I dont expect great things since 3d support in linux still new. But the problem is i didnt get the part "Unknown GPU".
When i try
$ lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"
i get
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] (rev ff)
What does it mean. Does bumblebee cant detect my graphics card which is nVIDIA GT540M (1GB). Is there some step i missed.
Thanks in advance.

Well, right now I don't have any way to compare the X800 and the 9800 - maybe I'll take my home card and see how it runs in my office G5. But if you PM this nice gentleman Gotoh on StrangeDogs, he was very helpful to me and he's in Europe. He could probably speak more to the performance differences between the 9800 and the x800.
BTW, Motion rendering is ALL about card performance. FCE rendering is all about CPU performance. And to your second question, Motion uses the card to do all its rendering, so higher playback frame rates mean faster rendering times...

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

Success story: NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect repaired at no cost

This is the story of Apple servicing my MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA graphics card defect.
I had the NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect in my 2 year old MacBook Pro. The symptoms were pinkish images, scrambled and chopped images, and finally leading to no video, all within a matter of 3 days. I called AppleCare using the old number I remembered from my 100mhz Mac days: 1-800-SOS-APPLE. I was greeted by a real person within 3 minutes. She explained that my 90-day complimentary phone service had expired some 600 days ago.
After I mentioned the specific Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377), and that it was covered up to three years out of warranty, she transferred me to a MacBook Pro specialist. Sheri ran me through several standard resets and reboots. She then suggested that it be taken into an Apple store for a genius to look at. When I explained that the nearest Apple Store was an hour away, she arranged for a mail-in service.
After the call had ended, I received a simple email with her phone number so that I could contact her if I needed to. Another automated email contained my repair case number and a link to check the status online. The online status center is very easy to use. It displayed three steps: Sending the empty box, service in progress and return. FedEx tracking numbers were included with working links.
The next day an empty box arrived, completely with graphical IKEA like packaging instructions and form fitting foam for my MacBook Pro. I knew when the FedEx truck came around, so I had my computer ready by my side. As soon as FedEx showed up, I explained that the empty box was for the computer and Marcos helped me apply the pre-paid return label and taped the box expertly with tape from his truck. I also placed in the box a copy of the Apple Knoweldge base article and pictures I had taken of the issue.
Apple had included a small stack of super adhesive pre-cut tape square, but Macros was already taping it before I figured out what they were. The return label was also pre-paid with overnight service.
The next day I logged into the online support status at Apple.com and checked my status. The tracking number showed it had arrived in Houston, and the three steps had been updated to "Repairs completed" and "Return in progress."
The return FedEx tracking number was displayed later in the evening, and it showed that it was guaranteed to arrive by 10:30AM the next day. Speedy service! Sure enough, the next day I had my computer back in my hands, all data perfect and intact. I was very worried since I was not able to make a back up before sending it in, and Apple does not guarantee data safety. Apple had replaced the logic board, valued at $700 on iFixit (http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-2-Duo-2-2-GHz-Logic -Board/IF185-073).
The funny thing is, for the past 5 years, I have always cloned my drive or used time machine, but for the past two months I had cleared the backups to make up extra room on my externals. You really never know when disaster will strike!
Learned:
- Apple Customer Care is top notch, speedy and their status site is very easy to use
- FedEx service was very helpful
- If you have a NVIDIA graphics card, Mac or PC, check if your model is affected. Just today Sony announced that NVIDIA cards with defects will now be covered for 4 years out of warranty. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10307592-64.html)
- Back up your stuff NOW. Use a flash drive or email files to yourself for a cheap fix.

ha
got the same problem with my mbp (dec 2007)
also no video within 5 hours .... also no external video.
lucky i had screen sharing on so i could check the system profiler via an other mac.
It couldn't find the 6800M GT anymore...
did another backup and went to the local apple store
took a print out of Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377)
and they replaced the logicboard+gpu for free within 10 days ...
everything is ok now except for my maxmsp copy which thinks it runs on an other machine and complains about a missing licence ....

NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card - Code 12

I have installed my new NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card and installed the driver perfectly (BIOS is also up to date) but when I check the device manager (via the built in Integrated Graphics) it says:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)
I tried disabling the Integrated Graphics and then restarting the system with the GT 610. I can hear the computer reach my log-in screen but I have no picture apart from a black screen and a solid white '-' in the top left corner. I tried to take it a step further by disabling the intergrated graphics directly from the BIOS but when I do that, when the pc starts up I get stuck on the Blue into screen that says "press escape for startup menu" which doesn't work at all, forcing me to turn if off.
I feel like I am so close to getting my new card to work but I can't figure out what to do from here. I have tried looking for a similar experience using the search function and one dude said he got his to work by disabling "many" "unnecessary" hardware things, but I am hesitant to do that without proper knowledge...
Please help! I will keep a close eye on this thread in the coming hours (currently 8:54pm here).
Edit: I have posted the exact same question on the GeForce forums.
Edit: Troubleshooting tells me that "Hardware changes might not have been detected".
Edit: Location - PCI Bus 1, device 0, function 0.
This question was solved.

