Caution, nVIDIA Quadro FX cards may not support DirextX 11

Anyone thinking or acquiring any of these cards be careful if DirectX 11 is something you will need in the future.
During September when researching the Quadro FX cards one of my criteria was that it supports DirectX 11.
At that time their latest driver version indicated it does support DirectX 11.  Only recently when running a program that requires it did I find out the card does not support DirectX 11  !
So now I've got to look at something else to replace this card.  Anyone here want it?
Not so cheerful,
Michael

The card in question is the Quadro FX 3800.
However, my colleague has the Quadro FX 4800 and will run into the same problem.
Regarding running the DirectX update from Microsoft, the answer is yes I did.
The NVIDA Customer Care representative's response was as follows (I really wish one could copy and paste this):
"I apologize for the inconvenience.  I must add though that the 259.81 Driver Package is generic to a lot of devices.  The idea behind this is to streamline the process of driver packaging.  Whilst the 259.81 drivers support DX 11 it requires a card to support DX 11 to work successfully."
Checking NVIDIA's product lineup this means only the 5000 series and up support DirectX 11.
What disturbes me, that there is no mention in the driver's web site description indicating this card is excluded.  To the contrary it is listed as being included!
As well the fact that this "customer care" representative alludes to my incompitence in not checking the specifications...
Cheers
Michael

  • PE4 freezes - "Your card may not support full duplex"

    Brand new Dell Studio 17 laptop
    Vista Home Premium 32 bit
    I open PE4, start a new project, bring in a couple of MP4 files. Then when I try to play it gives me an error message: "Playback failed. The audion system does not seem to respond. Maybe the card does not support full duplex."
    PE4 then freezes, and I have to ctrl-alt-delete to close.
    Audio works fine everywhere else, until I try to run PE4. Then the card is dead and nothing works.
    Any suggestions?
    James

    James,
    "Tried it with PE3 as well, same thing." Are you saying that you installed PE3 on the Studio 17 and got the same error message when you tried to play MP4 or JPEGS on the Timeline? If so, did you install the Premiere Elements 3.0.2 update for Premiere Elements 3 before you got started? I do not believe that Premiere Elements 3 by itself was ever Vista compatible.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3565
    I would like to see the specific online links that Dell T/S cited to Kevin for claiming an Adobe/Vista (non Dell) issue. Would it be a good idea for you and Kevin to compare features (especially video and audio cards as well as drivers) of your Studio 17?
    The result of Kevin's contact with Adobe re: this matter, should be interesting, and I am looking forward to their spin. As far as I know there are users out there using Premiere Elements 4 with a Vista Home Premium operating system. Hopefully other forum users here will address that point and correct me if I have misspoke about that.

  • Installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended

    I've installed FCP6 on my PowerMac (PPC G4 DP 1.25GHz), and when I run it, I get a warning ("...installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended...") and the program ends. The graphics card is the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (64MB)
    I'm looking for a definitive answer regarding my hardware compatibility with FCS2 (specifically, FCP6). I'm NOT looking for an answer along the lines of: your system is too old to run this.
    I've checked the minimum system requirements from the apple website (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
    and http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/):
    * A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    * 1GB of RAM
    * An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    * A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
    * QuickTime 7.3 or later
    * DVD drive for installation
    I have all that stuff. What I'd like is to know which component of my system is FCP6 complaining about (vis-a-vis the error message above), alternatively, if someone has had success with a similar configuration, I'd like to know anything they think might help.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice you may have.

    The minimum would probably be an nVidia Fx5200 or an ATI 9600...

  • Nvidia Quadro 2000: DisplayPor​t not working

    Hello,
    I have a brand new S30 with a Nvidia Quadro 2000 card (latest drivers from Nvidia installed). Output to one display (LT2452p) through the DVI port is ok, but the display stays blank when connected via any of the the DisplayPort outputs. Since I want to attach 2 displays, I need to use the DisplayPort connectors...
    Any hint on how I could check whether the graphic card itself is faulty?
    Thanks in advance!
    --Pierre
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello pierrech,
    Can you use another Display Port cable and another Monitor with a Display Port input to make sure it's not the monitor or the cable? If that doesn't work, the graphics card (possibly the system board if the graphics card is welded onto it), will need to be replaced. I hope that helps.

  • The App store stopped accepting my credit card all of a sudden. It says that my credit card is "not supported by the Chilean app store"... The credit card is Chilean and was working just fine. Help!

    This is the second time this happens. I was living in the US until April 2011. I moved to Chile and kept using the App Store and the iTunes Store just fine with my US-issued credit card. However, when I accessed my Apple ID from a different device, the store stopped recognizing my credit card information and migrated my ID to the "Chilean" App & Itunes Store (significantly less apps & music... but anyway). I started using my Chilean credit card on the App and iTunes store with no issues. I supposed that the devices catched that I was no longer in the US and that I had to be transferred to the related store (which I think is fine), and that because I was now in the Chilean store I needed to use a Chilean-issued credit card (which doesn't make sense to me, I still don't understand why Apple stopped accepting my US credit card if it is accepted everywhere else in the world online and offline!).
    However, yesterday I bought something from my iPad and when today I went to use the app store from my iPhone the SAME THING happened. I got the same request to "update my billing information", I confirmed my Chilean credit card info and, surprise! "Your credit card is not supported by the Chilean app store"...
    I don't get it. If I didn't get it the first time, I ended up accepting it an getting over it because ok, I moved to another country and my account was migrated, etc. But now, it doesn't recognize my local credit card in my local store! I tried both my local Visa and my local MasterCard, and none of them worked. It looks like my account will not accept ANY credit card, no matter wheter I try to update the info from my mobile devices, on iTunes, on the Mac App Store, etc.
    It has been impossible for me to find any information on what causes this and on how to solve it, and so far I hadn't had any trouble with Apple and hadn't need any support before, but now that I need URGENT SUPPORT, I've come to realize that THEY SUCK at being accessible! There's no way I can contact them! So, please help me!!!!! I need urgent help!!!!
    Thanks and sorry for the very long post.

  • I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

    Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.

  • Getting error "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

    How to fix this problem
    "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

    When I have seen this message it is either when I try to open a document with an older version of Indesign E.g. an indesign 2014 document with Indesign CC.
    The other time I have seen it is to open an Indesign CC document with Indesign 2014 which does not have Mindsuite - a plugin I use. Mindsuite, as yet, has not upgrade the plugin for Indesign 2014 therefore it recognises that a the document was created withe a plugin that the 2014 version does not have installed.
    I believe your problem will be something like that.

  • InDesign may not support this file format message?

    What do I do when I get a Adobe InDesign may not support this file format, a plug-in that supports this file format may be missing message?

    Do you understand the difference between embedded (all of the image data is stored within the file) and linked (what happens when you use File > Place.... where a pointer to the file stored in the file along with a screen preview)? You must deliberately embed images -- there's no way to do it automatically. Pasted graphics are also stored internally.
    As to why it no longer works? Probably a write error while saving, especially if this is saved on a network drive. Writing 9 gb takes some time, if the file was really that big and isn't cross-linked to something else.
    To keep ID file sizes down always Place images and graphics rather than pasting, and do a periodic Save As to remove old change data that will become useless file bloat when you close the file. I tend to add a version suffix when doing the Save As at any major change point, rather than overwriting the original, as it gives me an automatic backup chain and a way to go back to a previous version if I need to move in a different direction.
    Do you have a backup?

  • How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file for

    How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

    Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
    Yes, it ought to.
    If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
    The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.
