ATI or Nvidia Lets have it?

Hi with the great need for the correct video card and driver's you would think Abobe would recomend a graphics card or two! However can we not start here, if there is any body not haveing trouble with there graphics card then maybe they would be good enough to replay and we could all think about changing I know I would.
I have A Asus ATI EAH4670 1G card, but this gives me jerky playing in the editing window, dispite updating all the drivers, It's ok with the driver that came with the card and no video driver but if I take the advise and up date it then it's jerky.
So lets have people tell us what does work could be intresting does any think work? with the this software?

Thanks Bill
But once again What are you using, a list of yours and Steve's spec would be a great guide for those up grading and comparing spec's. I know you guy's do a great job trying to sort the problem's out so thanks.
If those of you who are not having problems list it here, then we may be able to see what we need to get when we up grade

    <span class="postdetails">Windows Vista Drivers for 820 and 66
    I hate to say this about E-MU but the way they are dealing with Vista Drivers is unprofessional. I am a repeat customer of Creative products and was so impressed by my old Platinum eX that I bought a second to run duals for tons of audio processing. That was back in the day. Then I jumpped ship and tried out an M-Audio Firewire 40. That did not last too long beforei was completely unimpressed. So I came back to Creative... Purchased a 820 in the box. So impressed I turned around and purchased a 66 in the box just 8 months later. Both ran smooth as butter... All until i just recently built my new system designed primarily with audio production in mind.
    With a setup like this, who needs a mac?
    AMD Athlon X2 x64 Dual Core +6000 3.0 Ghz
    2 Gigs Corsair
    Samsung SyncMaster 206BW 2" Wide Screen
    EVGA NVidia 9700s 256 DDR3 Graphics
    SATAs up the yin
    and a PCIMIA to PCI Dock
    All under Vista Ultimate OEM
    And Guess what?
    Months into RTM of Vista...
    E-MU is caught pushing release dates.
    Last month it said they would release beta drivers middle of April...
    I waited, patiently I might add.
    I waited<waited some more, I try running xp drivers... computer wont even try to install them properly.
    My software waits, computer waits, turns into a gameing machine just because my all together 600 dollar investments in Creative are not important enough to leld me the drivers i need to be producti've in what i love.
    I need x64 drivers stat. I need them working, I need them installable without a glitch, a hitch, no driver signing problems, no questions, no fuss no muss. I find it ironic that you guys at E-MU are willing to jump right in there and make sure to have drivers compatable for you new products, yet faithful advocats of the most powerful soundcards you have are sitting here dead in the water because you dont find it nessesary to place priority on ready and waiting end users who have purchased long term support buy investing large amounts of moola into hardware from your company.
    Come on, its not like the 820 or the 66 are exactly legacy technology. We are talking about Hardware that is only two years old and should be usable for up to 6 years. This is deffinatly a strike against the company and just goes to show where Creative stands.
    I have stood by waiting in silence for a very long time.
    Now i think my time has come to tell how i feel and i believe there are alot of others out there that feel the same. the only items that do not work soothly are my E-MUs... go figure.
    And I have been looking forward to all i can do running both of them side by side.
    Oh yes, and that link posted above to the beta news for vista... its a joke. open up your betas, and have a real dev tell us what the hang ups are... At least give us real concreate reasons why it is taking so long.
    with that said, when you guys get yoru act together and get me some drivers, I will sit happy as a lark.
    My thoughts for today.

    Hello Silas,
    sorry for my bad english
    I already checked that page. On the first time I was trying to install Vista on a clean hard drive. The installation process finishes without errors but after installation Vista shows me a lot of error messages, mostly about unknown hardware. So I installed all available drivers I have found on Toshiba web site. It not helped me too much, hardware problems still remains. I could not find out what exactly causes probles. Finally I decide to install XP and then upgrade to Vista. Now everything seems to be ok. :D
    There was some hardware problems but much easier to resolve. It seems to me that Toshiba did not provide all the drivers, for example StarForce Protection drivers. Vista did not recognized this hardware on the first time.
    Now it works!

  • ATI or NVIDIA ?

      First of all, Happy New Year !   
    Ok now, the reason I opened this thread is to get an opinion with fellow forummers on this question which people have been asking me.
      " Which is better, ATI or NVIDIA ? " 
    And I answered that if we are comparing these two, we need to look at how to evaluate, in terms of Value? , Performance ?, and so on..
    If we look at value, ATI 4 Series apart from the4870x2, have been priced at a very reasonable figure and its price to performace ratio is very worth it.
    But if we look at performance,NVIDIA's gtx200 series have shaken the earth with its new gtx295, but of course the gtx295 is the ultra high performance card which not everyone can afford. In the computer market as a whole, the one that ATI and NVIDIA will give extra attention is to the mainstream line because it holds the more percentage of user worldeide over enthusiast class user.
    And if we are comparing to, we need to look at what kind of games that we are going to campare on.For ATI, of course they have an advantage if they benchmark on Half Life 2 because the game was programmed to bring the best out of ATI gpu's and the same for GTA series which was programmed best fo NVIDIA.
    So ladies and gentlemen, what say you ?

