Does LR2 use GPU acceleration? Other system requirements?

Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
Do you think this machine will run LR2 for some time to come:
Dell Studio with Intel Q9400 quad core; 8GB RAM; 750GB hard disk.
Currently using integrated graphics, but there is a PCI x16 slot available.

>Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
No

Yes that's more than beefy enough. To use that 8 gigs, make sure you run 64-bit windows vista on it.

Cannot use GPU acceleration with 64 bit CS5 under 64 bit Windows 7 with two cards ATI & nVidia

Subject sums up the problem, but here are the details:
My ATI is a 5850, and I have drivers 10.6 installed. That's my primary card connected to my main monitor.
The second card is an nVidia GTS 250 connected to my second monitor with 258.96 drivers.
CS5 does not detect my GPU(s), hence, does not enable GPU acceleration. It says:
"Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable. You will need to upgrade your video driver and possibly your video card" both of which are obviously wrong, since I have the latest CS5 supporting drivers installed for two cards that can run GPGPU applications!
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I'm curious about whether the requirement to support HLSL Shader Model 3.0 is a big part of what is holding back GPU acceleration support for ATI cards in Adobe products. It seems that HLSL Shader Model 3.0 is NVidia/Intel proprietary, whereas GLSL is an open standard like OpenGL.
What ATI support do you find being held back? Just curious. I ask because I have a 2 year old ATI 4670 card that supports Photoshop nicely. The Catalyst software seems to have embraced whatever's necessary to run Photoshop.*

* That said, I see a specific bug where sometimes the 32 bit drivers on my x64 system will not be recognized by Photoshop 32 bit as OpenGL-capable at Photoshop startup. I've reported it to ATI, and they seem to have taken it seriously, so I expect a fix in a future version. The 64 bit drivers always satisfy Photoshop's needs, so I'm sure it's not a design deficiency but just a lil' ol' bug.

AME takes a long time to start encoding when using GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)

Have had this issue for a while not (current update as well as at least the previous one).
I switched to using GPU Hardware Acceleration over Software Only rendering. The speed for the actual encoding on my Mac is much faster that software only rendering. However, more often than not, the encoding process seems to stick at 0% waiting to start for a long time, say anywhere from 1 minute to several minutes. Then it will eventually start.
Can't seem to find what is causing this. Doesn't seem related to any particular project, codec, output format or anything else I can see. I'd like to keep using GPU Acceleration but it's pointless if it takes 5 times as long to even start as rendering by software-only would. It doesn't even pass any elapsed time while it's hanging or waiting. Says at 0 until it starts. Like I said, once it starts, it's a much faster render than what the software would take. Any suggestions? Thanks.
using an iMac, 3.4Ghz, 24GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

Actually, I just discovered it doesn't seem to have anything to do with OpenCL. I just put the rendering back to software only and it is doing the same thing. hangs for a long time before it starts to run. Activity monitor shows it running 85-95% CPU, 17 threads and about 615 MB of memory. Activity Monitor doesn't say its not responding, it just seems kind of idle. It took almost 7 minutes for it to start rendering.
1- Running version 7.2.2.29 of Media Encoder,
version 7.2.2 (33) of Premiere.
2- Yes, a premiere project of HD 1080 source shot with Canon 60D, output to H.264 YouTube 720, fps 23.976
not sure what you are referring to by native rendering. The rendering setting i tried now is Mercury Playback Engine Software Only if that is what you are referring to. But OpenCL gives me the same issue now.
3- H.264 YouTube 720, 23,976 - seems to happen on multiple output types
4- In Premiere, I have my project timeline window selected. Command-M, selected the output location I wanted and what output codec, selected submit to Queue. Media Encoder comes up, the project loads and I select the run icon. It preps and shows the encoding process setup in the "Encoding" window, then just sits there with no "Elapsed" time occurring until almost 5-6 minutes later, then it kicks in.

How did I get better compression when using GPU acceleration?

