Can I use 2 graphic card for optimisation in adobe?

Hi, I am using Adobe CS6, Premiere pro, After effect, Photoshop, InDesign.
Current set up is Dell XPS 8700, GTX 650 Ti, 128gb Plex SSD, 2TB 72krpm HDD, 16DDR3 non-ECC ram.
I am looking to build a LGA 1366 dual xeon processor workstation.
Plextor M5 Pro as main hardisk for application cache
2x Intel Xeon X5570
16ddr3 10600Registered/ECC ram
SAS 10k rpm HDDs support 6gbps but I only using 3gbps controller (media drives)
Graphic cards:
1x Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti
1x Nvidia Quadro FX 1800
Need advice on the possibility of using both graphic cards in my upcoming set up.
eg, ulitilising the Cudas on my GTX while still enabling the use of quadro fx 1800. (not sure if Quadro fx1800 can enhance the flow..)
If able, pls share some light on how to go about enabling both graphic to use in adobe
My work is mainly, photo and video editing.

Hi Stormancer,
You cannot use two different graphics cards in SLI which is the main benefit of having two cards.
As far as I am aware the FX1800 is optimised for CAD use when you state mainly editing photo and video so I can't see that card being particularly beneficial to you.
If you can afford it why not just buy a better spec single card either the Quadro or GTX? 
I currently run a Windows 7 64-bit system with an i7 3700k, three SSD 6/Gbps, RAID 6/Gbps and 2300 Mhz memory with a recently upgraded GTX 680 and find it more than capable of both photo and HD video editing plus some After Effects work.  I would class myself as a serious Hobbyist (with 30 years PC experience) and suspect that yes you need the latest kit if you are editing professionally because of the deadlines and high quality required but once you reach a certain level, the gains are very negligible.
While I was looking to upgrade my card, people on here suggested the Quadro K5000 mainly because I have a 10-bit NEC PA301W (25th anniversary present off hubbie) but this card was out of my budget so I settled on the GXT680 and find it more than capable for my needs.  It is much faster than the old Radeon 5770 I had.  However, while researching I came across this site which explains the way Mercury GPU is utilised, you may find it helpful:

  • Does Premiere Pro 2 use graphics card for playback?

    Does Premiere Pro 2 use graphics card for playback? I am using a 350W PSU, so my nVidia 6600GT runs in low-power mode, and my video playback in Premiere is choppy. The same .avi files play fine in a media player, so it can't be a disc issue I guess... Please advise, thank you!

    Only the latest CS5 uses SELECTED card's GPU for video acceleration
    >same .avi files play fine in a media player
    Playback is not at all the same as editing
    Use the FREE http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ to find out what codec is inside that AVI wrapper
    Anything other than DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound is not going to do well in Premiere

    Can I use debit card for purchasing from iTunes in India?

    There is a small discussion that iTunes takes debit card with a Visa/Mastercard logo.  I have no idea what the banking rules are in India.  But this may another option to try.

  • Can i use Prepaid card for purchases?

    The online store uses the same address validation - the help pages for the US online store includes :

    To prevent any unnecessary delays processing your order, please ensure that the billing addresses on your order matches the information on your credit card account.
    Again you can try using it, but you are likely to get an error message

  • Can't use Graphics Processor for Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8

    Hi,
    I just got a fresh upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro (not beta) but then I can't use Photoshop that well. In the Preferences > Performance, I can't tick "Use Graphics Processor". I have an ATI graphics card and yep, I've already tried upgrading/reinstalling my graphics driver, even installing old ones -- and still, this doesn't solve my problem (even in its control panel, I can't seem to see the settings of the graphics card!)
    Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

    What display driver have you installed?  And what is your card?
    The ATI Catalyst 12.8 driver release claims to be compatible with Windows 8, though I haven't tried the combination myself yet.
    Did you install Windows 8 as an upgrade or a clean install?  The latter is always preferable.
    I know a secret registry incantation that will force Photoshop to use the OpenGL subsystem no matter what, and I've used that to get GPU acceleration in a test installation in a virtual machine, but rather that put that forth just yet let's find out if you've done all you can the "above board" way first.

  • Hi can i use itunes card for purchasing balens on Eternal Fury?

    im planning to buy balens/load on Eternal Fury app but i dont have credit card is it possible to use itunes card?