    Yeah but when it comes to resolution etc, it is down to the monitor ie: DVI,HDMI or VGA ?
    From my point of view, I choose ATI because of the price to performance ratio as considering that not all of us are Donald Trump.
    For performance yes I choose NVIDIA but nowadays, it is not down to performance anymore when we want to compare products.As a whole ATI won.

  • How much ATI does a macbook have?

    My child wants to get Team Fortress 2 but i heard it didn't work on his friends computer. How much ATI does a macbook have?

    Acually I'm sort of right since AMD dropped the ATI name in Aug. 2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon And Apple didn't use them in MacBook Pros until 2011 http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro
    Current MacBooks use the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory. They've used the Nvida since early 2009 http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbook

  • ATI- or NVidia-based cards?

    Hi everyone
    I know everyone has their favorites, especially when it comes to performance.
    Performance isn't that important to me.  Reliability and relative quiet is. 
    I'm considering getting one of the Frozr cards from MSI, but would like to know whether ATI or NVidia-based cards tend to have the least crashes and stability issues.  I have no intention of overclocking the card.
    thanks!

    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 24-February-14, 09:46:44
    Yup! Win 7 is a good one.    Might try 9 after some time has passed after it's release to see what gives with it.
    Still would like to know the chipset it will be used with. Can make a difference. Anyway, I have used nothing but nVidia ever since the 2xx series was released, with one exception which I sold the bundled AMD card that came with a special release of the BBX II mainboard. GTX 295's, 460's, 480's, and 680's. All still work to this day. I also prefer to purchase reference editions.
    X58 chipset/i920 CPU  (Asus P6T Deluxe V2, to be specific)...my current 4 year old GTX 260 (also an MSI Frozr) started acting up in recent months (at least I think it's the video card at this point), and I've tried every other fix other than replacing the video card (new drivers, new PS, played with the power saving options, removed various MS patches, no dice), so looking at the options out there.

  • ATI ou NVidia

    I'm considering buying a new desktop, but I'm not very familiar with the performance of ATI and NVidia cards. I'm going to prefer to use xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-nouveau. So do either of these open-source drivers produce particularly better performance than the other on similarly stacked ATI or NVidia cards.

    The ATI open source driver is far better than the nvidia open source driver, see

  • New trend; ATI out, nVidia in? Don't like nVidia ...

    Probably some political background why this is happening; Apple starts using the nVidia video chipset more and more, instead of the ATI ones. (AMD purchased ATI, and now intel does not want anything to do with ATI, etc)
    Will the 24" model of the new Core 2 Duo model become customizable to get ATI video anyway?
    I dislike nVidia, and prefer to have ATI video. I (and this is just a matter of taste) like the picture quality of ATI just much better. In PC mode (BootCamp) I like the ATI drivers/software better as well ...
    Does anyone share my opinion on this?
    MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   + WinXP Pro SP2 (Boot Camp)

    Hello,
    It's possible that some decisions are related to AMD's recent move to purchase ATI. But, I am not convinced that this is what we are seeing.
    Apple has been using nVidia for a long time. The original iMac G5 and some of the PowerMacs came with the nVidia chips.
    They have also been using ATI chips off and on for many years.
    I suspect that what we are seeing here is simply a matter of which chip is best suited to the display needs of the machine.
    They used the nVidia chip on the 24-inch machine. I suspect that the nVidia chip was probably better equipped to support that larger screen and higher resolution than the lower-end ATI chip that they are using in the base model iMacs.
    Sure, there are better ATI chips out there that they could use for higher-end displays (like the offering for the Mac Pro). But, it was probably cheaper to use the nVidia chip than to use the higher-end ATI chip.
    That would be my guess.
    Most decisions come down to economics and cost. Since they are still actively using both chips (like they always have), I would doubt that any politics were factored-in. Now, if they had moved everything to nVidia only, then that would indicate a political change based on recent company affiliations.
    But, as it is right now, I would suspect it had more to do with which chip fit the needs of the 24-inch machine at the lowest cost of production.
    I hope this helps.

