Dual video cards and PS4

Hi I was wondering if anybody else is having this problem.
I am running a mac pro with dual video cards (8800 and 2600) and I cant select opengl in photoshop cs4. if i disconnect one of the cards it works.
Is it not possible to use dual cards with PS4
Any help?
David

well, I have two graphic cards of the same kind but with Photoshop CS4 open, I can only view the images on the first monitor: if I put the image on the 2nd display it shows a black window :-((( maybe a bug of the software?!?

  • Dual video cards and render speed

    Will two video cards render Motion content faster than a single card? More specifically, will dual cards help when the Motion files are used directly in FCP? Using Motion 2.1.2 and FCP 5.1.4

    It depends on the graphics card driver. In the past, some cards, because of the way the driver was written, would divide available VRAM between two monitors. Over time though, drivers have gotten better, and this limitation is fading away. Even though, being that your graphics card has to render both the GUI for your OS (which is now loaded with effects as well) and Motion, keeping your screen real estate reasonable will allow your card to devote more resources to your project. Every pixel has to be rendered somewhere, whether its your project or the twenty translucent widgets you have loaded into your dashboard.
    You won't see a "boost" by adding more VRAM, any more that you will see one by adding more system RAM. An increase in RAM equates to greater calculation space within which to work. For Motion this will show up as the ability to process more layers and real-time effects before a RAM preview is needed.

  • Mac Pro Locked Up and Now  One Video Card and Audio Not Working

    Last night, my Mac Pro totally locked up to the point I had to power it off to get it to do anything. When restarted, one of my video cards and my audio are no longer working. I have dual monitors so tried switching the connections to see if it was the monitor and that was not the problem.
    I tried doing a formal shutdown after the restart and this also did not clear up my problem.
    Everything was working fine prior to the lockup. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    If you've added RAM and are using the nVidia 9400m video driver, you may be using incompatible RAM

  • Mac Pro Mountain Lion Kernel Panic Dual Video Cards

    I've been getting constant panics since upgrading to Mountain lion on my 2009 Mac Pro.
    Worth noting is I have dual GT 120 Video Cards and dual 30" LCDs.  Every panic seems to be caused by com.apple.NVDAResman
    This computer has been rock solid since 2009 and only after "updating" to Mountain Lion has it become unstable.
    Was hoping 10.8.1 and 10.8.2 would fix the issued, but neither have.  It's worse than ever.  Crashing every day.
    Already reinstalled the OS, tested the RAM, etc.  No change.  Still crashes everyday.
    What should I do?  It's really eating into productivity...

    I have the same problem

  • How good is a Macbook Pro with dual video cards for gaming?

    I've been a PC guy my whole life (aside from my iPhone which I love). My gf has been pushing me to try out a mac and considering how my PC laptops have a pretty good track record of dying on me or encountering some other problems after a year or two, I can't help but consider making the investment. The only thing is, I'm a big gamer and usually get the latest games. I'm not super tech savvy though I do my research and get a sense of what kind of specs are better and worse.
    In terms of gaming, I always assumed that more ram = better. In that sense, I'm a little put off that even the most expensive MacBook Pro only comes with 4 gigs of ram (which is what my year and a half old laptop has now) especially when it seems most newer laptops have 8 gigs minimum for a fraction of the price (and 16 gigs if you're willing to spend as much as you would on the most expensive macbook pro). Does RAM somehow work differently on a Mac or is it truly that little?
    Also, how does the whole dual video card thing work, does that mean I'd be having the power of those two cards put together?
    Personally, I've been leaning towards the Asus G53SX-NH71 because I can buy it for less than the cost of the cheapest macbook pro and as far as gaming purposes go it seems to have more power than even the most expensive Macbook which costs over double the price.
    Am I missing something here? Do the dual video cards really bring that much to the table or for gaming purposes am I better off with a PC?
    Thanks.

    I've been watching this forum for years, and I'll have to say that gamers are not a big group around here.  A few things.  First, getting 8GB of RAM for the MacBook Pro is cheap.  Most people either don't care, pay Apple to do it, or, like me, DIY.  The max you put in a MBP is 8GB, so no 16GB, unless you were looking at the iMac or MacPro.
    Second, there is no dual video card in a MacBook Pro.  There is an integrated video card, an Intel HD3000, which shares RAM with the CPU, or a discrete video card, an AMD, various versions on different MBP's.  The Intel is for low battery usage.  The AMD is more powerful, and it's to be used when you've got power.  The video card has more applications than just gaming, but also in video and photo editing. 
    No one here is going to talk you into one platform or another.  If you are only going to game in Windows, then it's a waste to get a Mac.  If you're going to game in Windows but want the Mac side to do everything else, the build quality and elegance of the Mac will far exceed most products out there.  You can run Windows in Boot Camp natively, and as I understand, gamers love it, because the Mac is actually a better Windows machine than most Windows machines.  But I don't play games, so I have no proof. 
    So the choice is yours.  And we could argue all day long about the side by side comparison of a cheap Windows machine vs. the Mac.  You are using the price vs. price comparison that is a false dichotomy, ignoring how one values various features.  For example, the trackpad on a MacBook Pro far exceeds (and I mean light year exceeds) anything on any other laptop out there. 
    I spent 10 minutes answering your question.  I'm not debating you on x vs. y.  The choice is totally on what you're going to do.  Most of us are trying to contribute to the world, so gaming is low on the needs list. 

