Duel Monitor Calibration with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT

I have ordered a Mac Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT and would like to know whether it supports dual LUT's? I have also ordered two 30" ACDs and would like them both calibrated for photo editing work in Aperture.
Looked at the NVIDIA site but couldn't see the answer.
Many thanks...

In short, no. The only way to get a LUT for each monitor is for each to have its own GPU. Having said that, I have the Radeon 1900XT driving 2-21" LCDs and have managed to get them really darn close with a good calibrator. If it's really important for you, buy a second card.
This is from the Nvidia knowledge base and the answer is the same for Macs.
+"Windows XP detects NVIDIA GPUs as a single processor even if the GPU supports dual monitors. This prevents the operating system from natively allowing two separate ICC profiles from being used on a single graphics card. This is not a problem if a user is running dual monitors and each monitor is running on a separate GPU.+
+Microsoft has provided a utility for users with two monitors running off of a single GPU who wish to calibrate both monitors. You may download this utility from the following URL:+

Photoshop CS4 Issues with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800?

I have an Mac Pro Intel 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon with 6GB RAM running OS X 10.5.5 and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT driving two monitors.
I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 fresh from a factory CD.
When I perform a Distort -> Lens Correction or do a Free Transform to rotate an image an arbitrary amount, and then follow that with a resize (tried 133% and 166%), the image ends up with a pattern of gray plaid overlaid -- especially visible in the darkest shadows. The pattern appears only on the rotated layers of an image.
This pattern persists if I quit and restart Photoshop, BUT -- there's no pattern visible if I open the same image in Photoshop CS3. It only appears in CS4.
This is easy to reproduce -- I just tried it with an image I created in Photoshop at 5x7" at 240dpi and filled with solid black.
I dropped a Bug Report to Adobe, and they wrote back suggesting "This is most likely an issue with your video card driver."
Anybody else out there having this issue? Anyone with an identical setup want to test this?

I'm seeing what you are talking about when viewing at 200% and up on my 300dpi images. I'm thinking that its the new pixel grid overlay for dialing in the details on the image.
No, that's not it. I can see it at 100%, and only on images that have been rotated and resized.
In fact, yesterday I rotated one layer under an unrotated layer, and only the rotated layer showed the plaid pattern.
And it's not a simple grid -- it's a real plaid-like gray, almost like stretch marks.

Does the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro 2.6-GHz version have the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

Topic title pretty much says it all. I want the 15-inch 2.6-GHz version with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

Yes, I have. The hardware specs are shown for this model, but when you dig further into purchasing it, it doesn't list the graphics cards under "hardware".
My main concern came from reading somewhere (maybe on this forum) that some guy said he chose the 2.3 version so he could get the discrete graphics. I thought all 15inch 2.3 and above had both:
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

Will be the NVIDIA GeForce 620M graphic card be compatible with any of Adobe Premiere series?

Recently I adquired the GeForce 620M graphic card, trying to resolve a problem with my Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 software (Premiere suddenly stopped working, and the only problem was the graphic card, the NVIDIA GeForce 210 series I used to have).
In order to fix that, I buyed the 620 series, but in the Compatibilities page of Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/premiere/cs6/pdfs/c ompatibiltiy-list-premiere-pro-cs6-only-hw-compatibility.pdf), in any of the Premiere series, CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6..., appears the 620M graphic card, so my cuestion is if the card is too recent to admit Premiere Pro.
Regards.

Employees and beta test people are not allowed to comment on any future Adobe plans
Any card will work with CS4 to send the display to the computer monitor
Hardware acceleration using CUDA cores is only available for CS5 and later
The official list is only updated as Adobe has staff time to completely test & certify any individual nVidia card... For many others, with at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file... again, this is ONLY for CS5 and later

Ask in the Premiere forum. On a more general level, though, CS4 will never be officailly supported, only current versions, if at all.

Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, is it worth paying an extra $200?

Software support of graphics card is key. If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored. Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.

Anyone got a GOOD calibration with the Dell 2408WFP?