  • Switching from ATI to NVIDIA graphic card caused initscript to break

    First off, I want to apologize for having to use a random BugMeNot account but the "What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?" question is literally impossible for me to answer as my Arch Linux system will not boot up.
    Well, that aside, I've run into a relatively serious problem. I used to have an ATI card in my system, using the catalyst driver and catalyst-hook to make sure it would keep working after kernel updates but then disaster stroke. My power supply died and dragged my graphic card down with it. After bringing it to a PC store for repair, I now have the NVIDIA GeForce GTX550 Ti card in it. All fine and well, until I wanted to start Arch Linux to remove my catalyst driver and install the NVIDIA one. I started the system, the initscript started to run, did a small part of it's tasks and while processing UDev events it started to spit errors regarding noveau and refused to boot up. (It only showed those errors for a very short time, so it's hard to get the exact error message. I've typed it over from an image I took with my mobile phone and the blurry image may make it possible for this to contain typos)
    Error message:

    Things I have tried:
    - Starting Arch Linux fallback
    - Starting Arch Linux on runlevel 1
    - Shouting at Arch Linux in frustration
    However, all three things resulted in the exact same issue.
    If anyone knows what to do or has even the slightest hint, I'd love to know.
    Thanks in advance and have a nice day,

    Hm, I'd try to put the nvidia card out and to plug the gfx cable into the socket of your onboard graphics chip, if any.
    Then boot into runlevel 3 (text mode) and uninstall the ati drivers. Poweroff, put your nv-card in, boot and install Xorg and the appropriate nvidia driver (just follow the wikis).
    If you can't boot into rl3 at all however, edit the grub's command line (or "kernel line") and add single at the and. After booting into runlevel 1 as a single user this way, enter init 3 for rl3. Finally edit /etc/inittab accordingly. -- Alternatively you can edit /etc/inittab with booting your Arch cd, and being chroot'ed.

  • Should I buy ATI or NVIDIA?

    Ok, so I know there's other threads on this, but I would like to know in everyone's opinion which chipset/manufacturer will work best in arch with a new computer that I am about to purchase. I'm mostly focused on finding a video card that will support dual monitors as well as perform well for games (possibly with the least amount of configuration needed).
    I tend to prefer NVIDIA over ATI, but I know that NVIDIA only has proprietary drivers and ATI uses both proprietary and open source.
    Quick HW specs on what I plan on buying:
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 (3.4ghz)
    GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA-UD5 (PCI-E 2.0 16x w/CrossfireX support, unsure if this supports SLI??)
    Dual 22" Flatscreen monitors (probably @ 1920x1200 resolution)
    EVGA or GIGABYTE NVIDIA GTS 250 (1GB, 256-bit, PCI-E 16x 2.0) Any other suggestions?
    8GB DDR3
    Any suggestions will help!

    yes that's a great card, i have two of them in mine.
    i know this is kind of a PC vs. Mac (whats leenucks) kind of topic, but i don't buy anything but AMD/ATi and i've never had any issues.  every machine i've built for others is the same.  i would agree that Nvidia has a nice proprietary driver vs. ATi, but since when is that important?  why support that?  from sources i've read about the proprietary driver, its pretty all over the place, and applies some rather intrusive things to the xserver; but i'm not an expert.  nvidia will never open source their driver because 95% of it is shared with the windows/mac driver code; very little is platform specific.
    the fact of the matter, like it or not, is these sorts of things are indeed political, and you should consider siding with the party that intends to promote a long term relationship with you and the product (gnu/linux) you wish to integrate, instead of whats "easiest" ATM.  money makes decisions.  ATi has demonstrated a long term commitment to us by ensuring that their products will have lasting support, even if not by them directly, by releasing the necessary information and funding the initial efforts to produce a quality integration with our platform.
    bottom line: buy ATi.  demonstrate your dedication to open implementations, and your demand for community involvement in proprietary, "component type" hardware products.  this is how we make things better for gnu/linux.  do you intend on buying a new card every 6mos?  each year?  the ATi driver code is on a fast development track; i wouldn't worry too much, unless you turn cards around faster than a year or two.
    my 2c.
    Huh, I was thinking the same thing.  ATi has actually invested in Linux by doing this, it's a longer commitment down the road, and will probably provide better benefit in the future.  As for nvidia they do make a great driver but I think they might be less adaptable to new Linux technologies and in fact be able to hold Linux adaptability to creating new ones because they have the market.