    You should be able to - iTunes gift cards can be used to buy from the iTunes store, app store (including in-app purchases), iBookstore and Mac app store. To do in-app purchases you need to be using the same account that downloaded the app from the store, all content from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • FCP Studio2 seems to use Graphic card for rendering

    Hi,
    I've notice that, since i installed FCP Studio2 my displays lag a lot when rendering, exactly like when i render in Motion.
    So it seems that FCP Studio2 now uses GPU acceleration.

    When I was at NAB, I was told that FCP 6 uses Core Video. This is the same method that Motion uses, which is why FCP 6 "is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors (Final Cut Pro requirements page)". I've always had trouble while rendering in FCP 5, but mostly the whole entire computer is slow. I would say it is normal that the display is acting this way with FCP 6. IMHO, just let the machine render, and go get a sandwich, take a walk, play the guitar, or something other than use the computer while it is rendering. That will make the time seem like it's going by faster, since you aren't waiting for the computer to work. Once you get used to transitions and effects, you should find yourself rendering all of those things at the end of the project, instead of one at a time. That way, you will do one or two big renders, and not 50,000 little tiny ones that really eat your time.

  • Qosmio X500-10V - need new or used graphic card chip

    Need a new / used graphic card for my Qosmio X500 10V!!
    Please contact!
    greatings, Kingsley

    Hi
    Im not quite sure if you will be able to get only the graphic chip.
    I guess the graphic chip would be sold in connection with an new motherboard.
    However, the notebook seems to be equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTS250M GPU.
    You can contact the authorized service provider in your country to get the compatible part. Not quite sure how much such GPU could be but I think it would not be a cheap replacement.

  • Can I get a better graphic card for my laptop?

    Hi, my name is Mitchell and about a few years ago i got an Hp Pavilion G6 Notebook pc.  I use my laptops mostly for school work but now ive started to play games on it and ive noticed that I can play some games because the graphic card is not the best.  Instead of makeing a new gaming pc I wanted to just upgrade the graphic card on it?  Am I able to buy a graphic card for it and instal it?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    What is your G6 ? G6 is a series of many models/laptops and normally we can't upgrade video card on 99.5% of them. Not just G6 series, other laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and work station class machines.

    Oh thank god i am not the only one with this problem. It started with me on Saturday (aug 28) and still, no solution.
    I live in the border with the USA so i’ve been using my itunes account with a USA debit card and then it started with that **** declined CC problem =S
    The funny thing is that i’ve been trying to change countries, setting my account to Mexico and it would still say that the CC are declined. Tried 2 USA cards and 2 Mexican cards, no results =S
    Wanna read something funny. I even tried to create a brand new account based in Mexico, with another email address and it still wouldn’t let me, tells me my cards are not valid……..the **** apple!!! i cannot update any app and i just got my iphone 4 on friday last week and i am dying to try new apps.
    So far I’ve sent 2 emails and still no **** solution. At least i am not alone =’(

  • HT1918 Can i use debit card in itunes store for purchase in india

    Can i use debit card in itunes store for purchase in india

    Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
    You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    Using a debit card in any online service where it stores your card is a bad idea in any case since if someone gains access to your account in the service, they can quickly drain your bank account. Credit cards limit your liability, as do prepaid iTunes cards.

  • HT2305 I PURCHASED AN ITUNES CARD FOR $50.00 IN THE USA WHILE I WAS ON VACATION  HOW CAN I USE THIS CARD WHILE I AM IN THE USA.    .......ELLIS

    I purchased an itunes card in the USA while on vacation for $50.00----how can I use the card while in the usa.....Ellis

    You will need to set up an account in the US iTunes Store to use that card, for which you will need a valid US mailing address. Note that the Terms of Use for the iTunes Store state that you will not attempt to use the US iTunes Store from any other country, so you will not be able to buy new items or re-download previously purchased ones from the US without violating those terms. So you may want to reconsider your purchase and perhaps return the iTunes card or sell it to someone who lives in the US.

    Can you use iTunes cards to purchase items in a game such as gems for Clash of Clans-if so how? Help please!

    You can, if you have a balance on your account and it covers the amount of the IAP that you want to buy then it should be automatically used for the purchase - if it doesn't cover the IAP price then any remainder will be charged to your credit card.
