Does Thunderbolt 2 provide the ability to run an External GPU

Does Thunderbolt 2 provide the ability to run an External GPU (Nvidia Quadro 4000) for Mercury Playback in Premiere? The newly announced Mac Pro looks good except their choice in GPU, AMD, is very undesirable for any video editor using Adobe.
Apple seems to be trying to use their hardware to give their inferior software, Final Cut X, a competive edge over Adobe Premiere.
Either way, will it work? Will Thunderbolt 2 allow for full usage of external cards powering the new Mac Pro?
Is anyone else in my situation?

Thanks for the reply.
I have heard that Thunderbolt PCIe cards are not actually run at full capacity because Thunderbolt is limited in respects of PCIe power.
A PCIe slot has 16x lanes of power and thunderbolt has 8x lanes. I have wondered if Thunderbolt 2 is more powerful in that respect.
I might be wrong on all of this information becuase I have read from mixed sources all over.
As for video editors in my position, I just learned that Adobe plans to provide Mercury playback for the AMD cards that are coming in the new Mac Pro.
Still, I always appreciate overkill and would still love external cards on top of powerful internal cards.

  • Does Acrobat IX provide the ability to create borders around graphics?

    I am writing a book and want to create a 5 pixel border around some letters that have been scanned in order to define their size.
    I know that Microsoft Word 2007 has that ability. Does Acrobat IX???

    No. Acrobat is not an image or a text editor and should not be used for such editing tasks. And I doubt you can do it in Word, either, since the text in question is a part of an image if it was scanned.

  • So if Aperture does not provide the ability to burn photos to dvd/cd how do you go about doing that?

    So if Aperture does not provide the ability to burn photos to dvd/cd how do you go about doing that?

    Simply mount a disc in the drive, then in Aperture Export your versions to that location.  Later in the Finder, Burn.  No need for special function.

  • Please provide the ability to package up a Muse project.

    please provide the ability to package up a Muse project so that one can more easily handover the project along with all linked assets to someone else to continue the work on the Muse platform.

    I've thought of asking for this also! Like pack-and-go. Although Muse sorta "does" package things if you export the entire project to html, it would be nice to not have to do THAT first, and then bring the Muse file and assets/images into an entirely new folder.

  • I've suddenly lost the ability to run a slideshow

    For some reason, I lost the ability to run a slide show when in the event view. It worked moments ago. I created a show, selected music saved and now it wont work for that event or any other.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try rebooting. If that doesn't help delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Does Time Machine provide the same capability as Windows Restore?

    Hi - I am exploring backup and restore options for the MAC.  I am most familiar with Windows and Windows Restore, where you can restore a Win machine back to the same state it was at a particular point in time ( including the OS and system files. Does Time Machine provide this same capability?  Thanks in advance for your time.

    Yes, it provides the ability to recover personal documents only or a complete snapshot of the operating system with applications, files and settings present during the time that snapshot was taken.

  • ITunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

    iTunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

    Because Apple have designed it that way.
    It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators.

  • HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

    Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
    This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

    Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

  • Does Jdev 11g Provide the Introspection feature?

    Hi Everyone
    Does any one have the idea whether Oracle Jdev 11g supports the Introspection Design pattern?
    My Requirement is like I have two DTO's(Data Transfer Objects). The Source DTO has 100 attributes approximately. I need to have a feature/framework something like that it takes two DTO's and transfer the data from Source DTO to Target DTO and returns the targetDTO as output.
    I have seen this reature in Struts Framwork (org.apache.commons.beanutils )
    Thanks in Advance

    Why don't you just use the beanutil code?
    This is nothing specific to jdev, is just java. One other way is to write this feature yourself using reflection.

  • Does any iPhone have the ability to talk to text off-line?

    Would like to know if any iPhones have the ability to talk to text off-line?

    Speech to text as it currently works takes a powerful computer and a large database. It will awhile before phones are that powerful and have that much storage. Based on the trends toward cloud storage and constant connectivity, I don't see it as something companies will be interested in developing.

  • 2 weeks ago, Firefox changed. It will not print graphics in a web page or show them in print preview. It also does not provide the ability to select options in "print forms". they are now grayed out.

    I am using www.investools.com
    It prints the graphics in the normal page fine
    but when I switch to prophetcharts, which loads javascript, the graphs do not display or print.
    The text on the left side of the display show but graphs do not, even when I reduce printing size to 30%.
    I am using an HP 8500 Pro Officejet.
    Everything works in IE fine (but I don't want to use IE).

  • Does an author have the ability to update a ibooks author book once it is published, much like an app?

    I would love to create books like I create apps, where I can create an initial version, but improve upon it without having to have the customer purchase a whole new book.

    I've done a little research.  A little research is a dangerous thing.  The ISBN is a cataloging system for commercial books.  The Library of Congress catalogs books with its own system.  Libraries can use that. The Library of Congress will issue an LCCN, or Library of Congress Control Number, free of charge. 
    In Canada, ISBN numbers are issued by the Canadian government.  Free, as a means to encourage cultural development.  The US, on the other hand, has plenty of cultural development and not enough profit centers, so the monopoly of issuing ISBN numbers was granted to a single company, which sells them.   I believe so-called "aggregators" also provide them to authors for a fee. 
    It's really Apple's choice to require ISBN's on the ebooks it sells.  I don't believe Amazon does. Apple could just as easily require the LCCN instead, or create its own cataloging system.
    Strictly speaking, every edition of a book in a different format would require its own ISBN. One for iBook, one for Kindle,  one for print... on and on.  It runs into money.
    I think that for the iBooks platform to realize its full potential as a disruptive technology, it will need to get beyond the ISBN bottleneck.
    Compare the iBooks system with the App system. The App system is wide open. Because the "book" business has hundreds of years of tradition and baggage, anything with the word "book" attached to it drags some of that baggage along with it.  At least until some incredibly powerful corporate entity with a reputation for freeing up creative energies comes along and disrupts the old model.