From everything I've read, this monitor is tough to set up correctly, and perhaps best done w/ a Spyder 3 Elite, or other professional calibration tools...
But I've just got these buttons, my pointer finger, and Apple's & SuperCal calibration programs. Wee!
I've gotten a few decent setups, but since there's just SO MUCH to futz with on this monitor, I was hoping to get some insight here.
I'm running a new MacPro with the Nvidia 8800 card, FWIW.
tia,

Dear Mr. State,
Reading your question I think you desparately need a professional calibrator tool. Then you should forget the Spider 3 and invest in something decent and in the proworld that means Gretag MacBeth and, in combination with simple to use software your choice should be the La Cie BlueEye Pro tested here. This colorimeter should thoroughly solve your problem with every TFT and CRT monitor, is also usable with PC's and you do not need any activation code.
Best regards,
Robbert

Does NVidia GeForce 8800GT have a heat problem?

I have an older heavy-duty Mac Pro running with 8-core Intel 3.2Ghz Xeon processors and 18GBytes RAM, using an NVidia GeForce 8800GT display controller driving a 30' Apple Cinema display. After the Mac Pro has been on for half a day the white semitranslucent bars start to appear and gradually the screen goes to nearly all white if I leave it on long enough. In about an hour after I turn it off, the display is fine.
What component is the likely cause of this behavior? I do not hear any fan noise. Should I?
I have seen other reports of heat problems with temperatures and fan speeds mentioned. How do I find this out for the Mac Pro? MacOS verion is 10.6.3.

Less than 80ºC (load) is desired, but up to 85ºC may be seen. A good cooler would keep the processor down in the mid 60's to mid 70's under load.
Prolonged temps at and above the mid 90's will reduce component life.
Certainly temps over 100ºC would be terminal in the long run.
One would hope to see the card run between 50ºC at idle and no higher than the mid 80's under load.
Lower load temps (mid 70's) are better.......
The 8800 GT is getting old. Any card approaching or exceeding 5 years of use should have the thermal compound replaced.
All fan equipped graphics cards need to be kept clean and dust free. A dust clogged heat exchanger is almost as bad as no cooler at all.

OS X 10.10.1 won't recognize the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT side of 9400m/9600m dual video card

My 15" mid 2009 MBP 2.8 ghz 8g ram won't recognize the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT side of 9400m/9600m dual video card since upgrading to yosemite 1010.1 When I try to choose the better performance option I get black screen and a reboot loop. Any ideas why or solutions as to how to make the better video card work?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800GT in Mac Pro 08 machine

I recently posted a question about my Mac Pro's kernel panic issue on startup. After a call with AppleCare they determined it was a hardware issue. Since I no longer have AppleCare I took it to a local shop that is certified to work on Macs.
Their conclusion was that the video card went bad.
Now I know there is a recall/issue out on Macbook Pros with NVIDIA cards... however, it seems like there was never anything posted with Mac Pros. Obviously this being 3 years since I bought the machine warranties won't cover it. I've used my machine for art/design, so I was a little surprised when I wake up and I have no visual.
Is there a known issue or any coverage for this hardware defect?
I wanted to check her on the forums as none of my tech friends have worked on Macs, and the video cards for Macs are way more than the ones for PCs. As a last attempt I plan to bake the card in the oven, which a surprising number of users have had to do (all having their card for roughly the same time period and they just stop working).
Was 2008 just a bad year for NVIDIA?
Just seems odd that there is a known fix for this video card that multiple people have had to resort to, but there is no mention of NVIDIA acknowleding the issue. (Or maybe there is and I haven't stumbled across it on the web).
Any info is highly and greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

I've wondered the same thing myself about the issues with the nVidia chips from the '08 machines. I have a MacPro 3,1 that I got in late March '08 with the 8800GT. I had AppleCare and had several issues with my MacPro during those three years. The first problem I had was I started to get graphics corruption on the boot screen and regular kernal panics. Apple replaced the graphics card and everything seemed to be ok after that for a while. Then something happened where the computer would not power up at all. No lights, no fans, just completely dead. I suspected it was just a dead PSU however after seeing the repair reciept I was really supprised at what they needed to replace. Apple needed to replace both CPU's, the Memory, Logic Board, PSU, & Graphics Card. So it was esentially a completely new machine in an old case.
Now I'm having the same issue as before with the 8800GT having graphics corruption. I can't boot into OSX at all with out it crashing the system. I also get a BSOD when trying to load into Windows 7 via bootcamp. I remember Apple releasing an update to the 8800GT's EFI shortly after I got the MacPro when all the hoopla surrounding the mobile chips what going on. This patch seemed to slightly underclock (maybe undervolting) the GPU and increased the fan profile.
As it stands now I guess I'm just going to have to look for a replacement card. I think I'm going to switch to ATI/AMD at this point. I found the Sapphire makes a newer Radeon HD 7950 Mac Edition, has a bit of a price premium for a year old card but it's definitely better than spending alsmost the same ammount on the Radeon HS 5870.