Actually you may find that you have more success with an AMD\ATI Radeon video card.
I have experienced that with some motherboards, specifically Pegatron motherboards.
The problem is that you are delving into the DIY gaming PC realm and trying to do it with a prebuilt desktop PC.
Upgrading a prebuilt PC does not always result in a success story. Don't even consider trying to install cutting edge gaming memory modules. That will be a definite disappointment for you.
You may get lucky with an AMD Radeon HD video card.
But...You might just run into the same frustrating scenario you are facing today. I wish I had better news to give you.

Can i install nVidia PCI express graphics card on a ATI X200 motherboard

Is ATI X200 motherboard compatible with nVidia PCI Xpress graphics card(Gforce 6series card)?
My system configuration
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
ATI XPRESS 200 RS482M2 Series Motherboard
512 MB DDR RAM

It is indeed my friend, I have put an NVidea G-Force 6600 PCI-E in a MSI RS482M-IL Motherboard (using the ATI Chipset) and it works a dream , not a problem. The only advantage of using an ATI card is that the catalyst drivers on the CD for the motherboard works with the card!

NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M Graphics Card for PC Laptop

I am looking to buy a new laptop PC.
Does the NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M graphics card work with the Mercury Playback engine.

I can tell you first hand that it works on my laptop with the "soft-hack". I am using a Sager custom build with 3 internal drives and an eSata external drive for my media.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. My response may be a bit slow as I am on assignment in Afghanistan.

NVIDIA Quadro 5000 Graphics Card

Is the new NVIDIA Quadro 5000 Graphics card which is based on NVIDIA's new Firmi architecture compatible with Premiere CS5's Mercury Playback Engine?

Here are the system requirements.
The card is listed there.
Apply the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.

I hooked up mine and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser get stuck. how di fix this?

i hooked up mine airport and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser gets stuck. how di fi?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Graphics card seems slow

Hi,
my computer specs are as follows :-
ATX Case with 480W antec supply
MSI KT4av- L Mobo
256Mb Samsung PC2100 DDR Ram
60GB Hard drive
120GB Hard drive
Raedon 9800 pro graphics card
On board Sound
AMD 2500 XP Barton
Pioner A08 DVD rewriter
LG DVD Drive
Floppy
Various USB Peripherals
Various Fans (runs fairly Cool)
Firewire Card
USB Card
The machine is not overclocked and runs fairly cool.
I had a horrendous time in installing my raedon card. There seems to be some problem with the Kt400 chipset and the ati cards. This resulted in a new power supply that seems to be rock solid. After changing drivers , settings, bios the only way i could get my card to work is set it to 4x AGP. I kept it at full acceleration and it know seems stable but no obvious real advantage over my geforce mx 440 card.
I download 3dmark and run that and came back with a score of 5261. Without any reference point other than reading other peoples posts this seems low to me.
I have some DDR 400 512mb ram coming which i think may help the situation.
Can someone help me with what i should be expecting with this set up.
If it is a problem with the mobo i am willing to change to something else - maybe a Nforce chipset.
If any suggestions on this could be made as well it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mick

Hello,
Do you mean you have flashed the BIOS too?
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=456&kind=1
Have you plugged a power connector into the GFX card?
AGP 4x vs AGP 8x the difference is quite small, the 9800pro running at 4x is still much better than your old card.
Sometimes when change gfx cards, nvidia to ATi the drivers go funny.
Did you uninstall the nvidia drivers before installing the ATi ones?
Uninstall everything(nvidia drivers/ati drivers)
restart.
Use this
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745
Install this.
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1039
Restart

Are you uisng windows XP with SP2?

