on opening the program, but it does not open the program.   So I went to the Radeon website and downloaded the drivers for the R7 240.  It installed Catalyst, but still nothing.
    What can I do to make this work?
    Thank you

    Hi:
    When you install an add on graphics card, the onboard video is automatically disabled and cannot be enabled.
    That info has been left off of the product specs page.
    You can check to see if there is a BIOS setting to enable the onboard video but I doubt there is one.
    I can't help you with why you are having issues with the add on card.
    All I can say is that if you did not first uninstall the graphics drivers from the onboard graphics before you installed the new card, that is probably the problem.

    Hello @CrazyWolf ,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, the Switchable Graphics feature allows you to switch between using the Intel graphics and a discrete graphics controller like AMD in a computer. For example, you can switch between the enhanced battery life of the Intel graphics while running on laptop battery power and the performance capabilities of the discrete graphics controller while the laptop is plugged into AC power. Your Notebook will automatically switch to the Intel graphics if the computer changes to battery power, or it can switch to the discrete graphics if the computer is plugged into AC power. Some computers use third party software to do the switch.
    I hope this help explain this.