Hello,
I was just making a short, 1:12-long video encoded as H.264 in an MP4 wrapper. I had edited the video in Premiere Pro CC, and was exporting through Adobe Media Encoder at a framerate of 29.97 FPS and a resolution of 1920x1080. I wanted to do a test to see how much GPU acceleration benefits me. So, I ran two different tests, one with and one without. The one with GPU acceleration finished in 2:09. The one without it took 2:40, definately enough to justify using GPU acceleration (my GPU is an NVidia GTX 660 Ti which I have overclocked). I am sure my benefits would be even greater in most videos I make, since this one had relatively few effects.
However, I checked the file sizes out of curiosity, and found that the one made with GPU acceleration was 175 MB in size, and the other was 176 MB. While the difference is pretty small, I am wondering why it exists at all. I checked the bitrates, and the one made with GPU acceleration is 19,824 KB/s, whereas the other is 19,966 KB/s. I used the exact same presets for both. I even re-encoded the videos again just to test it and verify the results, and the second test confirms what the first showed.
So, what I am wondering is: What is it that made this possible, and could this be used to my advantage in future productions?

As I said in my original post, I did test it again. I have also ran other tests, with other sequences, and they all confirm that the final file is smaller when GPU acceleration is used.
Yes, the difference is small but I'm wondering how there can even be a variable at all. If you put a video in and have it spit it out, then do that again, the videos should be the same size. It's a computer program, so the outputs are all based on variables. If the variables don't change, the output shouldn't either. For this reason, I cannot believe you when you say "I can, for example, run exactly the same export on the same sequence more than once, are rarely are they identical in export times or file size."

I think you've anwsered your own question. If it does'nt meet the minimum spec it won't work.

Media Encoder CC not using GPU acceleration for After Effects CC raytrace comp

I created a simple scene in After Effects that's using the raytracer engine... I also have GPU enabled in the raytracer settings for After Effects.
When I render the scene in After Effects using the built-in Render Queue, it only takes 10 minutes to render the scene.
But when I export the scene to Adobe Media Encoder, it indicates it will take 13 hours to render the same scene.
So clearly After Effects is using GPU accelleration but for some reason Media Encoder is not.
I should also point out that my GeForce GTX 660 Ti card isn't officially supported and I had to manually add it into the list of supported cards in:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\raytracer_supported_cards.txt
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\cuda_supported_cards.txt
While it's not officially supported, it's weird that After Effects has no problem with it yet Adobe Media Encoder does...
I also updated After Effects to 12.1 and AME to 7.1 as well as set AME settings to use CUDA but it didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?

That is normal behavior.
The "headless" version of After Effects that is called to render frames for Adobe Media Encoder (or for Premiere Pro) using Dynamic Link does not use the GPU for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
If you are rendering heavy compositions that require GPU processing and/or the Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, then the recommended workflow is to render and export a losslessly encoded master file from After Effects and have Adobe Media Encoder pick that up from a watch folder to encode into your various delivery formats.

Black Screen (source and preview) when using GPU acceleration (CUDA) [NVidia GTX 780M]

Hi guys!
I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 7 (Ult) on a machine equipped with NVidia GTX 780M (4 GB VRAM) graphics card. The source and the preview monitors are both black if I select GPU accelerated rendering. There is a yellow bar above the timeline clips, I can hear the sound tracks, but there is no image. If I choose the Software Only rendering (CPU) then I do see the image as well, but the real-time playback and rendering times are awful!
At first, the application would not allow me to use the GPU acceleration using NVidia’s CUDA processing. Once I entered my video card name in the “cuda_supported_cards.txt” file in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 folder I was able to choose between Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration CUDA.
I tried downgrading the video card driver to the previous stable version and reinstall Pr – no go. How do I make Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 work with my NVidia GTX 780M video card?
Your insight is appreciated!
P.S. I used to work on a different machine equipped with NVidia GTX 670M card (which is also missing from the officially supported Pr CS6 cards list) and I never had any issues of this nature with that laptop.