  • Can the ATI and NVIDIA coexist?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently installed a new ATI Radeon 5770 into my 1st gen MacPro 2006. I moved the original Nvidia GeForce 7300GT into slot #3.
    I installed Snow Leopard 6.0 into a new upgraded HDD to tests out the new OS X. My other HDDs are still running Tiger and Leopard.
    The problem now is that when I plug my monitor into the DVI of the ATI card, I get a black monitor. When I plug the Monitor cord into the Nvidia's DVI output, I get my normal screen.
    How can I get my new ATI working?
    I planned on using my old Nividia card for my 2nd monitor since the ATI is not equipped with dual DVI outputs.
    What am I missing?
    Rio

    Hi Grant,
    I did notice the possibility of using adapters for the card to support multiple monitors but I don't want to spend more money byuing them. The ATI card already cost a small fortune. I also somewhat failed to notice that the ATI 5770 only supports 10.6.x and up. I have other HDDs running on Tiger and Leopard for testing and software issues. I think I will most likely return this card and opt to find an Nvidia GeForce 8800GT wich may solve all my "issues". We'll what happens.
    Regardless, thanks for "chiming" in.

  • ATI and NVidia Card in MacPro - Setting primary GPU

    Hi
    I have a ATI 5870 (offiical, from apple store) in slot 1 and a NVidia GT120 (came with purchase) in slot 2, I want the computer to do the processing with the faster, bigger, better, I-paid-lot-of-money-for-this 5870, but things like Cinema 4D seem to want to use the GT120. I'm no expert on the technical side of thing, I just look at the cinebench and OpenGL info which all say GT120...
    Any tips on how to mane the 5870 the "main GPU" card, I commonly use more than 3 displays in the area of work I'm in so would prefer not to have to keep putting in / taking out the card.
    OS X 10.6.8
    Mac Pro 4.1
    8 Core 2.26gHz
    ATI 5870 - Slot 1
    NVidia GT120 - Slot 2
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Thanks,
    By defualt my main 2 screen run into the 5870, but when I view the OpenGL info in C4D it shows that the GT120 is doing the GPU work, and there is no sign of the 5870, but when the GT120 is removes it uses the 5870...

  • ATI and Nvidia cards together?

    Is it possible to run an Nvidia card with an ATI card simultaneously? I have a 2007 mac pro with the stock 7300gt. I need another graphics card for a third monitor and would like to purchase the new ATI 3870. Does anyone here have an Nvidia and ATI card running together? Are there any issues? Thanks.

    Hi Ashuta,
    With respect, I think you confused it. I replied to dualrecto's question. As I didn't want to assume what he meant, I took the opportunity to answer to it in relation to both OS X and Windows. His question concerned the 7300 and the 3870, not the latter and 8800.
    I haven't seen any info that the 8800 and the 3870 could run together in OS X. However, as was written in the Macnn post that I linked to in the second of the two Apple Discussions links you included, the "no-mixing of video card rule" apparently doesn't apply to the newer Mac Pros. Since the ATi 2600 and the nVidia 7300 work simultaneously under OS X perhaps the 8800 and the 3870 will also work under OS X (and saying that, perhaps it will be possible to run also the combo dualrecto is seeking).
    Whether you should switch to the 3870: I guess it depends on what you want to use the cards for. The 8800 is superior in 3D rendering provided the application can take advantage of it's OpenGL functions. Which is why it does well as a gaming card. If not, it seems the 3870 is a better bet: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/ATI3870_Mac_PC_review/radeonhd3870review.html.
    Good luck!

  • Which graphics card Ati or Nvidia?

    I am looking at PrE 9 but don't have a graphics card, only a chipset.
    I'm wondering if any current Nvidia card would work with PrE 9? Are Ati cards good or are they less compatible?
    Can you recommend one that isn't too expensive?
    Thanks.

    Elements does not offer hardware acceleration, so any card will work that will fit your motherboard
    ATI costs less than nVidia (in general) and I would recommend at least 512Meg of memory on the card

  • [solved] video jerks / stutters after migrating from ATI to Nvidia

    [solved] This only happens occasionally, so it might be a hardware issue.
    I have set up a new Sandy-Bridge System using my SSD from my Thinkpad T60 laptop with arch already installed.
    What's also new is that I am using an Nvidia card (my laptop contained an ATI card).
    Playing video files (avi, divx, etc), both video and audio streams jerk.
    SMplayer: both video and audio jerk
    Dragonplayer & Mplayer: video seems to run in slow motion and jitters, audio works
    What's weird is that mplayer and smplayer behave differently. I thought smplayer was just a front-end for mplayer.
    Maybe I still have some libraries left over from the ATI days which are incompatible with NVIDIA?
    Here's my specs:
    2.6.37-ARCH x86_64 Core i7-2600K
    nvidia-260.19.36-2
    These were my specs on my Thinkpad:
    2.6.37-ARCH x86_64 Core 2-T7200
    xf86-video-ati-6.14.0-1