  • After Effects is NOT using the full Twelve GB of memory on my Mac Pro late 2013 dual video cards

    I would like to know if there is a reason why AE CC12 and CC13 (2014) is not using the full amount of video card memory on my MP late 2013. It's six GB per freaking card I invested in and its not accessing it.
    Is there a work around this issue?

    Why shouldn't it. When I upgraded to this new Mac Pro late 2013 with its dual video cards. Premier turned into a blasting fast editor. I no longer need to render my edited cuts and the scrubbing of preview and timeline footage is phenomenal. The only performance boost I've seen in AE with this new system is in rendering and I can't even say its double as fast in comparison to Premier or Encoder and its an 8-Core system with 32GB of ram. Everything else is flying.
    So again to answer your why should it. I rebuttal with "Why shouldn't it". The other two mentioned programs are using GPU resources to improve performance why is AE so behind the curve.
    I'm not the only one asking why. I was in the audience at a Dmala meeting here in LA with Todd Kopriva and Al Mooney previewing AE and Premier 2014.
    People kept asking Todd about performance boost in between questions about new features. Todd finally just asked what do you prefer a couple of new features or performance boost. Everyone wanted performance boost over new features. If you think I'm making this up go ask Todd Kopriva.

  • Dual video card on the m3985

    I'm planing to upgrade my m3958 to it's limits  for 3d rendering.

    More information on the Video Card integration problem, but no success yet.
    I plugged in the second monitor; an Acer AL2223W LCD connected to one of the ports on the EVGA GeForce GT 610 card, to see if it would be recognized. It displays "No Signal" when turned on.
    Did a search on the computer and found the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. That had a place to search for video equipment and the only thing it would find is the Samsung 213T.
    I verified that the fan on the card is running so the card is getting power via the PCI-E slot.
    The 2 outputs on the video card and the receptacle on the Acer are DVI-I dual link configuration with 24 pins + 4 pins at the flat pin for analog signals. The Samsung has a DVI-D dual link receptacle (24 pins).
    The cable is DVI-D Single Link (18 pins + the flat pin). When I get another cable it will be DVI-D Dual Link.
    It seems that the  EVGA GeForce GT 610 video card is not being recognized by the mother board or not putting out a signal.
    There was no driver disk with either the video card or the computer.
    Power supply is 430 Watts and the card specs say the PS should be at least 300 Watts.
    Do I need to do something with the BIOS or get a driver or setup disk for the board or card or do something with a jumper on the MB?
    Do I need to get the DVI-D Dual Link cable to get the signal from the Video Card to the Monitor?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    i have also flashed the bios to the Latest release.
    XP with SP1 finds the second video card but says device will not start, i have also tryed different PCI slots, still the same error.
    I would love to get this working due to doing mostly a lot of Video Editing can some one please shed some light on this.
    Many thanks
    MAV

    I have only setup dual Video on 845 Max but
    use nvidia chipset on all cards PCI tnt2 m64s and any AGP that is nvidia
    Use a new driver detonator 30+ and you may have to shuffle the PCI cards around if you have a'hardware conflict
    Works under 9x, W2k and XP
    Make sure all the cards are using the same driver version... you may have to manually udate each driver in some cases

  • PSCS4 crash - dual video cards - steps

    Many here may know my tale of woe when it comes to Photoshop Cs4 and dual video cards.
    I finally solved 95% of the crashing issues by installing twin video cards to drive 3 monitors. But I was still experiencing a crash once or twice a day. I've finally determined exactly what was causing those occasional crashes and thought I'd post it here (as well as file a bug report) so others would be aware of it.
    I drive 3 monitors - 24" Dell Ultrasharp, 30" Apple HD Cinema, 20" Apple Cinema off of 2-nVidia 8800GT cards in a 2007 2.66Ghz Quad MacPro with OS 10.5.7 and a Wacom Intuos 4 Large tablet with the latest driver installed (6-2-2.1 or whatever it is). 24" and 30" Monitors share a single video card and 20" is connected to the second video card.
    Photoshop CS4 has all OpenGL features turned on.
    I use the 30" monitor for the main window plus the toolbar and Control Bar. All other panels are arranged on the 20" monitor to the right. 24" Monitor not really active when Photoshop is in use. I do not have documents set up to open as tabs, I specifically have turned that off.
    An application crash is easily reproduced with the following steps:
    Open two documents on Monitor 1 -- call them DocA and DocB - Color mode, bit depth, etc is of no relevance. Floating windows, no tabs.
    Have the Layers Panel open on Monitor 2.
    With DocA the active window on Monitor 1 and DocB visible behind DocA somewhere -- i.e. not tabs, but floating windows -- click and drag a layer from the Layers Panel on Monitor 2 to the window for DocB on Monitor 1.
    Spinning beach ball for about 20 seconds
    Crash.
    Crash happens in every instance.
    What I have yet to test:
    Turning off OpenGL features
    Making the 20" and 30" share the same video card
    Hopefully this info is of some use to others with multiple video cards.