Is the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS worth the money for Final Cut Express?

Hi,
I'm considering a new iMac 24, but not sure if the speedier on is worth the money.
Currently I use a MacBook Pro 2.2 for Final Cut Express with a 23" cinema (mostly DV, some HD) and that works okay, but won't play back in real time when I composit video.
Anybody know if the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS will help in that area?
Thanks,
KC

The speedier video card is great for 3D stuff, but it won't matter a wink for Final Cut Express, which barely makes use of the video card.
Keep in mind that Final Cut is using the CPU, not video card, to perform the editing, decoding, and encoding of the video. The only time the video card comes into play is during playback of the video, and any of the video options available for iMacs will handle that just fine.
When you composite video, the hard-disk throughput will start to come into play. The dinky 5400 RPM disk in your laptop will adversely affect the performance of that.

Dear Ms. Andersen:
Evga handles GeForce GTX 680 MX. Apple has nothing to do with it. However, I can try to help you a little bit
go here for Evga's Mac support: http://www.evga.com/support/download/default.aspx
This is one of those video cards that needs 2 power cables connected to the mother board for it to work propertly. It needs 195 watts of power, which the PCI-E slot will not provide on its own. If you have the power cables connected up okay, then the only advice I can give you is to telephone EVGA and see about a possible replacement. Apple's policy, as I understand it, is to replace same with same, even if you have the money and are willing to pay extra. This is a 3rd party video card and as such, Apple is not responsible for any problems wth it. I don't understand either: based on my knowledge of Norwegian, your screen size is 1280x800 and your bit depth is 32 bit, and you have 2 gigs Vram, so you should have no problem.
maybe you have a bad card
good luck to you

After Effects uses your CPU and RAM Primarily, not the GPU.
You only need NVIDIA CUDA for one function: the acceleration of ray-traced 3D compositions. Your newer Maxwell NVIDIA GPU does not contain the OptiX Library necessary for this function so it will not ever work for accelerating ray-traced 3D compositions. Sorry.
The After Effects team is no longer working on this feature and suggests that you use Cinema 4D Lite (bundled) for your 3D work instead. There are also some great third party options for adding 3D elements to After Effects compositions like Invigorator Pro and Video Copilot Element 3D.
Hope that clears things up.
Thanks,

MSI CX61 20D-011, does the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M have 128 bit or 64 bit bandwit

hello, i am planning on getting a new laptop and im very picky as to what i buy.
the MSI CX61 20D-011 pretty much ticks almost all my boxes for it performance to price ratio.
now i need to know what vertion of NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M graphics it has.
"The NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M is a DirectX 11 graphics card of the middle class. It is based on the Kepler architecture and manufactured by TSMC in a 28-nanometer process. In addition to an older version with the GK107 chip (384 shader, 810 - 895 MHz, 128 bit memory), there also exist models with the new GK208 (384 shader, up to 980 MHz plus boost, 64 bit memory). Both versions usually use DDR3 memory; however, GDDR5 versions are possible, too."
this has been quoted from the notebookcheck as external links are not allowed apparently
as you can see the 740M has 2 different chips a 128 bit one and a 64 bit one.
for me it would be desirable to have the wider bandwidth of the 128 bit one.
can someone please confirm, thanks.

Quote from: James D on 13-November-13, 06:10:03
This goes to MSI:
This is total disrespect to customers to offer 64bit, GDDR3 type GPU in nowadays laptop. This is very bad behavior, even though they never claimed CX as a gaming machine. WHat they do should be on 2009 laptop. Not on 2013 year.
Thank you for a screenshot.
1. Stop bashing MSI: >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
2. It's quite normal to use that kind of GDDR3 with entry level gpus and it is meant by Nvidia to be used that way. Using GDDR5 instead is optional and not quite attractive for notebooks of the CX61 price range which aren't meant for gaming.
3. This is a Users-to-Users Forum. If you want to contact MSI do so: >>How to contact MSI.<<