Hi there,
As stated before, I had the same problem. Apparantly the solution for me was to check the Nvidia settings. My setup has both an onboard GPU and a Nvidia GPU (on purpose specifically for video editing and gaming). Normally the system should switch to Nvidia automatically. However, the Nvidia settings for Premiere where set to favor the onboard GPU. After changing this. everything works fine again!
kind regards. Bart

Does the new gpu acceleration in illustrator not support the GTX 750ti?

We have a brand new computer with a Nvidia GTX 750ti in it but we can't get Illustrator to recognize it for GPU acceleration.

Nvidia GTX 750ti is supported.
Illustrator currently support single GPU card with upto 2 displays connected. Could you please check if you are using more than two displays or more than one GPU driver/card?

Does it use GPU to render?

I have a 1.1 MacPro with 2.6 quad and ATI X1800.. Will upgrading my GPU to a ati 4870 5770 help with render speeds?
Does Compressor or FCP use GPU during transcodes or log and transfers for either encode or decode?

No.

How to use GPU acceleration in final rendering process in AE CS6 updated?

Hello guys!
Maybe my question is a frequent, but in fact I didn't get answer listing FAQs here.
So I have new NVIDIA Geforce card where CUDA supported. I enabled Ray-Traced 3d in "composition Settings" Advanced tab and also in fast preview settings. Everything OK and I can see no errors, but when I try to render one of video hive's projects, I see that CPU's load is 95-100% but GPU's is only 0-2%. What is the secret? How to use GPU for project rendering?

The GPU is used very little by After Effects.
See this page for details of what the GPU is used for in After Effects:

PS CS5 32-bit won't use GPU acceleration

I have CS5 32- and 64-bit installed on both my desktop and my notebook. My desktop runs Win 7 x64 Biz and has an nVidia GTX275 display card. The notebook is a Sony runs Win 7 x64 Home and uses the nVidia GT300M. Though the notebook is numerically higher, the GTX is suppose to be more advanced.
This is my problem: The notebook uses the GPU Open GL feature without a problem in either version. My desktop, however, only uses the Open GL for the 64-bit. In 32-bit, the option is grayed out. Can anyone point me to why the desktop 32-bit Photoshop can't/won't use the GPU hardware acceleration? I have the most recent drivers installed, so I know that's not the issue. Thanks.
Nemo

Yes, the driver is the issue.
Photoshop only enables the GPU support if the driver says it is capable, and if the driver doesn't return errors.
Somehow your 32 bit driver either thinks it is not capable, or is returning errors when it shoudn't be.

Release of a transport does not copy file to other system

Hi All
I am struck with an issue. When I release a transport request from my DEV server, The corresponding files donot get copied to the local transport directory of QAS system, resulting in the non listing in the import queue of the QAS system.
I have checked the mentioned
1. STMS configuration is all active and all nodes are attached to the domain controller (DEV) with all green buttons
2. Single global transport group is configured for all the systems
3. QAS server can access the global transport directory in DEV system
4. RFC connection to QAS server from DEV server is fine
5. RDDIMPDP is scheduled in 000 client of DEV system through DDIC using Report RDDNEWPP
6. RDDIMPDP is scheduled in 000 client of QAS system through DDIC using Report RDDNEWPP. However, in SM37, the schedule does not get displayed.
7. The /sapmnt/sap/trans directory of QAS system is writable
8. /usr/sap directories of DEV and QAS system is shared as saploc and sapmnt
Any ideas of what could be the error.
Regards
Lokesh

Hi,
All Systems belonging to the same transport group must share
the same DIR_TRANS. You need to setup diffrent Groups, if you like
to use a local transport directory.
WARNING: When using diffrent groups, but DIR_TRANS on these systems
points to the physical same directory, your transport files will get damaged
when trying to operate them !!! Read the documentation carefully to know
about the pitfalls of local transport directories.