    I do not think this is likely to be confirmed as a photoshop issue as it is just as likely an issue with the Apple monitors which are notorious
    for going belly up.
    But most important it is curious as to why one has two cards and three monitors if one is not doing motion graphics, just curious. And then why three computer monitors.
    And in order to make this an issue with the three monitors and two cards and photoshop you would have to remove the second card and the third monitor
    to see if the crash no longer occurs. If the crash still occurs it would then not be an issue with the card more than likely as you would still have the drivers for the third monitor on your system.
    I have two monitors but seldom use the second for panels I would prefer to use it for preview of the entire image when retouching details on the main monitor. Hate to go back and forth from one monitor and the other.
    I don't necessarily doubt that this could be a bug with photoshop and the cards and monitor configuration or it is a n Apple problem for their support of two graphic cards, which I do not think Apple promises or Adobe for that matter. I think it is a problem that has to be tested one several different systems in order for it to be pin down.
    So you need other users with the same monitors and cards and of course your model Mac which is the same as mind the original MacPro 2.66Ghz model with those same monitors and upgrade cards. Of course you also need users with similar configurations but different models of displays and Macs and graphic cards to make certain it does or does not happen on other configurations.
    I know you are not saying it is photoshop's problem but there is no way at present from what you state to pin it down to anything specific.
    For instance if you turn on the third monitor and put some panels or a third document on it does that stop the crash? If no then it doesn't tell you much but if yes then would the second card have anything to do with this crash?
    You might or might not get my point.

  • Video Card and PSU upgrade for HP pavilion p6310y?

    Hello,
    I am a mild gamer and I would like to upgrade my video card so I could play games like minecraft and maplestory without my frame rate dropping every 5-10 min.  When this happens it sounds like the fan in my computer is working really hard and the game is almost unplayable.  I also play a few games from steam such as Gmod and Borderlands, however the games that seem less graphic intensive give me more problems. 
    Should I and am I able to upgrade the video card and psu for this HP pavilion p6310y?  or possibly get a better card for these game without upgrading psu?

    Hi,
    Yuo might try updating the video driver from the NVIDIA web site.
    Your PC has a 300 watt power supply.  If you don't need DirectX 11 (used for better detail in newer games), then the NVIDIA GT 240 1GB or 512 MB DDR5 is about tops for a 300 watt power supply.

    Sorry for the long copy and paste. I read that I can upgrade the video card and power supply. But atm when I play world of warcraft at ultra settings, I tend to lag really bad in the new instances with the new cat expansion that came out. I wanted to know if I should upgrade the video card and power supply for better performance or just upgrade my whole pc tower.  Fyi, I am running a Acer X243w lcd flat panel monitor if that helps too.

    My brother has a high end laptop with a built in, high end gaming video card (I forget which one). He's able to run the game on full-on Ultra. 
    I have an integrated video card which games the game on.. 'cartoon'.. mode. It's lower then low. When someone shoots a powerful spell at me, I go into a DOS Prompt. (not really, but it's pretty bad).
    Funny thing is, I can still kick my brother's butt in any PVP match he wants to set up. 
    But I guess his graphics are pretty....
    As for which video card works best, I'd have to do some research. After that graphics update they did with CAT,  it's kind of a toss up again.

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
    I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

    I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen.  The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

  • Looking to upgrade the video card and power supply in the K330

    Hello, I'm looking to upgrade the power supply and video card in the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330 but I need to know if these parts will be accepted by the mobo.
    Here's the card name (no link, don't know if theres a restriction to off site links) ASUS 2GB GDDR5 DIGI+ VRM technology Graphics Cards HD7770-2GD5
    The power supply name follows: Xion High Performance 1000 Watt ATX Power Supply XON-1000P14F
    Thanks for reading, and extra thanks for a good reply

    Thanks for replying, I have looked into other PSU's and came up with this: XFX PRO750W Core Edition 80+ Bronze ATX 750 Energy Star Certified Power Supply
    Feedback? And main question is, will they both (video card and PSU) be compatible with the motherboard that come standard in the K330?
    I don't really have a need for the front panel except the power, and backontrack buttons.
    Also, the reason why I'm getting a high wattage PSU is because I might later decide to build my own PC with the upgraded parts, and put the old parts back into the K330

  • Will this video card and power supply work on my computer? HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC

    I have a HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC, will this video card and power supply work on my computer?

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    It is unlikely that the power supply will fit/work in your HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop Computer. Please consider the Corsiar CX500, CX500M, CX600, and CX600M for your power supply needs. These power supplies are the same physical size as the factory unit and are known to fit and work in most HP full-sized consumer desktop computers.
    There is a chance that the GTX 760 and other current generation video cards may not work in your computer. These newer cards typically require the computer to support the most current UEFI standards and many motherboards don't meet this criteria. Please know the return policy on any video card you purchase, in case it doesn't work. If the GTX 760 doesn't work, consider the GTX 650/660 Ti or equivalent AMD graphics card for your graphics card needs.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