NVidia GeForce4 Ti graphics card problems on my G4 1.25 MDD

I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 yrs now and since i bought it from Apple it has the nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 graphics card w/128MB DDR. Love the card, but now its acting up.
At random while playing my favorite Online Game, WoW, the Computer will have system lock ups that feel like its an issue with the Video Card. I get the Gray Translucent effect that goes over the screen then the Dialog box that pops up with You must Resart your computer, blah blah blah. I think thats a Kernel problem (not sure). Can't force quit and I am forced to power down with the Power Button and then re-power up to boot up. Often I have opened my case to blow the dust out of the case with compressed air and I notice the GPU Heatsink/Fan is extremely Hot, even hotter than the CPU Heatsink. Could the GPU Heatsink/Fan have gone bad? If so could this cause the Card to Fail?
I ran an Apple Hardware Test one time to check it out and the Quick Test passed but the Extended Test Failed giving me a bizarre Error Code for the Video Card. I didnt recall the Code but It leads me to think the Video Card Failed!
I still Have 1 yr left on my 3yr AppleCare. What Can I do? Perhaps the Card needs to be replaced? I can't afford a new Video Card.
Thank you any help or idea is appreciated.

the apple care people were very nice and helped me through some checking and did more AHT (didnt seem necessary but) and they told me the Error codes meant something to do with the Cooling FAn faulting. I got a case # and took it into my local Apple store.
the genius tech was great and listened intently. made me feel better about bringing it in.
the initial reports from the apple care tech on phone and the apple tech at the apple store estiimated the video card would need replacement. very nice people, down to earth and didnt make me feel stupid as some techs do.
after seeing the estimate made me glad for apple care... whoah, lets just say if I didnt have apple care, I wouldn't have gotten the computer repaired, I would of opted to attempt to just buy parts as I could.
now stuck checking this discussion site with my old BWG3, and I am hoping the 7days rolls by fast.
Thanks for the help.

Sound no longer working after graphics card installation

Okay, so my problem is:
I recently added a graphics card to my windows 8.1 PC. The card itself works fine (a GTX 750Ti), but since installing it my sound no longer works from either port. Things I have already tried:
Rebooting (obviously)
Taking the card out and then replacing it
Going through all the control panel audio settings (more on this later)
Disabling the HDMI audio on the card
Trying different (provably working) speakers and headphones
Updating/installing drivers (not that you need them for headphones)
The "playback devices" screen declared that nothing whatsoever is plugged in (it is). I'm concerned I might have damaged something during installation, but nothing seems obviously damaged, and I would have expected static to either do no damage
or wipe out the entire motherboard. The back port is working, so it isn't the cable. My monitor output is HDMI (with no speakers on the monitor), if that makes any difference.
Penny for anyone's thoughts?

The back port is working, so it isn't the cable.
I’m confused as to what this means. If you have audio via the ports on the back of the computer but not in front ports you may have damaged the front audio cable or connection on the motherboard
or at the front ports. Find the HD Audio (or AC’97) port on your motherboard and verify that the cable is connected and intact, then follow this cable forward to your front audio ports. If you stressed this cable by tugging or pushing, it could have damaged
the connection to the front ports. Sometimes these ports are connected by a header like the motherboard and this connection could have come loose.

Will be the NVIDIA GeForce 620M graphic card be compatible with any of Adobe Premiere series?

Recently I adquired the GeForce 620M graphic card, trying to resolve a problem with my Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 software (Premiere suddenly stopped working, and the only problem was the graphic card, the NVIDIA GeForce 210 series I used to have).
In order to fix that, I buyed the 620 series, but in the Compatibilities page of Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/premiere/cs6/pdfs/c ompatibiltiy-list-premiere-pro-cs6-only-hw-compatibility.pdf), in any of the Premiere series, CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6..., appears the 620M graphic card, so my cuestion is if the card is too recent to admit Premiere Pro.
Regards.

Employees and beta test people are not allowed to comment on any future Adobe plans
Any card will work with CS4 to send the display to the computer monitor
Hardware acceleration using CUDA cores is only available for CS5 and later
The official list is only updated as Adobe has staff time to completely test & certify any individual nVidia card... For many others, with at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file... again, this is ONLY for CS5 and later

Ask in the Premiere forum. On a more general level, though, CS4 will never be officailly supported, only current versions, if at all.

HP xw8600 nvidia gtx 650 graphics card "cannot start device code 10"

I have an HP xw 8600 with two Xeon 5450 processors and 4GB RAM, it's still running XP sp3 with /3GB enabled. Bios 01.46
The original ATI Firegl graphics card just died and I have installed an nvidia geforce GTX650. The latest nvidia driver is installed version 344.11. But the graphics card isn't running correctly, it provides very slow low resolution graphics and device manager says "cannot start device code 10".
I tested the card in a Dell t1700 and it worked correctly.
NB. while waiting for the GTX650 I installed an old nvidia fx550, the card worked correctly running dual monitors. BUT after installing the GTX650 and getting the error, if I switch back to the fx 550 it also now gives the code 10. Tried going back to a restore point before the GTX650 was installed and reinstalling the fx550, but it stall has the same code 10 error.

Hi:
You may also want to post your question on the HP Business Support Forum -- xw Workstations section.
